Drawing as a Sacred Activity

"The most creative act you will ever undertake is the act of creating yourself."  ~  Deepak Chopra

"Where the Spirit does not work with the hand - there is no art."   ~  Leonardo da Vinci

 

Heather C. Williams, loves to share with her students the 5 KEYS to Observational Drawing that she learned in her 5 year Art Apprenticeship with Norwegian Master Artist - Jan Valentin Saether.  Heather is an Ontological Artist. (Ontology is the study of "Being".) An Ontological Artist is anyone who opens their heart, feels the Presence of their Soul, asks a question and draws out an expression. It may take the form of a drawing, a song, a dance, a painting, a poem, a sculpture. It may also open the doorway to a new chapter in life. Every human being has the ability to activate their innate creativity. Today technology is advancing very rapidly and corporate advertising is constantly grabbing our attention. Our attention is our most valuable asset. It is time now for us human beings to take charge of our attention and to wake up to our INNATE SELF which is SOUL, LOVE, CONSCIOUSNESS.  The good news is that in the practice of drawing you begin to take charge of your attention!

I am Heather C. Williams, author of the book Drawing as a Sacred Activity.  I was an Art and Special Education teacher with the Vista Unified School District for 18 years working with middle and high school students. I also taught drawing to university students, to people in jail, to homeless people, to people with manic depression, traumatic brain injury, to people in recovery from drugs and alcohol. For ten years, I traveled around the world with Louise Hay offering my drawing exercises for her Int'l Teacher Trainings. Drawing a line on paper or on a wall or on the ground or on the sand is an ancient human activity. 

 

We each are unique human beings born with a creative seed deep within our Heart and Soul. Drawing can help you to activate this seed, take charge of your attention and live your life purpose. 

 

Holding a pencil and drawing what you see connects your unique sense of touch with your unique sense of seeing. Also, our outer world is, in truth, an expression of our Inner world. Drawing is a safe, effective and very ancient way to consciously connect “outer and inner.”

NOW - ENJOY READING A FEW STUDENT COMMENTS:

I’m so thankful for the gift of your teachings in my life, I am able to navigate deep emotions much better because I practice your drawing exercises. You made my existence easier and helped me understand and heal myself so many times through your book.   ~  Mariana

 

Your class is unique and beautiful. It meant a great deal to me and I shall continue drawing with my non dominant hand and discovering things that are in my sub conscious and in my heart and soul and bringing them to the forefront. Your book is beautifully written and a treasure.  ~  Gail

 

“I really enjoy your classes. It's not just drawing. It's a way of life.”   ~ Helen

 

Thank you for your wonderful drawing classes.  It's true they are so much more than drawing in the sense of the word but more of drawing out and connecting emotion - something that has been untapped in me. I felt so close to my father yesterday and it felt so good. I will be an on-going participant in your classes!  ~ Julia

 

"First off, I learned the power of drawing with the non-dominant hand. I also appreciated being able to see how drawing can be a tool for self-discovery. The exercises that you offered are all ways of tapping further into our deep intuition - like stream-of-consciousness style writing. But drawing taps into yet another side of us — like another gateway into our deep knowing. Beyond that, you have helped me greatly break through my fear of drawing — so that now it has become something I enjoy and want to keep exploring.  Thank you for everything, I look forward to learning more from you!   ~  Sally
