Life, Paint and Passion
with Stewart Cubley, founder of "The Institute for Art & Living, Fairfax, CA", dba The Painting Experience.
 This workshop is for anyone wanting to use the powerful tool of expressive painting to access the potential within the human heart and imagination. Awakening the Creative appeals to people who are interested in the dimensions of the artistic/creative, the healing/therapeutic and the meditative/spiritual. It addresses beginners as well as experienced painters – in the search for spontaneous expression, everyone is on the same level.
Beginners will learn to trust their creative impulse in an atmosphere that genuinely honors and respects individual differences. Experienced painters find this workshop particularly useful as a way to reconnect with the source of their original inspiration.
The power inherent in painting is that it can awaken a wild vein of passion that will not go back to sleep. Using only the simple tools of brush, paper and paint, Awakening the Creative invites you on a stimulating journey into the heart of expressive painting, made possible through a safe environment and the personal support of Stewart Cubley. The potential is to tap into an extraordinary resource: the vibrant, driving force of your own creative spirit.
In this workshop, everyone is a beginner. You are welcome even if you've never picked up a paintbrush. There will be no critiques, analysis of the work or focus on the finished product. The goal is free expression, with the emphasis on the creative process rather than on technique or expertise. Awakening the Creative is an opportunity to embark on the greatest of all human adventures-embracing your own path and confidently following it.
"This experience has opened me up to something wild and true in my life that has catapulted me beyond the confines I was feeling. It was liberating, full of color, intensity and fun" (workshop participant).
