Soul dreaming

Who is this for

.
The is for people who want to connect to that creative art-making space but haven’t for a long time or have never painted before.  This will inspire you if you are feeling blocked and want fresh ideas whether you are a beginner or more ex[erienced artist to loosen up and explore another approach.

If you are looking for a course to reignite your creativity then let’s Create a story’ together and find new spaces for joyful connection and art play in your life.

You deserve the time and space to create again and look after yourself. Self-care is central to being the best version of you in all areas of your life and you deserve time to replenish and find your way back to you. No matter how busy the world gets, remember to care for your soul and fill your own cup so you can be more balanced and connected when you return to the responsibilities that shape your outer world stories.
This course is about painting your story as you heal and balancing your creative soul. As we remove blocks and reconnect to our inner spaces, we begin to listen to the intuitive guidance more often and when we do we find ourselves in a place of flow as we live our heart stories.

Learn basic composition techniques as you explore balance, contrast, and colour as you add each layer as you find the freedom to play through colour,  paint, and mixed media layers. Completely open to what emerges onto our canvas and trust that your story is unfolding with each new layer. Every layer is an act of letting go and choosing the next thing that moves you towards your story and what you love.

In the last part of the workshop, learn the basics of the Art Inside-Out process where you will suspend disbelief and step into your story and write from inside your own story. This powerful connected process that I developed combines ‘I am’ poem sentences that have developed through my experience as a SoulCollage® facilitator and an Art, English and EAL teacher. Discover ways to use some basic composition techniques as you explore balance, This process can be used with your own art and other people’s art as every art piece that you are attracted to holds part of your story.
