We are all born with an innate desire to express ourselves. The expression offered here is a special kind called ‘automatic painting’ where complete freedom exists. There is no need to know how to paint. There are no restraints or rules. Paint with your hands... dance as you paint... you choose how you want to express yourself. You are invited to focus on a specific key word or idea. You close your eyes and allow the word to roll around your thoughts and mind. As you tap into the essence of the idea... you invite the feeling of the word to dance from the brush to the canvas.

Studies show that painting in such as way:

• Offers an emotional release by reducing stress and anxiety
• Expands creative, out-of-the-box thinking
• Stimulates your brain to grow new neurons (That’s a good thing!)
• Increases dopamine, the feel-good neurotransmitter in your brain
• Supports neuroplasticity
• Boosts drive, focus and concentration
• Sharpens emotional resilience
• Encourages the mind to use creativity and imagination in finding solutions
