ART & SOUL presents
Painting From The Wild Heart with Chris Zydel
     August 8-10, 2008

  • Awaken your creativity and nurture your artist’s soul
  • Learn to listen to your intuition
  • Rediscover creativity as play
  • Foster the courage you need for creative-risk taking both on the canvas and in your life

Treat yourself to a weekend of creative and spiritual renewal. Experience the healing power and greater aliveness that come from the Intuitive Painting process.

The philosophy of Intuitive Painting (or Process Painting) is that a regular diet of creative self-expression is an important and often underutilized tool for those of us on a path of spiritual and personal growth. Our creativity is a means by which we can access and express the deepest parts of who we are. It is connected to our internal guidance system, our intuition. Finding our unique creative expression keeps us viscerally connected to what is passionate, vital, and meaningful in our lives. This approach to painting is not oriented towards learning artistic techniques. Its unique focus is on working with the flow of the creative process itself, which allows us to connect more deeply with ourselves in a powerful, nonverbal way that can lead to experiences of joyful transformation.

Learning to trust and embrace our unique and natural creative style in a supportive atmosphere free of comparison and judgment can bring an increased sense of self-acceptance and compassionate attunement to our soul's purpose.

No art experience is necessary.

“I have come to think of Chris Zydel as a midwife to my creative process. Her manner is gentle and direct and her intuitive ability to ask questions that open students to their own unfolding is truly a gift! She is able to quickly create a safe space that allows the expression of deep feelings through the painting process. Her lively sense of humor makes the process very enjoyable.”
