Where presence meets process, and creativity becomes meditation
Wingston Sharon Wilson | Creative Coding & Technology
From product to process, judgment to presence
Art-making as contemplative inquiry
Six sessions toward creative freedom
Sustainable practice for healing & expression
"For many of us, the creative process has become colonized by goals, judgment, and the pressure to produce portfolio-worthy outcomes."
📊 Goals over flow — "Is this good enough?"
⚖️ Judgment over joy — Comparing, criticizing, constraining
🎯 Product over process — Art as achievement, not inquiry
😰 Fear over freedom — "I'm not creative" / "I can't do art"
Beginning with presence
Following the body's wisdom
Releasing perfectionism
Being truly seen
The practice of receiving another's creative process without judgment
Each session begins with sitting practice—not as preparation for art-making, but as the ground of creative practice itself.
Anchoring in the natural rhythm of inhale and exhale
Cultivating self-compassion to soften the inner critic
We explore diverse materials—each offering unique lessons about control, surrender, and expression.
Flow, spontaneity, happy accidents
Grounding, tactile presence
Assembling fragments into wholes
Body wisdom, authentic expression
Improvisation beyond words
Witness to inner experience
Each medium teaches us something different about letting go
"The hand knows what the thinking mind doesn't."
There's no way to do this wrong—only ways to be here now
Full attention without fixing, advising, or interpreting
Receiving another's experience without judgment
What's shared in the circle stays in the circle
No pressure to speak—silence is honored
"Being truly seen in our creative process—without evaluation—is profoundly healing."
Settle into present-moment awareness, grounding breath work, body scan
Brief teaching on session focus (shadow work, emotions, somatic wisdom)
We always begin by arriving fully in the present moment
Intuitive art-making with chosen materials—following the body's wisdom
Optional sharing of process (not product) with compassionate listening
Brief journaling, gratitude practice, gentle transition back
Most time devoted to actual creative exploration
"I used to be creative, but now I'm stuck / scared / empty"
Perfect! No art experience needed—just willingness to try
Moving contemplative practice off the cushion
Therapists, coaches, educators needing sustainable self-care
Gentle, non-verbal modality for processing experience without re-traumatization
Reconnecting with process over product, play over perfection, joy over judgment
"The only requirement is showing up with curiosity and willingness to explore."
Sustainable, judgment-free art-making you can return to daily
Trust body wisdom and spontaneous creative impulses
Work with shadow, grief, joy through expressive arts
Safe relationship with "mistakes" and unexpected outcomes
Connections with others on similar creative-contemplative journeys
Not the goal, but the beautiful byproduct of engaged process
"I came thinking I 'couldn't do art' and left with a practice that's become essential to my mental health. This workshop unlocked something I didn't know was there."
— Jordan L., Software Engineer
"As a therapist, I needed this for myself—but I'm also bringing these practices to my clients. The gentleness and safety of this approach is profound."
— Dr. Maya K., Psychotherapist
"I've been a professional artist for 20 years, but somewhere I lost the joy. This workshop brought me back to why I started—pure presence with materials."
— Alex M., Visual Artist

"This is art as inquiry, healing, and return to the unselfconscious creativity we knew as children—now held in adult awareness."
