My interest is in: Touch Drawing Personal Use, Facilitating Touch Drawing, Facilitating SoulCards

What brings you to an interest in Touch Drawing or SoulCards?: Touch Drawing came to me on my last day in art school in 1974. It was an ecstatic, revelatory and playful experience. At the same time, I had a deep knowing that this process was an emergent art form that would meet the needs of the human soul in times to come. I have been spreading the seeds of Touch Drawing ever since.

My experience applies to:: Therapy, Art, Creativity, Education, Social Work, Spiritual, Intuitive, Children, Teens, Aging, Health, Abuse, Childbirth, Hospice, Grief, Parkinsons, Occupational Therapy, Hospital, Meditation, Family, Cancer, Expressive Arts, Creative Art Therapy, Organizational

Other areas of interest & experience: Any ways that people find to use it! I love to collect your stories for my e-newsletter, website and slide presentations. You can send your stories and pictures to center@touchdrawing.com.

Home from the Gathering

It is Saturday around 11 am. I just said my last goodbyes to heather and Shemaya, who stayed here last night. The Gathering have generated my healing and joy - So many dimemsions of interweaving, of people gifting one another that it is imossible tell the story of what happened. I think that a new, stronger sense of ongoingness is being woven through the circle. On our final morning, people gatherin pairs or small groups to talk about how they wanted to bring home the energy/lessons/commitments.… Continue

At 7:35pm on August 13th, 2008, Lori Wada said…: Aloha Deborah, I am very new to this process and I have never used these types of art materials before, so it is all a very new experience. Thank you for making everything so available. It has been a big help having the manual to study and all the materials to begin experimenting with it on my own. I would now like to turn my energy in the direction of sharing it with others I have thought about the many different possibilites, but I need to start with one area of focus first, if you have any suggestions it is appreciated. I look forward to learning more from you...Mahalo, Lori

At 3:28pm on August 8th, 2008, Angela Raincatcher said…: Deborah, thank you for the kind welcome. I am very excited about Touch Drawing and already saving my money to come to next summer's gathering.

At 10:40am on August 6th, 2008, Pete Peterson said…: I like Silver. More distinguished, I think. I absolutely loved the picture albums. I feel so much closer to the Gathering. You did an amazing job! The Community is the culmination of so many dreams and holding the belief that this is so much bigger than we ever realized. Congrats....

At 10:27am on August 6th, 2008, Pete Peterson said…: Yeah, you are right. I'm grey these days, but not that grey. I will get a picture on here as soon as I can. Thanks for the reminder
