The Paint Practice TM
When something upends your life, it's common to feel like you're carrying more than you can put into words.
Painting can help.
Many people know that painting — without worrying about it being 'good' — gives them a place to put that weight down, even briefly. It isn't about technique (although you'll learn some).
It is about making a mark when you don't know what else to do.

The Overall 6-Week Paint Practice Program:
Weeks 1–2 — "Making Marks"
Gentle breath practice , centering options and cultivating mindful presence before painting. Guided loose,non-representational painting in response to prompts. Simply settle the body to be a bit calmer, then let the hand move.
Weeks 3–4 — "Finding Edges"
Restorative stretching, options for mudras and other means of a 1-minute grounding ritual. Painting washes, shapes, adding boundary, and structure to the canvas — mirroring a felt sense of regaining structure and resilience. Dissolving edges, sharp edges…lost edges and how these methods can act as metaphors for the ups and downs of life.
Weeks 5–6 — "Your Ongoing Practice"
Short flowing movement warm-ups. Painting becomes more about building a satisfying personal ritual to use going forward, plus a take-home "10-minute reset" you design yourself..
