INTUITIVE PAINTING

Intuitive Painting is a somatic practice that merges creativity with emotional healing. Here’s how it works:

  • Connect to Your Body and Mind
    Let your intuition and movements guide your creative process, bypassing perfection and focusing on authenticity and presence.

  • Process and Release Emotional Energy
    Use colors, textures, and forms to translate emotions into visual expressions, releasing what’s been stuck. The “process” here holds dual meaning. It’s about engaging deeply with the creative act itself, free of judgment or focus on the end result. It’s also about emotional processing, supporting participants as they work through their inner landscapes with art as their guide.

  • Rediscover Joy
    Through each session, participants often describe feeling lighter, freer, and more inspired. Art becomes a bridge to their inner world and a path forward.
