 INTUITIVE PAINTING ​
Ages 13 and up (Middle and High School Girls)

Intuitive Painting is a creative process that combines intuition, play and freedom of expression.  Open to all levels of artistic skills, it invites participants to engage in art-making free from:

  • Perfectionism by silencing your inner critic
  • Comparison – by accepting the uniqueness of each human being
  • And the constant need of external approval – by turning inward to find self-worth
 
Intuitive Painting is also considered a spiritual practice that invites you to engage with your creativity by making something out of nothing.  True creativity is born when we face the blank page (or canvas) without any guidelines, expectations, or specific goals.  To explore the unknown through the flow of brush and color, is to accept mistakes and imperfections as treasures to be discovered along the way.  To dive in into this process is to leave nothing out, releasing fear, anxiety and shame from all aspects of your life.
 
Intuitive Painting is not concerned with results, techniques, making something look good, or performing to an audience.  It is concerned only with the creative journey and the soul development of the artist.  The art that emerges from this process is deeply personal and naturally happens through form, color, senses, sounds, and language.  It is a practice of trust, flexibility, courage and compassion.
 
Teenage girls are going through an amazing process of transformation that requires support, space, and kindness to flourish.  Anxiety, fear, and high expectations are part of of the teen experience.  In truth, teen girls just want to be accepted for who they are, to feel comfortable with their own skin, and to find their own rhythm and direction in this crazy journey called life. 

Intuitive Painting can serve as tool to help girls silence their inner critics and create space for their true voices to be expressed.  It can also serve as bridge to self-love, self-healing and self-acceptance as they move to and change into adulthood.

​Our art studio is a communal space where artists, despite of age or artistic skills, have a unique voice.  We offer a holistic approach to art-making combining mixed-media art with spiritual practices like yoga, chanting, prayer, singing bowls, walking meditation, and sand mandalas.  Our daily mindful practices prepare our young artists to be focused and to work well in group.  During camp, art becomes the foundation to build a community centered in peace, love and creativity.
