Self-Discovery through Process Painting
Gateway to Presence is a creative workshop exploring connection, peace, and self-acceptance through painting.

In this 1-day workshop intensive, you are invited to express yourself through a process-oriented approach to art. This means you are paying attention to your inner journey, not the outcome, or product. 

This workshop is a unique, supportive space, free from judgement and comparison. Rather than trying to improve, fix, or achieve something, you’re encouraged to let go and meet yourself —just as you are. 

Creative expression is the gateway for letting go, self-discovery, and personal breakthroughs. And you don't have to be "artistic" to experience this!

Our Purpose:
  • Notice and soften fear
  • Explore beyond your comfort zone
  • Connect with your authentic self
  • Move through creative "blocks"
  • Experience a return to wholeness, love, acceptance
  • Community 

Our Approach:
  • A grounded, mindful environment
  • Permission to release rules and expectations
  • Simple (yet challenging) prompts and exercises
  • Reflection to help integrate your experience
All are welcome—from those who feel “I can’t draw” to experienced artists looking for a more freeing, intuitive approach to art making.

Details:
  • All supplies included in fee. 
  • Coffee, tea, water, and light snacks will be provided. This is an alcohol-free event. We will plan for a 30-minute lunch break.
  • Painters will be sitting down to paint, so you won't be on your feet all day (unless you want to be!) 
  • Workshop is for 18+ adults only (no exceptions).

What to bring:
  • Sack Lunch 
  • Apron or smock
  • Journal
