Intuitive painting is a powerful spiritual and creative practice designed to connect people with their intuition, and inner guidance. Utilizing hypnosis and guided imagery, intuitive painting provides us the opportunity to explore the inner self through creative processes in a safe, critic free environment. It is not a painting technique or method. The main premise of intuitive painting is to tune in to your own unique creative process as we release attachments to meaning, control, expertise or final product. This approach to painting is focused on mindfulness, creative permission and the act of spontaneous expression. There is no prior painting or intuitive experience necessary.
In an intuitive painting class, participants paint in a silent, safe, confidential and judgment-free space, with relaxing music in the background. Here we are invited to simply be with ourselves, much like a meditation. All painting materials are supplied so as not to inhibit the painting process. Classes begin with hypnotherapy and guided meditation to help the students drop into their subconscious to center and align with their authentic self. Participants will have the opportunity to check in before and after class, expressing anything that is coming up for them as a result of their experience. Participants are invited to journal before, during or after their painting process as writing can often integrate, clarify and ground their work. This is a transformational experience as we reconnect with our center.
