Is this program right for me?
“The Intuition Painting® training was fantastic.
All I could ask for is more of it, and that is the best incentive there is to lead it.””
Sound like something you would say?
I would like to help others know, grow, and heal through creativity ...
You know the power of art to reach people on a deeply healing level and you’d like to facilitate this type of work for others. You love the idea of hosting individuals or a circle of intuitive painters who open up, connect creatively, and become more impassioned about life.
I want to lead the coaching version of Art Therapy ...
You have been interested in facilitating art for wellness, but you aren’t resonating with multi-year art therapy courses that cost tens of thousands of dollars and leave you working within a beaurocracy, laden with admin and insurance requirements.
I'd like to incorporate art into my current practice...
You are already in a helping profession, and want to incorporate this work in order to attract clients and expand your offerings in the field of well-being. You recognize creative expression reaches places that words alone cannot.
I might like this training just for me...
There are those of you who will want to participate in this journey to deeply transform yourself, but aren’t sure you wan to teach it. There is no expectation that you facilitate this process after completing the training.
Who Takes Intuition Painting® Facilitation Training?
People from many different walks of life, professional fields and levels of art experience can benefit from and utilize the unique experiential training of the Intuition Painting® Facilitator Training. Whether you join the program primarily for professional or personal goals, your life will be transformed and enlivened by this extraordinary creative process.
Life Coaches
Adding intuitive creative modalities to your coaching tool kit can help to dramatically shift your clients from over-thinking and intellectualizing to direct contact with their soul purpose and path to reach it. Coaching through creativity is a fast-growing segment in the industry today. Intuition Painting® is effectively coaching through art.
Therapists & Social Workers
Are you searching for a way to supplement your traditional work with clients? Would you like to learn new effective and fun ways to practice self-care for yourself and your clients? Can you imagine teaching workshops where simply painting spontaneously becomes the basis for profound personal transformation for your clients? This process can help you access deeper levels of awareness, empowerment, and transformation for both individuals and groups.
Artists or Art Educators
Many people arrive at the door of an expressive art studio as refugees from their own art education! If you are yearning for an unleashing of your creative energy and escape from any limiters that were taught in art education, this training is for you! In the Intuition Painting® training you will first recover and enhance your own joy in the creative process and then learn how to teach others in a way that does not restrict creativity to “how-to’s”, “craftsmanship” and sale-ability.
Spiritual Leaders
Intuition Painting® training will teach you how creating art as a meditation can lead to mindfulness, self awareness, and personal transcendence. For some, this approach becomes the preferred means to manage the ego and heal wounds of the soul that otherwise cloud one's perspective on their spiritual path. Intuition Painting® can be organized and facilitated as a means of spiritual practice used by spiritual directors, clergy, and lay people for their own self care as well as for their congregations.
Seeking Personal Evolution
Recovering your natural creative imagination offers a new frontier in healing and personal evolution, and some say the most rewarding journey of all. Beyond finding and fixing faults, beyond perfection, beyond becoming “better” is a vast land of authentic, genuine self expression where the true wonder of being a human being is explored and appreciated. If you are ready for this unlimited journey – this training may be right for you.
Experiencing Transition
Many people find transitions in life to be the perfect time to realign with their long lost muse. Intuition Painting® can be a powerful segue to a new life path and career that combines your love of creativity with your desire to help others align with their own passion and purpose. You can learn how to use the Intuition Painting® process to burn through stagnant energy, stale ideas, and “ruts” of living that are ready to be released. As your being fills with fresh creative energy and your mind opens to bright clarity you will learn all the nuts and bolts of creating a safe sacred space for your own creative work and to teach others.
