Monthly Saturday Classes Now Taught On Zoom!
Course Description:
Process Painting is an expressive arts therapy modality and a vehicle for self-exploration. It focuses on process (inner journey) rather than on product (the painting) and it does not require that participants have any prior experience with art. With roots in experiential psychotherapies, Zen, Gestalt psychology, and expressive arts therapy, it is a method for learning about oneself, and a way to connect with one’s innate source of creativity.
The process helps us contact our inner blocks to creativity and develop trust in ourselves and in the moment. With expanded self-awareness we gain confidence in our unique unfolding, leading us to more self-acceptance and a quieting of the inner critic. We then can play, have fun, invent, and take risks on the canvas.
In a supportive and encouraging environment you will have an opportunity to connect with your intuitive inner voice, playfulness, and with additional freedom of self-expression.
Anyone interested in exploring creativity is welcome.
