Whether you are a seasoned artist or beginner, Katherine will bring you into a safe and scared space to play with paint, to tune into your intuitive nature and to make your mark in any color, shape, and form you like. You are the artist and the editor of your life. It is time to trust you are capable and courageous enough to explore the creative process that plants seeds for new life. Work with intuitive painting to express your intentionality, curiosity, and wonderment for dreaming life big. Katherine will guide you to work with the intuitive creative process, as well as how to work with the materials, color, symbolism, and intention to connect to your inner creative spark, your creative Inner Artist. Ceremony will hold the space for diving deep into your creativity and imagination, to open the doorway to visioning, and how to bring that to a canvas.
Intuitive Painting Theme is Awakening Your Soul Spark with New BeginningsWithin the day's sacred container we will work with the energy of Spring, of the Cosmic Void of potentiality, and the clarity of focus for planting seeds for new life. We'll journey with the Spring energy bursting forth from Mother Earth to express our hopes and dreams and being born anew.
With canvas, paint, and the power of your curiosity, we will explore your soul's inner symbol system, awakening your intuitive creativity, and its power to support you in creating the life you want.
What if you could create a more loving, exciting, peace-filled, and abundant life? What if you can edit our life story and empower yourself as story teller and story maker? Are you ready to expand your story into greater harmony, love, and joy? What does it look like, feel like, taste like, sound like, to Awaken Your Soul Spark. There is nothing more important than realizing you are the Creative Spark who directs your life.
Everyone of us is a creative being. If you don't think of yourself as an artist, it is time to reconsider that you are born a creative being, even if you don't draw, paint, sing, dance or such. You imagine and create your life each day. It is within you. It drives your choices and responses to the world. Becoming aware of this divine spark within your very being is part of your journey to awakening your true nature. With intention, curiosity, and the courage to show up, you have the opportunity to awaken and engage this divine spark in your every day consciousness. This is a time to connect to your Divine Inner Artist Spark, and bring her forth.
Imagination, Innocence, Purity, and Childlike WondermentWhen we begin anew, we are in a vulnerable yet powerful energy of innocence and purity. These qualities are potent regenerative energies for creating our heart's desires. Are you tired of the adulting? Are you ready to laugh again, and move into the freedom of play? How would you like to imagine again?
You will be supported to release old, limiting beliefs and energies as you explore the power of curiosity and childlike wonderment in your intuitive painting process — opening the doors to joy, fulfillment, heart, and great happiness.

Intuitive painting is a painting process to free you from limited perception and stuck ideas about... well, anything. I have used it to heal what is stuck in my personality, emotions, beliefs and body issues. Many years ago it got me out of my state of perfection, which was always an illusion, and put me into the flow and intelligence of my Spirit.
I'll provide the safe environment and all the supplies, you supply your curiosity, your courage and your desire to be more creative... to Wake UP! ... to heal... to en-JOY yourself. Come with an open mind and be prepared to open the rest of yourself into greater authenticity.
