Workshops
I facilitate one-day workshops in Intuitive Painting. This is a safe and fun space for you to explore freely with paint and paper. No comments or critiques (including your own!) allowed. No previous experience necessary. All materials are provided.
From October, I will run an on-going group weekly for 6 weeks.
Comments from previous workshop participants….
“Thank you for a wonderful workshop. Your gentle prompts and intuitive questions were so insightful. It was very freeing to be able to paint in such a way, with no expectations or inner criticisms, and just enjoy the process of letting the hand guide the brush”
“It was a lovely feeling to give that gift of permission to myself, and letting myself play like a 3 year old again.”
“…a really incredible experience, I felt really fantastic afterwards.”
Exploring your inner world with paint and colour.
Intuitive painting is a moment-by-moment practice of following your intuition, or inner nudge, to choose a colour, and allowing yourself to paint whatever comes in the moment. The practice of following your intuition leads us to see clearly the blocks and limiting beliefs of our conditioned mind, and most powerful is the impact of breaking through those conditioned limits by making marks on paper. Sounds like voodoo, but the healing power of art is well documented and now scientifically measured in the emerging field of Neuroarts and art is widely used in medicine in a range of settings.
The studio is set up to provide quiet safe space for each painter. Beautiful colours are laid out in sequence to minimise mind noise. The big white sheet of paper in your space on the wall is a pregnant void.
Through using paint and a brush on a white sheet of paper, we create a safe situation where total freedom, total possibility is invited, with no judgement, no analysis, no demands for a finished product. We are exploring our inner worlds, the essence of who we are, with the ultimate goal of being totally free inside.
This is a moment by moment process, where we respond to inner nudges for a colour, brush stroke, image that comes only as the brush touches the paper. Our only job is to try stay present in that moment. The connection to intuition strengthens through practice and the painting gives us back an unlimited flow of images from the stream of creativity awakened inside us. It clears out fears, old thinking, old conditioning like a surgery. It creates space for possibilities inside us. It wakes us up to deeper truths about life and its possibilities.
