Krisztina Lazar - Ritual MandalasKrisztina is a visionary artist, ritual performer and healer. Having studied the mische technique with some of the greatest visionary artists of our time, she teaches the technique herself. The mische technique allows an artist to create an image out of highlights and transparent glazes, rather than shadows and outlines. This transforms the world we see into brilliant light and glowing colors that lasts well beyond just working on the canvas. She’s taken this technique and adapted to several forms of healing through the art making process, creating mandalas and magic images that continue to inspire this new way of seeing. Coming from a background of yoga, meditation and visionary journeys, Krisztina combines the teachings from a variety of sources, focusing her energy on awakening the voices of our inner gods and goddesses. Through performance and ritual she channels these energies that live within pop culture and transmutes them into timeless archetypes. Through painting and performance, Krisztina creates a unique visionary world combining myth, storytelling, science, dreams and contemporary culture. She lives and works in Oakland, California with her two parrots and cat who are her constant companions. She is available for private healing art sessions as well as group classes.

Sukey Kielman Briggs -Creative WritingSukey K Briggs was born on the Mojave Desert, an ecosystem of relentless sky and haunting beauty. Her late-'60s college education kicked her into fermenting US unrest and began a writing career: there was a lot to write about; there was a lot being written, ranted, grieved. Ten years after the birth of her son, she garnered degrees in English, studio art, transpersonal psychology, and three CA teaching credentials. These were stepping stones across careers as an English and art teacher, learning specialist and writing circle facilitator in Santa Barbara, copyeditor, graphic artist, and currently as the assistant to a 95-yr-old hotshot xeriscape artist.She lives in the Sierra Nevada foothills in a village without stoplights. Sukey facilitates women's writing circles. She aligns her prompts with the cycles of female life and the rhythm of the natural world. It is her experience that the words we write in circle reveal our hearts and can heal our spirits. She invites you to join a write-of-passage with SSGG women.
