I will be teaching my Harmonia Practice Workshop at the Expressive Arts Summit
in Los Angeles
Sponsored by Expressive Media and UCLA Arts & Healing Program

I will be facilitating a Harmonia Practice Evening Workshop called:
The Art of Consciousness An empowering, Integrative, and Contemplative Mandala Making Workshop
About:
The Harmonia Practice is a method of inner transformation, expression, discovery, self care, and empowerment. This experiential workshop will enhance one's work as a clinician and can be used with clients of all ages and abilities. In the practice we incorporate a matrix of multi sensory practices and expressive arts modalities into one potent transformative Mandala making practice. We holistically weave together breath work, simple yoga, tapping, chakra work, archetypes, creative writing, meditation, creative visualization, doTerra therapeutic grade essential oils, Mandala art making, and witnessing to harmonize one’s mind, body, and soul. As well as the weaving of these potent modalities will aid the participants in developing a practice of being in the present moment through your breath and it will allow one to become a channel or conduit for ones Higher Creative Self. Rekindling that creation, compassion, joy, art, beauty and play are all natural states of being. Making art is intrinsic to all of our wellness, our emotional healing, and personal growth. Additionally each participant will create an intuitive mandala and they will be given the tools to discover how Art is a sacred process whereby it can become your one’s greatest teacher and healer.

Lisa Rasmussen MFA is the Founder and Director of the Harmonia Institute. Lisa Rasmussen—artist, educator, curator, life coach, arts and healing practitioner, and art advocate—believes art can change and heal the world.

Lisa is the Co-Founder and Practitioner of Artemis Sacred Journeys. Which women's empowerment retreats to Tinos Greece. Rasmussen also served as Executive Director and Co-Founder of Art 4 All People and AY Atelier Art, an international Center for arts and consciousness in Malibu, CA. She is also Co-Founder/Co-Director of the non-profit, Art is Moving and International Art Break Day, an annual community arts event that has been held in the U.S., India, Mexico, and West Africa.

Rasmussen is an award-winning professional painter, who has been represented in galleries in both San Francisco and Los Angeles. As well as Lisa’s work has been in numerous solo and group exhibits and publications. For her painting is a very visceral, physical, and metaphysical process. Rasmussen’s paintings have been called abstract expressionism, with a spiritual twist. Her paintings reflect her holistic worldview and her deep connection with the natural world. For Rasmussen, art making is a transcendental experience. When she paints, Rasmussen taps into a force greater than herself; a force that creates through her. Each painting is a product of her dance with divinity. Through her process she hopes to invoke in herself and the viewer a deeper connection to the world within and around us through reflection and inspiration. Early on Lisa developed a thirst for travel and distant cultures. A key conceptual element of her artistic process is the study and travel to ancient cultures and sacred sites around the world. Some of her travel adventures include Nepal, Greece, Egypt, Peru, Ireland, and Brazil. She has also lived and taught English in the mountains of South, China, as well as she had studied antiquities, the Art of the Renaissance, and Ceramics in Florence, Italy.

Rasmussen is also known as a pioneering and passionate arts educator. For many years, she has taught art to residents of under-served, at-risk communities. In 2006, she created the Transformative Art Program at a mental health institute in Oakland, CA for emotionally traumatized youth, ages 5-14. Her art therapy program to create public youth art installations and gallery exhibits garnered awards, grants and media attention.

Rasmussen worked as a fine arts consultant at the prestigious Merrill Chase Gallery in Chicago and The Weinstein Gallery in San Francisco. She also managed The Red Door Gallery & Collective, a grassroots art-reach gallery in Oakland, CA. Rasmussen earned her BA in Sculpture and Ceramics and her MFA in Arts and Consciousness from John F. Kennedy University in Berkeley, CA. She earned several academic awards, including Graduate Student of the Year, in 2008, and Alumni of the Year, in 2013.
