Bring your intentions with you or write them down as they come to you, even throughout the practice! This is a portal of energy that sets the stage for the next 6 months.

Communicate with Your Heart A Workshop on the Beauty of Vulnerability combining two powerful approaches: Process Art & The Dalian Method Friday | 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Saturday | 9:30 AM - 5:30 PM Sunday | 10:30 AM - 1:00 PM Additional open studio hours for workshop attendees only: Saturday 5:30 PM - 9:00 PM and Sunday 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM. Facilitated by Leela Haris of Kansas City and Madeleine Newkirk Regular Price : $180 Early Bird 15% Discount thru August 9: $153 |
During this workshop we will paint using the techniques of process art by tuning in and allowing a mystery to unfold on the canvas.
The blank canvas often reveals inner feelings such as discouragement, frustration, feeling less than or unskilled. Likewise creating can also be experienced as joy, delight, and peace.
Feelings emerge during the process because they exist within us and are repressed in our energy field and subconscious. Everything we’ve pushed down, because we didn’t want to say or feel it, is held within our bodies and affects our wellbeing.
We will work with the repressions that we discover along the way using the Dalian Method — releasing the heavier emotions and blockages to expand the lighter ones and discover how personal transformation impacts our canvas. As we clear burdensome thoughts and emotions, we come closer to our hearts.

The workshop begins Friday night with an introduction and experience of the Dalian Method's Find Answers to Your Questions. Saturday morning we will process paint in the morning and return to the Dalian Method in the afternoon to go deeper using the 72 minute version of the method. Sunday morning we will process paint and close the workshop with a meditation. There is value in spending time in the workshop setting, as well as the painting process. This time allows us to let go and relax into ourselves.
