 With all due respect and concern for the health & well-being of

Students/Participants/Instructors alike 

Whispering Woodlands will be cancelling March and April programs at this time.

 

Individuals that have registered will be given the choice of a refund or credit to a rescheduled program date or another program entirely.

We will be working to reschedule those that can be based on instructors availability.  

 

 

We are ever hopeful for late May or the beginning of June and beyond.  Planning with some of our visiting instructors for June, July, and August have been added but of course this may change over time. Additional program options are waiting to be added as this pandemic, Covid 19 allows. Decisions will be ever evolving.

It is hoped that you and yours are well and able to steer clear of infection with best practices that are known at this time. 

 

 

Whispering Woodlands is not scheduling any additional programs for May at this time, (March 23, 2020) We will be waiting, like everyone, to see where life is at with COVID 19.

In this class, we will investigate and incorporate

the underpinnings of the hidden laws of nature,

sacred geometry - exploring these forms and

synthesizing the linear with the artistic

aspect of pattern and beauty. 

 

Step by step we'll design a template

from which to springboard to create

a portfolio of our own unique expression.

 

A compass, straight edge and a variety

of tools for writing and calculating forms

will be paired with graphite, ink and watercolor.

 

Music, meditation, sound and silence

will accompany us as we wead our way

through a series of exercises exploring

the tempo and voice of our unique line

- story, script, gesture and mark -

developing flow - letting go of the familiar

long enough to greet the unexpected.
