STUDIO EXANIMO
"You have your brush, You have your colors, You paint paradise, Then in you go."
-Nikos Kazantzakis
Studio Exanimo workshops and retreats offer a deep, light-hearted exploration in returning to your true home: your heart. Studio Exanimo is a "laboratory" where making art, using painting and/or altered books, and sensing explorations encourage
direct engagement with what is arising moment to moment in you.
When you’re given the support to meet what is happening in the moment you can begin to trust in the emergence of a deeper, more authentic sense of self. Sarah’s simple, open presence offers a mighty kindness and tenderness for exploring the rich territory of your heart and beginning to live more heart-fully.
The work is offered in an atmosphere of playfulness, tenderness and quiet. There is plenty of time and space given to discover what it means to be engaged in the moment. No art experience is required. Technique is not taught. Critiques are
not offered.

THE PAINTING EXPERIENCE with Stewart Cubley
In these workshops, everyone is a beginner; people from all levels of experience are welcome, including those who have never picked up a paintbrush. The environment, methods, facilitation, and overview provide for an in-depth self-exploration that can lead to pivotal insights for generating effective change.
The Painting Experience is an opportunity to embark on the greatest of all human journeys - embracing your own path and confidently following it. The goal is free expression. The emphasis is on the creative process rather than on technique or expertise.
