Pure Process ~The Art of Creativity
Winter Online Session 2025
The Magic of the Word Box ~ Sat Feb 1st & 8th
STEP INSIDE THE DOOR OF PURE POSSIBILITIES
The magic of words is that they have the power to do more that convey meaning;
not only do they have the power to make things clear, they make things happen.
~ Fredrick Buechner
ZOOM classes will be:
* Two Saturdays- Feb 1st & 8th, 10:30-2:30- pm, PST (an hour for lunch)
* If you are unable to make it to the ZOOM,
the links will be posted that day within the FB group
to download and watch.
Private FB space will open
Wed Jan 29th- Wed Feb 12th
In this session of the Magic of the Word Box you will create your own personal Word Box through the collage and/or painting process. We will then begin the process of collecting words for our special boxes and infusing the box with our own individual and magnetic energy. Finally, we will explore some ways to use the box as a form of divination. Each step in this process is honoured with intention. Taking time with the process is the key to learning to hone your intuition.
Throughout, I will nudge you to step into this creative process with your heart and body, not your head. By the end of the session, you may have a richer relationship with your intuition. By the end of the session, you will have your own Magic Word Box to work with both in your personal and creative life, infused with your own beautiful energy.
Words like nature, half reveal and half conceal the soul within.
~Alfred Lord Tennyson
Payment & Registration details:
The Magic of the Word Box online course
was groundbreaking for me.
Each time we met online
Lisa's guidance was infused with creative magic
to show the way to carefully and masterfully craft
a most playful and potent divining tool...
The guidance that arrives through drawing words
from within it's blessed space
is astonishingly accurate, joyful, wise, and fun!
~ Maggie O'Connor
What can I Use my Magic Word Box for?
I will guide you through a of a total of two ZOOM Saturdays, where together we will work on both creating our boxes together, the collection of the words and then beginning to work with them. Together we will share our process.
A safe space will be created to explore your creative process within the ZOOMS and within the Private FB group. It is always best to show up live for the ZOOM class. However, if you are unable to attend the ZOOM, a link will be available to you after, and you will have permanent access to it.
The the Private FB Space will also be our creative space to further share our reflections, connections and the process of creation. We will all be there to support each other in a safe, private group.
This is a simple but deep process that does not require previous art experience.
The supplies are easy to get and not expensive.
A Little More Info for the Curious ~
What will I get out of the session?
*Please Note:*
**********************************************************************************
I am honoured to be your "Creativity Doula", bringing over 20 years of experience guiding people through the various stages of the Creative Process. When working through things together in the Creative Process, it gives us courage to address issues 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 that can 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 heart and commitment to show up and be willing to share in the group process.
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.
~ Lisa M Kirk
Online Pure Process Painting Session:
Coming Soon March 2025 (10-12 wk session).
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...

It is also a great way to explore another way to communicate with others through the painting process. 2- 3 people, 3 hrs, $250-.
The world of reality
has its limits;
the world of imagination
is boundless.
~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau
