How can we use

creative expression

to cultivate a

deeper level of

awareness, unity and

social change?

ARTIVISM,

the intersection of

art and activism

that harnesses creativity and imagination to shine light and awareness on social, environmental, and political areas that need resolution and healing.

'Meditative Arts' are healing practices where we express ourselves creatively from a meditative flow state.

What tools can we use

to help foster our creative gifts

in a way that is intentional and authentic to us?

Join us for a deeper exploration of Artivism (Art+Activism) and Meditative Arts.

In this session, we will discuss King’s individual relationship with Artivism, Artivism as a tool for social change that spans various disciplines (including poetry, music, and film), and have an opportunity to engage in a brief Meditative Arts practice together to help us expand our creative tool belt.

SHANITA KING

Shanita King is a visual artist, creative alchemist and architectural designer based in Portland, OR. King began offering Meditative Art sessions as a practice in 2011, for fellow staff members at the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies. This practice began and evolved from their individual spiritual practice and healing journey. Shanita moved to Portland, Oregon a year later and began offering this creative practice throughout the city at various community, yoga and healing spaces. Shanita has also been practicing yoga for over 20 years, completed a 200-hour RYT yoga teacher training, has a certification in Thai Yoga Massage and studied Anatomy in Motion from the SOLA School of Contemplative Arts.

King and their partner Nikki Daskal recently self-published a Meditative Arts Coloring book, “Journey Into Heart”. This book is focused on self-love and is the first of a Meditative Arts Coloring Book series. The second book is near completion, and centered on Sustainable Self-Care for Activist.
