NEW PFTS WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

PAINTING FROM THE SOURCE: AN INNER QUEST THROUGH CREATIVE EXPRESSION
Come, venture in, apply paint to paper as a Path to radical breakthrough, a path to awakened artist soul, to open heart, to love, to renewed vitality and purpose. Imagine staying in one single painting that can be multi layered, can shrink and grow, for 5 days! How can this be possible? Certainly, previous painting experience is not an advantage here. Anyone with a willing heart and adventurous spirit can PaintFrom the Source.

Just show up at the empty paper in our safe, sacred, kindergarten painting chapel, available to you and your fellow soul seekers around the clock. Paint vibrant colors, fire orange, midnight black, deep pool blue, all of creamy sensuous child Tempra paint. Paint your heart out. Paint as deep prayer. Paint your worst fears and deepest passion. Paint not for outcome, but to experience “being” in the moment, to fully embody the painting experience.. Paint as if you will burn it, as your yoga, riding your edge, cuddling up to your challenge. Paint till your mind releases judgments, comparisons, interpretations, and personal stories. Paint ugly for beauty, death for rebirth, beauty for grief. Move, dance, scream, cry, growl, clown your painting. Paint till the painting paints you. Speak the Beauty of its authentic unashamed truth.

This is the Indigenous Medicine way. This is living poetic myth. Alter an image from this place, and your body and
dreams are altered. In this setting painters and paintings bond into a united open hearted community where a triumph for one becomes a triumph for all.

PFTS is a deep healing intensive that uses paint and other creative modalities as a vehicle to go deep into the collective source of all creation and healing, similar to Carl Jung’s process of “Active Imagination”. It is not a painting class. But the subsequent authentic beauty far surpasses any painting class. For success and the necessary solid safe container, this workshop requires a commitment to an extended schedule, retreat from outside distractions, abstain from over stimulating substances, stay present with possible strong emotions in self and others, and to reading and following preparation guidelines that will be sent to you upon registration.
