The Art Sozo Workshop is a group workshop where participants are led through a series of painting activities to help them encounter the Godhead. Each activity builds upon the last to provide an atmosphere of vulnerability and safety as part of the process is sharing the art pieces with the others in their small group. No art experience is necessary as this is encounter art and it is more about the process than the end product. During our workshops, we find many have deep breakthrough as the process of doing art bypasses logical defenses and can access areas needing healing that have not been touched before.

(see supply list below).

This event will be led by Gail Spooner, Pastoral Counselor at Bethel Transformation Center and founder of Art Sozo.
