Instead of working toward a finished result, what if you just paid attention to what is happening as you paint?

The impulse to choose a color, the moment something shifts, the next step that wants to happen on the paper.

The focus is never on how the painting turns out. It’s on staying with the movement of the creative process as it unfolds ✨

If you have been curious about intuitive painting, join us for our upcoming special workshop with San Francisco Zen Center: One Breath, One Brushstroke: An Introduction to Intuitive Painting Practice. Space is limited, so save your spot directly with San Francisco Zen Center.

Can’t make it? We offer regular online and in person Intro classes every single month. Just one class, no ongoing commitment. Visit our link in bio to learn more.

What a deep honor to spend time with the exhonoree community of The Innocence Project 💛

These brave and true men and women were wrongfully incarcerated for crimes they did not commit. Bearing years of lost life and walking the path of restored innocence and freedom.

Picking up a paintbrush, we watched them find their way into their own inner creative innocence and freedom 🖌️ 🎨

Thank you to the whole Northern California Innocence Project (NCIP) community for including us. Thank you to Davina Galli and Kaitlyn Oddo for your sensitivity, presence, and generosity of spirit in holding the space with our lead facilitator, Maria Freebairn-Smith. And a special thank you to Cy’mone Stewart and the incredible staff at The Innocence Project for the profound work you do changing lives every single day 💛
