A Guided Acrylic Painting Experience


Step out of your thinking mind and into your feeling self.

This is not about painting “perfectly.”

It’s about listening, trusting, and translating what arises onto canvas.


✨ What to expect:

• A calming, guided meditation to spark inspiration

• Intuitive, free-flow acrylic painting

• A warm, welcoming atmosphere full of creative energy

• All supplies included

• Refreshments provided


No prior painting experience is necessary—just a willingness to explore, feel, and create.
