Often in yoga class, we’re invited to tune in to what’s happening inside ourselves. Awaken Creative Flow is a self-inquiry workshop that takes this invitation a beautiful step further.

Whether you consider yourself creative or not, it will show you how easy it is to tune out the external world in order to connect with what’s within. 

Here’s how.

Allie Lyon, who created this workshop just for the festival family, is a teacher of meditation and nidra, but also an abstract expressionist artist. The workshop mirrors her own painting process.

The workshop starts with a short 30-minute movement and breath practice, followed by guided meditation. After the meditation, you’ll create on paper what appeared to you in the meditation. Truly art and flow in one. Allie will bring markers and watercolors, but you’re invited to bring your own notebook, journal, or even artist paper and supplies for your own personal masterpiece.

Tune out the world and tune in to the beauty within – and create something that truly represents your own beautiful inner world.

Praise for Allie

Allie is an amazing teacher and has such a beautiful way of holding space, guiding everyone through the meditation in a way that always feels safe, grounding, and deeply restful. Highly recommended!

Allie’s meditations are so powerful and inspiring. I was able to really feel my body relax, and see colors in my mind that I’d never tapped into before. I was so inspired to sit down and create afterward. Thank you!
