SUMMARY:10-12:00 PM   Barb Kobe Endangered Feelings Adult Workshop    $5
DESCRIPTION:Barb Kobe   Project Description  – Topic: Emotional Nature – Embodied Knowing – Empathetic Connection\nMaking art and healing dolls has helped me to express my feelings\, trust my body\, mind and spirit and develop an intuitive and empathetic connection with myself\, nature and others human beings.Published book : The Healing Doll Way\nA Guided Process Creating Art Dolls for Self-Discovery\, Awareness\, and TransformationEight art and healing dolls will express emotion and use metaphors of the natural world\, symbol and story to embellish and express feelings. These “dolls” will invite the viewers to reflect on their own emotions and feeling expressions\, and perhaps create a dialog with others about how emotional art elicits an empathetic response.Making healing dolls will bring out feelings—often ones you think you’ve hidden or stuffed. When I show one of my dolls that symbolizes a deep healing process about anger\, sadness\, or fear\, the person viewing it will often say “it’s too scary or ugly. Often I hear\, “Is that a voodoo doll?” or “Why would you make such an ugly doll?” Despite these first responses\, most people are still drawn to dolls made from the creator’s deep emotional regions. They want to hear the stories and meanings of the dolls.It is my continuing quest to find innovative artmaking ways to create change in myself and others—from a state of pain\, numbness\, and disease\, to one of well-being\, continuous growth\, and healing. My ultimate goal is that the viewer and the maker entertain the possibility that making healing and transformative dolls can create positive change and help in dealing with pain\, struggle\, uncomfortable feelings\, and or life challenges. This process can be an opportunity to learn more about yourself\, grow in your wisdom\, connect with your intuition and transform an aspect of your life. \nTopic Expert– Pat Samples\nOur bodies are where our stories live and our aliveness resides\, longing to be expressed. I support people in allowing their bodies to reveal these stories by unveiling what’s alive in them. I offer them open-hearted attention\, permission to move from their internal impulses\, and a non-anxious\, witnessing presence. My services included one-on-one sessions\, creative movement sessions called Free Motion\, and workshops\, called Essential Motion\, that enrich body awareness and aliveness through mindful attention and movement. I have studied Essential Motion with founder Karen Roeper for 13 years and led weekly Free Motion sessions for 15 years. I have given talks and workshops on body awareness topics across the U.S.  and am the author of Body Odyssey: Lessons from the Bones and Belly and The Secret Wisdom of a Woman’s Body: Freeing Yourself to Live Passionately and Age Fearlessly. \nI am also an avid champion for creative aging. Research shows that we all have a burst of artistic impulses in our older years and an urgent drive to tell our important stories. From my first job in a nursing home while I was in college to my current work serving senior living communities across the metropolitan area\, I’ve seen firsthand how this creative burst\, when guided by skilled teaching artists\, transforms lives. The stories\, resilience and creative capacities of older people come to life! Topic Expert\, Minneapolis\, Minnesota \nWorkshop – Feelings Friendly:  For all ages\n \nWhat’s Your Issue\nOctober 4-14\, 2018\nSquirrel Haus Arts\nSouth Minneapolis \nBarb Kobe\nEndangered Feelings\nOctober 13\, 2018\n10:00 am to noon\nLibrary \nCome spend 2 hours playing with emotions and feelings.\nMeet Barb’s feeling tools: Endangered Feelings puppets\nand feeling dolls\, “Numbfull and the Fulls”.

She has a BA in Psychology with an emphasis in expressive arts\, as well as\, a Practioner Certification in Neuro Linguistic Programming. She is trained as an ARTbundance Creativity Coach and a Licensed Journey Path Facilitator. \nBarb Kobe is a Minnesota one-of-a-kind art and healing doll artist. She was a very sensitive child who found great comfort making art and playing with dolls. When she had children of her own she learned about emotional intelligence as she taught her children about their feelings. She developed and manufactured a set of puppets that helped in the expression of feelings. While making them she noticed that as she would think about that feeling\, where she felt it in her body and notice where she was expressing it in her life. \n  \n \nShe shared her creations with over one thousand children in elementary schools and learned that “when I hold a feeling doll in my hand or lap\, in other words\, outside of my body\, the children would easily share a feeling story”.  Barb transferred this awareness to her own personal feeling\, and healing dolls and has been making her emotional dolls ever since. Emotions and healing are her primary sources of inspiration and drive her doll and figurative art. She says\, “My dolls are figurative sculpture and emotional metaphors that express feelings\, beliefs and connections to body\, mind and spirit.  Sometimes I begin with a feeling\, a struggle\, or a wish to visualize some internal and invisible energy.  I do this to visually speak to it and to develop a relationship with a hidden aspect of myself.  At other times I simply delight in the playing with the materials\, colors and shapes\, seeing what comes from immersing myself in the creative process.  All of my dolls mirror some aspect of hidden personal beliefs and stories.” \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:1-5:00    Wesley May – Identity Workshop – Library   $5
DESCRIPTION:_______________________________________________________________________________________Project Description:  Wesley May  Topic: Identity \nAt these exhibitions\, I demonstrate\, with all the care and concern of love\, my craft and technique and explain how it shows in each brush stroke. I speak of how we approach a blank canvas\, is similar to how we approach life\, either we step up and just do it\, or we stop\, hesitate not wanting to make a mistake. As we move through a painting\, what we thought might have been mistakes disappear as we continue to work on the painting\, and the more beautiful the paintings become\, the same with life\, what we thought were mistakes\, we can fix them and move on\, and the more beautiful people we become. I feel that sharing truths while creating images is visually expressing that which is in the heart and creates an experience of art with resounding ripples. I am spiritually grounded\, I walk my talk\, and I lead by example. \nWorkshop:  \nWorkshop: Join me in exploring your identity as we discover who we are by collaboratively creating an 8 X 10 foot mural in a 4 hour workshop.  I guide you through identifying your beliefs so you can understand who we are. Limit 10.  All Ages. Mural will be auctioned for the benefit of ACW.  Installation at the location of your choice. \nExpert Voice:\nDaniel May is a 22 year old from the Red Lake Chippewa tribe  and is a long time associate who has used the strategies developed by Wesley May to overcome  obstacles in his life. He will share his youth voice story with participants as part of the workshop. \n  \nBiography\nI am a Native American from the Red Lake Indian Reservation in northern Minnesota and a First Peoples Fund artist. I believe that an artist’s role in the community is to bring awareness of the voices that are rarely heard\, not to lead the charge of any cause\, but to unleash the potential of others through art. I travel around to art shows\, powwows\, and other community events and empower others through Live Exhibition paintings. Expressing truths as the paintings are created. I encourage children\, youth\, adults\, and elders to share with me\, their knowledge of art\, to become part of a kindred energy in the creation of each piece. Bringing awareness of art in our lives from the first brushstroke\, to building confidence in those that choose to include their voice. \n  \nUsing Creator given talents to serve others\, I demonstrate the simplicity of life through paint\, utilizing the four colors of the medicine wheel as my starting point\, where our roots grow\, to swirl outward to be more inclusive of all races\, all emotions\, and all parts of being.  As Anishinabe we have always been inclusive and non-judgmental\, always encouraging and doing our best. This is the way I live\, the way I paint\, the way I use my talent to serve people and the Creator.
