Embody
By Jaclyn Martinez
Hi Creator,
I am so happy you are here.
Embody, is a deep, inspiring mask making workshop.
This workshop is designed for you, to connect with your creative power and uncover your inner Warrior/Healer. This character already lives within you and is beckoning to be heard. It is the one who knows how to heal you, soothe you and knows how to conquer your fears. By turning inward, we will discover parts of your guiding mythology and access your deepest wisdom.
If you are here, you are probably like me; you love to understand yourself a little deeper, you want to grow and are always on a path to step into your highest TRUTH and POWER. Maybe you are at a place where you feel like you could know more about your guiding mythology and you want the tools to help you tap into the essence of who YOU truly are. I’m here to help!
Why mask making?
Masks have been used by our ancestor in ritual, for healing, and transformation. They are conduits of the subconscious into the conscious mind. The creation of a mask is a sacred practice that helps to create dialogue with yourself. You are alchemizing self forward into actualization by finding identity in your creation. There is a tangible shift that happens when you create something from a greater understanding of the ways you operate in the world. It allows expansion and growth to be manifested in the here and now.

I honestly learned so much about myself and what it takes to truly get introspective. Jaclyn guiding the meditations and visualizations was a perfect transition into letting your mind just open up. After some guiding, I was able to see where I put walls up, where I hide my true self, where I try to paint a certain perspective of myself to show others, and how I can begin to take down these barriers. Jaclyn’s very honest, and also extremely supportive!!

Jaclyn did outstanding, and has really created something incredibly special and something many of us desperately need. She's very caring and understanding and open with everyone in the group. Jaclyn comes at everyone with a very open and honest heart, no BS or barriers. I'd recommend this workshop to anyone who has any kind of past trauma or just wanting to better understand who you "the real you" wants to be and not who you think you need to be. This course really has you asking yourself the hard questions, while also facing them them from an honest and true state.

I learned new techniques on how to discover different aspects of myself. It’s exciting to be able to see myself and the archetypes of myself in this creative way. It’s strengthening and inspires curiosity to dig deeper. This course was about our healer/warrior archetype. I was surprised and delighted with how mine revealed itself. Jaclyn’s passion for narrative and creativity really helped guide this experience in an enlightening way. I’m excited to share this course with others and to do it again with perhaps different archetypes.

How it works
The first workshop (October 8th 10:30-12:30) is all about understanding personal mythology, finding your prevailing myths around creativity. We will explore the use of personal myth making, participate in visual meditations, breath and embodiment practices and journaling. This session will open our creative minds, find where we may hold back our creative spirit and prepare our spirit bodies for the following class.
The second workshop (October 15th 10:30-12:30) is focused on the essence of our being, alchemizing the character in our minds into creative action. Together, we will dive deep into the Warrior/Healer spirit and help each other create this powerful version of ourselves. We will use plaster to make a mold of each others faces so that you can have a base for the mask that you will be decorating at home.
The third workshop (October 22nd 10:30-12:30) will be our creation workshop! We will deepen our connection to our masks by decorating them. We will discover new ways of incorporating our mask in our discovery of the self.
The fourth work shop (October 29 10:30-12:30): We will finish our masks.
