| A meditative approach to Painting Painting in a group with others is a direct way to unleash our natural, spontaneous self-expression. We will paint with brillant, vibrant colours on handmade paper. Sitting on the floor allows the whole body to be involved in a sensual, hands-on, creative act. Given a supportive atmosphere everyone of us is creative and can express him/herself through painting. You may experience how easily painting can happen when you are trusting your spontaneity and intuitive feeling. The exploration in this course will take you beyond the mind and its judgements about what is right and wrong, beautiful and ugly. Such an approach can help you to rediscover hidden energies and aspects of yourself and opens the door to meditation, silence and joy. Other expressive technics such as dance, active |
| meditations and partner exercises enrich the exper- ience and help to break through artistic fears and inhibitions. Painting be- comes more a play, a mysterious search and a revelation of the unconscious. Anyone with a thirst for colours, movement, play and meditation can benefit from this work. If you have always wanted to try paiting but have been afraid or discouraged, this workshop is for you. No experience of any kind is needed for your participation! |
