HEALING ART WORKSHOPS with Marie Perret in Co Kilkenny
Intuitive Painting & Mindfulness 13th-16th November 2014 / 5th -8th March / 7th -10th May / 9th-12th July 2015
 
I have been coming to Co Kilkenny on a regular basis to teach workshops, retreats and training groups since 2001. The Art Synthesis approach has attracted those wishing to explore their creativity, express themselves freely and bring out depths of feeling, vitality and talent that have often been dormant within.
 
​​This approach encourages people to connect to their inner source through an exploration of feelings and creative expression in a safe and nurturing group atmosphere. At the core of this work is my belief and experience that renewal, transformation, and a clearer sense of direction can emerge through regular quiet periods devoted to reflection and creative expression. Such times centre us, building up the strength, inspiration and joy that help us to keep a balance in our daily lives.

​We use simple meditations, body/energy awareness exercises, and music to help us to go inwards and connect to our feelings, to invisible inner dimensions. Spontaneous creative expression allows us to bring our feelings out through our bodies into the visible world, into action. We seek to connect to the energy of play, a natural creative movement that is a harmonising, restorative and revitalising force. As we become absorbed in playing and open to the creative flow, so we link to an intuitive intelligence that draws us away from limitation and into increasing openness. This naturally frees up our life energy and gradually allows deeper levels of awareness and intuition to be expressed, at first non-verbally through colour, images, forms and then later through periods of writing and sharing.

​We use art materials and spontaneous painting to bring forth our own forms and images, the emphasis being on playful process and not on product. In all workshops you will be painting freely & spontaneously on large sheets of paper using a palette of 18 beautiful colours, working with intuitive drawing, sometimes with clay modelling. You will learn to trust the power and intelligence of the creative flow, to interpret the symbols, colours and forms in your art works – integrating your intuitive wisdom to enrich your daily life. Spontaneous creative expression helps you to relax, feel more balanced and self confident. This approach is joyful & empowering, encouraging you to transform limitations, and open your heart to a new awareness of yourself and others. No previous art training or artistic ability is required to follow the courses. There is a maximum of 10 people in each group.

All the workshops take place at Blanchville House, a beautiful location in the heart of the Kilkenny countryside. The quiet surroundings, the home cooking and Monica Phelan’s generous hospitality create a wonderful, supportive atmosphere for the workshops.
