Through the simple medium of Tempera paint, we learn to express our true nature and to explore our potential.
 
Give yourself that! Experience the joy of rediscovering yourself and the freedom this can bring to your life.
 
Family Constellation 
complements
There are times in our lives when we must look beyond our selves to the places and people we come from - to where the exclusion began - in order to resolve and heal our creative blocks and our lives. 
 
Constellations offer the opportunity to experience and heal the relational entanglements that may be in the way of our true potential.

Painting from the Inside Out
The moment we enter school we are taught spelling, numbers, reading; skills that build our ability to be successful in the world. We learn from the outside in. Our natural impulse to create is suppressed in favor of doing what we are taught. We have lost touch with our basic desires and impulses.

Now we see evidence in the myriad of diet food cookbooks and "creative " courses offered. The intention is well meant, however these offerings are coming from the same box of "outside in", teaching us how to be healthy or "creative". Our innate desire to express as well as our natural biological rhythm is being compromised.

Painting from the Inside Out opens the door for you to find your original impulse that is the source of creation.

Initially it may feel like there is nothing being offered: no subject to paint, no suggestions, no prompts, no music. This is correct. This process offers nothing from the outside - besides paper, brush and paint- except a space: a safe space to be with yourself and with all of who you are: feelings, thoughts and sensations. In addition, there are others just like you; others who feel, think and sense. You get to know what it's like to be all of you within the support of the group.

Fear and not knowing is natural when standing in front of a blank canvas. It is the first most important awareness that allows for something new to occur; something beyond what we think should be -from the outside.

Knowing that you are held in a safe space to be who you are is the most important ingredient to paint from. You don't have to look outside for someone to tell you what to paint. You trust yourself.

Come, commit to yourself and be surprised!
Allow your creativity to find its home in you.

"The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be
continually fearing you will make one.'
