Painting Mandalas with Meditation (as a foundation) is a unique course aimed at assisting people in either acknowledging their creative, artistic skills in painting or changing the way an artist approaches new paintings via meditation, spirituality, breath or yoga techniques.
The course is about a technique called intuitive painting and instruction is given in how to develop one's intuition, to trust what is happening in the moment in the painting, learn how to let go of control and go with the flow of the paint, water and color selection. Participants are invited to go deeply into this work, to identify patterns in painting and in life, and change these ways for greater expression and freedom.
This course has 5 modules, and is designed to take breaks and have lots of painting time in between suggestions, instructions and activities, so it may take between 3-6 days, depending on how much time you spend painting and then changing your painting. There are no mistakes, only process and awareness of your processing of your life issues as you paint! Afterall, it IS a meditation!
The course is structured to give background, guided meditation instruction, or instruction in energy work and some suggested yoga poses to break up the stagnation that can occur when we sit for long periods of time and try to work through a problem without space for reflection and integration. You are given time to paint, just make sure you press stop to enjoy the processing, on the canvas or in your mind or body.
Take this course to become more creative, learn how to paint with greater courage, and to learn about meditation and the mind. Learn about the mandala process and discover purposeful living through painting your life story. Process events or emotions through this style of painting, reveal your patterns in your artwork.

- This course is probably not for you if you wish to paint a landscape or have a set idea of what the painting is going to turn out to look like. This is the point. being in the moment means that you will not plan out the outcome, because the outcome is unknown and unexpected. Flowers, horses and stick people will likely be painted over, by the time your painting(s) are finished.
