The Creative Way to Self Awareness Classes are a course of 10 workshops designed by Lorelai I. Dali. The sole purpose of the programme is to bring intelligence of creation to your daily life through fun and easy arts & crafts exercises. But don’t be fooled – there is a deep meaning to each exercise in order to help you become more self-aware, more mindful, more confident and live your life more consciously.
If you think you’re not artistic or have no talent – these classes will prove you wrong! Each of us has an inner need to express ourselves and be true to who we are. The art is a medium that will show you how you can do that!

The Art of Letting Go – Paint Pouring – Class 4
Paint Pouring is a technique of allowing the painting to create itself. During the process we have little control over what happens on the canvas so it’s a great opportunity to practice enjoying the process and letting go of the end result. Relinquishing the need to control what happens with the painting helps us learn to let go of expectations in life as well. During this workshop you will learn basic paint pouring techniques, create 3 paintings that will be yours to take home and you will reflect on the process of letting go in art and in life.

OTHER WORKSHOPS
Mandala Workshop
Mandala art has been used throughout the world for self-expression, spiritual transformation, and personal growth. Mandala is the ancient Sanskrit word for circle and is seen by Tibetans as a diagram of the cosmos. It is used by Native Americans in healing rituals and in Christian cathedrals the labyrinth is a mandalic pattern used as a tool for meditation. An archetypal symbol of wholeness, the mandala was used as a therapeutic art tool by psychologist Carl Jung, who believed creating mandalas helped patients to make the unconscious conscious.
In creating a mandala we open ourselves to all the possibilities that exist inside and outside of us.
During this workshop we will concentrate on painting personal mandalas with the intention to manifest our dreams or goals into our reality. This process will help you awaken your own creative powers and connect with your heart to find the best possible ways to become the happy person you strive to be! It is also a great way of meditating and finding inner peace – when you paint in peaceful, warm and open atmosphere, the whole world disappears …
Class is open to anyone, no previous experience or art skills are required. This is an intuitive painting workshop, and even if you haven’t painted before, you can do it! All materials will be provided.
