Sculpture Classes for Healing

Find your joy and heal your soul by freeing the artist within!

I am Rosalie Levi, Artist/Sculptor, and I want to help. I offer sculpture workshops to men and women in need of healing due to health issues, and help them in their search of finding a new meaning to life.

We don’t plan for cancer, sickness or injuries in ourselves or our family /friends. Often these experiences catch us by surprise and can dramatically change our lives. When they do, we need to find a new way of finding our joy.

I would like to be able to offer workshops, free of charge, to families and individuals dealing with cancer and related health issues, through the support organizations that help them.

I'm looking for funds to help cover the costs of 18 people taking the workshop.  All the money raised will go towards the products, materials and other expenses related to running these workshops from my atelier in the country. It is my passion to give these people the experience of creating something from nothing, and having it last lifetimes. I want to empower them by freeing the artist within, even in those who never imagined being capable or able to create a sculpture. The workshops are suitable for young adults to seniors, no experience is required to create their own sculpture. My goal is to help these people on the road to personal healing, and to see life in a more positive and hopeful light.

Why now?j

April 24, 2016 is International Sculpture Day. I want to bring more awareness to this amazing expression of self, that most people feel is unattainable for themselves. These workshops show that everyone is an artist in their own way, and I can guide them through simple process of creation.

Why is Healing Through Sculpture so beneficial?

Healing Through Sculpture can show you that life can be more, and possibly better. It can help you take back some control of your life by boosting the healing process.

When we create art, we make something that did not exist before. You do not need to be creative to participate, only a desire to learn and enjoy the experience. Many are afraid that since they aren’t very good at something, there is no point and they won’t get any benefit from doing it. But, for everyone, creative expression can benefit your brain and mental health to lower your stress levels, and make you a happier, healthier person.

Creating art provides a distraction, giving your brain a break from your usual thoughts. The average person has 60,000 thoughts per day and 95% of them are exactly the same day in, day out!  When you get totally immersed in a creative endeavor, you may find yourself in what’s known as “the zone”. This meditative-like state focuses your mind and temporarily pushes aside all your worries, leaving you feeling mentally clear and calm.

Thank you in advance for your support!!
Help make each day a little bit brighter.
