Wisdom Painting -- Release & Renewal -- Coming Up Sunday, Jan. 31, 2010

Photo: Birthing Woman by Mary Gravelle, 120" x 96", tempera on paper. Yes, that is me standing in front of my painting.

The painting shown here is an example of an outcome of Wisdom Painting. It is the result of many hours, weeks, and months of sticking with the painting process. This is where I would love to take YOU!

So far the Wisdom Painting sessions I have held in Silver City have been at the beginner level, which I will continue to hold. I want you to know that I would love to be able to take this workshop to deeper levels with you. The one-year intensive study I did with Aviva Gold, author of Painting From the Source, prepared me to do just that. In addition, I have been painting in the Wisdom Painting way for over 20 years. I have first-hand knowledge and experience with this way of painting for self-discovery.

My workshops have changed over the years from Split Splat Take That, Scrunchy Painting, and finally to Wisdom Painting which is the current name of my workshop that came out of my study with Aviva.

I will be offering Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Retreats for Wisdom Painting this year. My goal is to offer you a 5-day Retreat where all you do is show up to the painting process. I create the safe and sacred container for you to create at the level of your personal interest.

Disclaimer: I am not educated as a therapist or a counselor. Therefore, you are responsible for your emotional and spiritual well-being by enlisting the help of a therapist or counselor if needed.

With that said, I am more than qualified to take you through the painting process at your desired level. My job is to be totally present for you and your process. Here is what past participants have said about Wisdom Painting:

Hi Mary, You are amazing and help many people with your insight, wisdom, and love for painting with much expression. Hope all is well with you. Warmest Regards, Maria

Anonymous participants:

“Mary--Thank you. I needed to do this more than I ever could have realized. Fabulous learning experience. Again, thanks.”

“It ... gave me the pathway to continue with pride and confidence.”

“Experience was a growing one.”

“Safe space to stretch beyond what’s comfortable and gentle push to do it.”

"...contained more for me personally than I thought I might gain. I felt the experience as a whole helped me to connect with my painting (which isn’t finished) and connect to my gut. … Four hours is pretty quick, amazingly enough, and I could have painted longer.”

So ........... here we go ... think about it and sign up now!

Have you already taken a Wisdom Painting workshop? Please do not hesitate to sign up for more than one painting session. You are at new levels every time you paint. With each new Wisdom Painting session, you learn more about yourself and the painting process. Everyday you are a new person with new experiences to be had, including new paintings to come.

THEME of this session: Release and Renewal

"All that matters is the quality of the self as it receives the experience. ... If you are completely open, your awareness alert and expanded, your mind free of old conditioning, then the now will appear to be magical." -- Deepak Chopra in his book, Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul.

In this workshop, we will focus on releasing the past in order to renew us to experience life anew.

Mary

The Flowering of Consciousness

I've watched a fantastic video by Eckhart Tolle, The Flowering of Consciousness, a two disc series. I'm reading his book right now too--A New Earth, Awakening to Your Life's Purpose. The point that sticks out to me is the idea of the pain-body. That is intriguing. I'm looking at how my pain-body reacts with other pain-bodies around me. Yikes, I think that it is acting out in some ways. Being aware is the first step in healing and dissolving the pain-body. This is really important work by Eckhart Tolle and I recommend both the DVD/video and the book

Desire vs. Want

I'm reading and doing the exercises in the book, Feel It Real. Today's exercise was so enlightening that I needed to, wanted to, or ah .... desired to share it. The exercise was to write down your beliefs on desire. My mother tells the story of when I was a little girl of me jumping up and down on the bed singing "I want a wagon- sagon ". I wanted a red wagon so badly back then. I never got it. My Mom's heart ached because she could not buy it for me. Here's what I learned this morning. Wanting is so much different than desiring. Reflecting back on my little girl experience, I realized that wanting never leads to manifesting. I went to the dictionary to find out why. Desire : v. 1. to hope or wish for ardently: crave 2. to ask for: request * syns : ache, crave, hanker, long, wish, yearn n. 1. a strong wish or longing: craving 2. a wish or petition Want : v. 1. to desire greatly: wish 2. to be deficient in: lack 3. to need: require 4. to be needy 5. to seek wit

Thoughts from the Book, Frequency

I'm reading a new book, Frequency, by Penney Peirce. I'm pondering a new thought from it today under her 9 Stages to Transformation. In stage 8: Relationship, Family, and Group Experience Are Revolutionized, she says: "You develop a new understanding of yin/receptive and yang/dynamic energy, as well as the right and left brain. You balance yourself with equal development of your receptive-intuitive-sourcing side and your active-focusing-creating side so your perception can be more fluid, creative, and perpetually renewed. As you understand the balance of yin and yang awareness and energy, you draw parallels between these qualities and male-female gender dynamics in relationships. You find a new awreness about what's possible in relationshipe between two internally balanced people, along with new behavior possibilities for both genders." My intrigue with this reading is the idea of sourceing vs. creating. I always looked at creating from the right brain-intuitive s
