COMMUNICATE with Your HEART
​A Workshop on the BEAUTY of VULNERABILITY
combining two Powerful Approaches:
Process Art & The Dalian Method
 Art • Body • Soul  |  1024 S Yates Rd, Memphis TN 38119
​Facilitated by Leela Haris of Kansas City and Madeleine Salmon Newkirk of Memphis
Friday Aug 23 | 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Saturday Aug 24 | 9:30 AM - 5:30 PM
Sunday Aug 25 | 10:30 AM - 1:00 PM
Additional open studio hours for workshop attendees only: Saturday 5:30 PM - 9:00 PM ​​| Sunday 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM

During this workshop we will paint using the techniques of process art by tuning in and allowing a mystery to unfold on the canvas.
​The blank canvas often reveals inner feelings such as discouragement, frustration, feeling less than or unskilled. Likewise creating can also be experienced as joy, delight, and peace.

Feelings emerge during the process because they exist within us and are repressed in our energy field and subconscious. Everything we’ve pushed down, because we didn’t want to say or feel it, is held within our bodies and affects our well-being.
​
We will work with the repressions that we discover along the way using the Dalian Method — releasing the heavier emotions and blockages to expand the lighter ones and discover how personal transformation impacts our canvas. As we clear burdensome thoughts and emotions, we come closer to our hearts.
​
The workshop begins Friday night with an introduction and experience of the Dalian Method's Find Answers to Your Questions.  Saturday morning we will process paint in the morning and return to the Dalian Method in the afternoon to go deeper using the 72 minute version of the method.   Sunday morning we will process paint and close the workshop with a meditation.  There is value in spending time in the workshop setting, as well as the painting process.  This time allows us to let go and relax into ourselves.

Sept 1 |  ​Kansas City

Dance with your inner mysteries.

Meditative Painting
Go Deeper Into Yourself

Sunday Sept 1st 3pm - 6pm  |  75th St and Wornall Rd, Kansas City, MO 64114

​For those who want to:
• Awaken Intuition & Creativity
• Strengthen Self-Awareness
• Have a Supportive Space for acknowledging blocks, fear, or self-doubt
• Enjoy Spontaneous Self-Discovery

Meditative Painting is a way of making art in a space free of any kind of critique. There are no ideals to live up to or art techniques taught in this class. This process places the value on you, your inner experience, rather than the outcome of what you do. Creating in this space of freedom and non-judgment allows your intuition to take center stage. Uncomfortable thoughts and emotions are also welcome to surface as working with these issues is beneficial to your quality of life.

Meditative Painting is intended to help you discern between the joyful flow of your intuition and your interfering and restrictive mind. This practice can be carried into your daily life to help you navigate from a deeper and more fulfilling place inside yourself.

During this class, Leela facilitates each person based on their individual challenges, needs, and unique expression.
​
