At PAINTING FROM THE HEART classes  process, through the medium of expressive arts intuitive painting, you are provided with an environment of encouragement that awakens your artist’s soul and challenges you to become a spiritual adventurer journeying to your own creative source.

Exercising your creativity without concern for the results, develops greater trust in your intuition, expands your sense of freedom and possibility, and gives you a way to fearlessly explore unknown aspects of yourself.

In this form of intuitive painting  you will not be learning the techniques of painting, but what you will gain goes much deeper than that. In opening to this expressive arts process you learn how to deal more effectively and courageously with your inner critic, to move through the obstacles of emptiness, fear and boredom and to heal those secret places inside that have armored themselves against their longing for expression.

You will re-ignite your natural childlike passion and enthusiastic impulse to try new things, experiment, make mistakes, make things up — in other words you will awaken your sense of creative audacity and wonder using paint, brushes and paper.

When you paint with no concern for the outcome you feed that place inside that is hungry to create for the simple joy of expression without having to achieve or accomplish anything.

And finally, intuitive painting can transform not only your relationship to creative blocks around artistic expression but also transform those attitudes and habits that keep you from meeting with imagination and courage the challenges of your daily life.

Intuitive painting is the miracle of learning to love and celebrate every part of your Self.

It’s the miracle of staying true to all of who you are. Always.

It is the miracle of making the commitment to taking responsibility for becoming the creator of your own life!

There are many places where you can go to learn to make art. But here is where you can experience what it means to make magic. To become part of a community of other wildly courageous creatives.  To become a raging creative force. Too be willing to become too much. Too big. Too intense. Too alive. Too resourced and empowered and fulfilled.  To become a joyful being of wholeness. To become a radical creative revolutionary of love!

To become the you that you were always meant to be.

 

These classes are appropriate for all levels of painting experience. People come who have never picked up a brush and who have told themselves “I’m not creative” or “I can’t paint,” only to find their inner painter alive and well.

Experienced artists with years of training can also benefit from this intuitive painting approach when they find themselves mired in a creative block or have lost their passion for painting.
