Attraction and Manifestation
Tap into your creative power and create meaningful art in alignment with the natural rhythms of the seasons and the Wheel of the Year.
In this mixed media art class, you will create a piece of art exploring a theme that embraces the energies of Beltane. The theme for this 3-hour Intuitive Mixed Media Art workshop is ‘Attraction and Manifestation’.
At Beltane, also known as May Day, the seasonal shift calls us to recognise the ripe field of potential we are standing in. In nature all around you abundant beauty is happening as the days get warmer, springs flowers and plants have sprouted and grown. Visible growth reminds us of natures fertility and renewal which calls us to awaken to what we desire to truly create and manifest in our own life.
Working with the seasons and the Wheel of the Year underpins my own creative and spiritual practice and during this workshop I will share with you about creatively connecting to the energies of Beltane for enhanced well-being and nourishment.
Exploring the energy of Beltane you will be engaging the creative process as a meditative reflection process. Laying down paint and mixed media intuitively and rest into enjoying, moving, and playing with your paint. The session starts with a small-guided meditation practice – so you can approach the creative process from a place of stillness and rest. You then move into working on building layers of flow and curiosity with images, quotes, textures, and acrylic paint as you connect to what you wish to attract and manifest in your life.
Using your fingers, brushes, colour, creating and dissolving form you will learn how to express creatively without using the mind to judge what the outcome will be or what to do next. There is guidance, technique and prompts throughout the session to keep the thread of the theme ‘Attraction and Manifestation’ evolving as you create. This approach allows a dialogue with your intuitive nature to open as you relax into the creative process. A communication opens that informs and inspires the piece being created and enables you to bring forward in your art piece a message of Attraction and Manifestation that is opening within you. Making each participant’s piece unique and full of meaning and reflection.
Not only will you leave the session with a beautiful piece of artwork that is meaningful to you but also a depth of creative nourishment and enhanced well-being.
