Mantra Hearts Workshop

The word “encourage” is a heart word. It is rooted in the Latin word for heart and means “to make strong, to hearten, to inspire, to fill with hope.” Art (Mantra) Hearts are heart-shaped mini-messages of encouragement, love, and light created by Michelle Lisenbee. They begin as blank pieces of watercolor paper and are lovingly transformed into inspiring messages with paint, stamping, stenciling, collage, and mark making. Prayers and positive thoughts for those who will eventually receive the hearts are infused in every layer. Michelle has been creating Art Hearts for years and has recently felt called to begin sharing the process with others to spread more hope and encouragement in these uncertain times.  The creative process will include a bit of journaling to connect you even more deeply with your own beautiful heart. You will come away with 8-10 completed hearts of your own, each of which will be entirely unique. They are perfect to keep yourself or give as small gifts.
