I am a nurse, an artist, and I created a modality for kids called Life Weaving. Here, I guide kids to weave together the different threads of their creativity to create a support system for themselves. When our creative spirit is woven together it is like a web that holds us, gives us strength, confidence and a sense of belonging in life.
Hi! I’m Alex—
Over the last decade working as a nurse, I began to see how when we become disconnected from our creative spirit and imagination the body can become sick. By strengthening our creative spirit and imagination as children, we are working with preventative energy medicine (learn more here).
For the last 4 years I have been working with children through art, movement, and sound to connect to our creative spirit and shine. I studied under the healer Deborah Hanekamp aka Mama Medicine - learning how to work with the elements of nature to be our own healers and connecting to our original essence through her intensive apprenticeship. The last four summers I have facilitated the Children’s Element Retreat at Deborahs Element Retreat In Northern Italy. During this week we teach kids how to connect to the elements, weave their light, create an art show and feel the magic of friendship.
My mission is to share the magic of innocence with the world through kids’ creativity. Inspired by the amazing ideas, visions and imaginations I have seen in kids, I opened The Rainbow Weavers in 2024 in Welfleet on Cape Cod. The art we make at the Rainbow Weavers comes from the unique creative nature of each child. Everything they learn at camp is meant to help them use their creativity and magic to thrive in the world! Kids learn how to create an art show and design every step of the process through working together. The art we create at camp during the week is showcased in our book- The Rainbow Weavers Gallery in Print at the end of the year!
Stop by and say hi :)
In colors,
Alex Copp
