One by one they introduce themselves. at the request of thse teacher with the deli- cate frame and flowing red-gold hair. Hovering curiously around the perimeter are those not yet ready to join thse circle. And that is okay, 100, because in Shar Chamberlain's art therapy clasn, doing what feels right is the only mIle. Classes are held every second Wednesday at thse Naturally Be Wellness Centre in Campbellville. The next class is scheduled for October 13. Participants are welcome 10 come just once, or as many times as they like. The ides is to find healing through movement, music, vîsualizatioti. nature and art. The class is offered because everybody hurts. But they don't have to make a life's work of it. "I feel mostly people want 10 heal," said Ms Chamberlain, sipping water with lemon from a deck overlooking Mill Pond.

The aim is to bring Iight and joy back into life by throwing out miles and inhibi- tions. "We are educated right from kinder- garten," said Ms Chamberlain. "Already society hua set certain miles." And no one has to be an artist to join in. instead Ms Chamberlain's classes can be filed with people who feel that stick fig- uires are a challenge. Which is fine, since creating a master- piece isn't the point. Think of a child who doesn't mind slap- ping gobs of paint on paper, no malter what the resuit is. "Kida don't care if they are better. It is about playing," said Ms Chamberlain. "You can stick your foot in the paint if you want to." Rom and raised in the Toronto area, Ms Chamberlain is an astonishingly versatile artisiwho bas had shows halfway around the globe. Her paintings are somber and majestic or achingly serene by tumrs. Stili others are bold and vibrant pulsing with life. But these are not art tessons she la teach- ing at the Wellness Centre. They are life tessons. And though the classes are spontaneous and light, tears have been known to flow like the Mississippi River. smo, ART on page 12 -ADVERT1SEMEN-- CURIS7NA WDI A» BUR I-ees a n e-matil question I received frose a customer.
