Do you want to let go of everything that happened in 2021 and start this year feeling fresh, rejuvenated and excited?!

Join me for a healthy expression of emotions through the healing arts, as we gather in community and create resilience.

You will walk away feeling more grounded, lighter and calmer.

We will be using pen or paint to tune into our intuition and express our emotions onto paper and explore the process of creative expression. This is not a technical class and is open to people of all art levels and is more focused on mark-making and self expression - no experience needed.

Art is a great form of therapy and can be an incredibly healing tool.

What you will get from this workshop:

- how to hold space for yourself
- how to sit with challenging or big emotions, such as grief, or anger
- how to use art as a form of expressing our emotions
- how to calm your inner critic
- how to listen to your intuition (gut feeling)
- learning new skills through hands-on experience
- guided projects by a passionate full-time artist
- learn extra tips on how to be creative
- a better understanding and development of your own creativity
- new skills how to create more mindfulness in your daily life

TESTIMONIALS:
"Melissa’s intuitive painting art workshop was an incredible experience. This inspiring space really encouraged me, both to let go and be bold, as I moved through the fear of not painting beautiful enough. It helped me welcome joyful and spontaneous expression. I learned a variety of techniques, worked with vibrant colours and tools. Kept the momentum by moving the body to music, and last but not least, connected more deeply to my feelings and left feeling inspired!" - Angela

“I attended Melissa's workshop twice, it was really interesting and I loved this new way of looking at my emotions. For a person who considers herself non-creative, I had a lot of fun and really enjoyed expressing anger through destroying and burning my painting. I highly recommend it for everyone!” - Chloe

“The intuitive workshop I attended with Mel was a lot of fun. For me painting was very frustrating and Mel was very supportive, inspiring and assisted me with bringing out my anger onto the canvas. It's a joy seeing her teach, as the love she has for art and inspiring people to bring out their inner artist really comes through her work. Since that workshop my creativity has really skyrocketed. Thank you my friend!” - Will
