WEST SESSION

SEPTEMBER 3 - NOVEMBER 5

The Circle of the online Creative Soul Courses continue with the session of the West. This session guides you to listen to the whispers of your heart and the song of your soul. The 3-month course will ask a great deal of you as you come to understand both your strengths and your fears. You will discover trust and balance in your creative process. I invite you to join the creative group of artists that are willing to go deeper into their inspiration.

Have you ever had doubts about your painting?

Do you sometimes suffer from the imposter syndrome?

The West session invites you to explore your hidden inspiration and to uncover messages that may have been holding you back from expressing your creativity.

I am your guide on this journey and I am honored to have your trust in my guidance.

I have been working with creativity and spirituality groups for over 25 years. I am an artist, a scientist and an alchemist.

Have you ever wanted to create more intuitively and learn to trust in your painting choices?

Do you wish to learn more about alternative methods and materials for mixed media?

Do you want someone to answer your questions each day?

Are you looking to share in the creative process with others and even make some lasting connections?

Follow along with me in the videos or learn the moves and then dance to your own rhythm at your own pace...

​

Either way, will finish at least

14 paintings in this 3-month class

Through the lessons you will become comfortable taking risks. You will save time and money and expand your knowledge and enhance your confidence and skill. These are some of the ways you will accomplish this:

• Work in Series to overcome analysis paralysis

• Develop color stories and make and integrate your personal collage material

• Understand design and composition tools to enhance your visual vocabulary

• Discover the tricks of successful gold leaf application, even over textures

• Incorporate textiles and yarns into your work

• Create successful crackles on any surface

• Follow your first thought and move past doubt

• Unearth your hidden gifts and embrace your shadow side

• Dance with your brushes and learn some new moves

• Explore working with interference and iridescent paints

• Jump off the canvas and explore alternative surfaces with mixed media

You will also have audio prompts, guided visualizations, writing exercises and downloadable PDF's.

Dive into the deep end of the mixed media pool with new confidence.

Tap into your intuition and use prompts to guide your process.

SOME STUDENT WORK FROM THE 2019 WEST SESSION​

I am with you every day with feedback and guidance. For 3 months you can create with me. This is more than you will ever get in any live workshop. You have the videos, audios and notes and you have me 1:1 mentoring for 3 months.

You will also become a part of an incredible group of artists that lend their own support and insight as you work through the lessons.

Even if you are the silent witness, the group energy is there for you to tap into.

Here are some more things you will explore:

• Discover unusual surfaces to paint on and to add to your art

• Make some unique tools and explore everyday objects for mark making

• Recognize and honor the small voice that is trying to be heard and release the grip that fear has been holding on you

• Listen to the audio lessons that will guide you and allow you to tap into your deepest wisdom

• Realize your personal creative superpower and go with the flow

Here is what you get:

• 13 Weeks of videos, audios, writing prompts and exercises and notes to download
