Wanderful Mysteries: Make Magical Objects From Nature
A Community Collaborative Ecoart Project
J.J. Levine’s Wanderful Mysteries is a workshop exploring creative collaboration with the natural world. Workshop participants connect with Nature while learning about and engaging in creative collaboration, artistic creation and most of all fun! Through the process of creating art from Nature, Magic Wands are made.
Time is spent in a local natural area gathering fallen bits and pieces to assemble into a creation of the participant’s choice that speaks to them of magic. Art and craft materials ranging from paint to thread are supplied to bring life to make art in creative collaboration with found natural materials such as branches, driftwood, rocks, bark, leaves- whatever is there in the environment that speaks to the creator within.
JJ is available for individual or group workshops

Comments from participants:
I liked spending time, in nature, doing art with my boys. I like that they were intrigued and involved by the process. I think your calm, direct, open manner was inviting for everyone of all ages.

I loved the light and easy spirit in which this workshop was offered. I felt invited to join in, and was given space to do the activity my own way - there was no pressure for things to be a certain way. JJ offered the invitation then held the space for whatever wanted to happen.

We loved making things using our imagination and feelings and our room now smells so good with the scents of forest and eucalyptus. So good! I enjoyed being in contact with nature, in an open space, just doing what comes to me vs. what is expected of me, creating something with my hands, having something that I can touch and take home with me, being in a group but still be able to work independently, the eclectic mix of people with a common purpose, the opportunity to share the thought and meaning of the piece with everyone and also your probing questions about it!

I enjoyed being in nature and being able to be focused on the environment we were in. Also being able to be with other people and sharing a common spiritual experience while still realizing an individual experience. I thank you for your passion, your imagination and your willingness to step forth bravely into the mystery. I trust that the magic made today shall service you into the future, bringing further magic, insight and rewards. (Rewards in this instance refers to the Magic Wands, Power Objects, Mystery Vessels, and other manifestations that Nature gifted unto you to Magically Artify!)
-R.B., San Francisco
