About Intuition Painting®
In Intuition Painting® you will focus on the process without worrying about the outcome so that you can free your inner muse and create spontaneously.
Intuition Painting® moves you past the fear of doing it wrong, beyond any "art scars" from childhood, and into a free-flowing state of authentic expression. Using mindfulness, meditation, and creativity coaching, you’ll learn to paint from your innermost self.
No previous training or skills are needed. Yoga will be practiced daily. They keep their retreats small for a better experience for all.
