Art Can Make A Difference
Art takes on many forms, often imitating life.
Whether life's moments are great, good, bad, painful or indifferent...
Art is an outlet, a positive way in which we can make emotions tangible.
Whether an outlet takes on a form of art, or not: exercising, breathing, cleaning, working, talking, painting, acting, dancing, singing...outlets are necessary for emotional release. When you do not have a healthy outlet for your feelings or emotions, healing and personal growth is nearly impossible and can lead to living with pain, settling for less or making destructive life choices.
The most common and possibly the most important outlet, is talking. Yet, this is not always the outlet of choice.
It can be hard to express or even understand what you want to say, especially if you have not been taught how to communicate in a constructive way; if you don't feel safe in your environment to express yourself; or...if you or someone else...has been denying you certain truths.

An artistic outlet has proven to be a great alternative option to release what you, or your words, cannot say. Over time one or more art forms can help you
learn to communicate, let go of what troubles you and move forward with a deeper understanding of who you are and what you want out of life.
Knowing this, CJ Harlan and The Harlan Circle have a vision to bring the "ART Within You" and your life's passion out. How?...By offering ART as a form of healing to it's members who seek support, guidance, and coaching, through more interesting and fun alternative methods.
The Harlan Circle's "Art That Makes A Difference" Program was created to achieve all of this and more. Another very important part of CJ's vision (with the help of this program)...is to make healing more affordable. Through membership support, harlan circle classes and the efforts of the HC Empowering Artist Collective (EAC), more people will be able to receive the guidance and support they need.

There Is An Artist In Anyone
"People have told me that they do not have an artistic bone in their body and could never 'Do' art.
I beg to differ...Art is not something you do...it is something you feel. This creates your own unique distinction that can be an inspiration to you and to others...Given the right teacher, anyone can learn how to use tools and apply techniques. What sets one artist apart from another is how well they can express their feelings through their medium of choice. Taking time to find your medium and working with people who know how to bring the 'ART Within You' out, is all anyone needs to become an artist that can be acknowledged and celebrated." CJ Harlan
Learning how to let yourself and your emotions go by putting a part of you into a creation, is as freeing as it is empowering. This is something you can experience through CJ's "Art That Makes A Difference" Program.
To help you find your inner artist, The Harlan Circle's Empowering Artist Collective (EAC), works together with CJ Harlan to teach you different art forms. Together, they introduce you to new ways in which to release stress, anger and pain, all while empowering you to explore and celebrate new aspects of yourself and your life. As you learn to create, you will come to understand just how art therapy works. This method of empowerment is certainly a more enjoyable way to build awareness, strength and clarity.

Inspiration Creates Distinction
Inspirations often come from a person, a group of people, a memory, an image, a sound, a smell, or a few words. Some positive, some negative. Whatever the reason for your inspiration, artists always seems to put a piece of themselves into their work. That personal investment is often referred to as an artist's style, brand or signature.
This distinct touch, is what sets one artist apart from another, who may work in the same medium. As each artist infuses their work with their own experience, vision and passion, this distinction is what can truly grab your attention and make a difference in how you may view their art. You may be inspired to see things from another perspective, to enjoy the meaning behind someone else's vision and as a result learn how to make any piece of art, in one way or another, your own. When ART moves you in this way, to feel and explore your own existence, it truly can make a difference.
