Pure Process ~The Art of Creativity
Winter Online Session 2024
STEP INSIDE THE DOOR OF PURE POSSIBILITIES
Winter Pure Process Painting Online:
Revelations at the Threshold: What the Soul Wants You to Know
In this ten week deep dive into the Creative Process, we will begin to trust our own creative unfolding. Traveling through the creative processes of inquiry, writing, painting, reflection and group sharing, we will create a visual map of sorts to guide us through life's challenges and celebrations. We will learn to see the messages held in the richness of our visual landscapes and the interwoven connections between all we are experiencing, inviting a new persepective. This process can be deeply transformational.
In this session, we will discover what really wants to be revealed at the threshold we are standing on in our lives. We will ask what the soul wants us to know and reflect on the messages the process paintings present us with. Here, we will explore the colours, shapes, images and symbols in our personal terrain that arise to guide us. This terrain may be familiar and/or unfamiliar, but it is sure to be rich with inner truths waiting to be revelaed. Through making it visible, we create a bridge to support us through whatever we may be experiencing. No matter what stage of life you are in, the Creative Process is healing.
Working in a small safe group of eight (including me), we support each other to briing clarity in our sometimes messy lives by witnerssing and sharing our challenges and growth. We discover we are not alone in our process and understand the human condition brings us together in strength.
I am honoured to be your "Creativity Doula", bringing over 20 years of experience guiding peropl through the various stages of the Creative Process. When working through things together in the Creative Process, it gives us courage to address things in our life process. It also helps to carry us through the challenges and celebrations of life, teaching us what we most need to know.
The Creative Process echoes life process. There is great wisdom held in this process if we are willing to enter it, be open and listen. I have certainly learned through my breast cancer journey that life is never a straight path, and neither is the Creative Process. However, it is a powerful tool to utilize in life to help navigate and support you.
Come join us for a safe journey with kind and compassionate travelers. No fancy art supplies needed, just your open hert and commitment to show up and be willing to share in the group process.

A Little Bit More for the Curious:
* Painting created by a Pure Painting participant
If we don't listen to the voice of the soul,
it sings a stranger tune.
If we don't go looking
for what lies beneath the surface
of our lives,
the soul comes looking for us.
~ Elizabeth Lesser
*Please Note*
There is a sacred and transformative energy
that is generated when a small group gathers
to create. When cultivated, this energy supports,
heals and guides one forward in their life.

What is “Pure Process Art” you ask?
It is the willingness to be open to the creative spirit that moves in all of us.
It is trusting the innate knowledge that resides inside of us and giving it permission to come through us in our creations.
Pure Process is accessing the deeper, mysterious and hidden places within our soul that have no words.
It is an approach to teaching art that is accepting, open, and supportive of each person’s pilgrimage to their own creative essence.
It is allowing feelings, memories, and the greater universal connection to be expressed through the media of art.
Pure Process is about listening through your eyes and heart to the messages your art may have for you, allowing your art to "speak" to you with colour, shape, texture and energy.
Everyone was born with a creative spirit and everyone expresses this creativity in diverse ways.
However, sometimes we feel the doorway to our creative spirit has become stuck, locked, or is only open a crack.
Pure Process can guide you to fling open the doorways to your creative spirit. This can overflow into your everyday life and you will find yourself feeling, thinking and doing things differently.
Take the leap into the palette of your intuition….and take a class...

The world of reality
has its limits;
the world of imagination
is boundless.
~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau
