Window to My Soul was a workshop centered on self-reflection through the lens of language, community, and creativity.

In the days leading up to the event, participants were encouraged to engage in a gentle self-inquiry: bringing one word that best described themselves, and gathering three descriptive words from others who know them. These four words became the foundation for the artistic expressions created during the session.

The community gathering began with a grounding ritual of breathwork and meditation, followed by guided reflection. Participants explored the emotional resonance of their four words, how it felt to be seen this way, what colors or symbols emerged, and how their perceptions of self shifted through the eyes of others.

Using various mediums like painting, coloring, and collage, each person created a unique ‘window’ into their soul. Some spoke about the emotional connections tied to certain colors and how those related to the people who described them. Others shared that the experience of asking for words revealed deeper insights, such as recognizing patterns in their relationships or noticing discomfort in stepping beyond familiar circles.

This workshop was a space for vulnerability, connection, and exploration of self-concept. By reflecting on how we see ourselves and how others see us, participants not only created beautiful visual pieces, but also embraced a shared moment of growth, expression, and mutual understanding.
