Experiential Painting Weekend 

With Debbie Purdy, ATR/BC

Debbie Purdy, ATR/BCThis weekend will help you connect with your inner child & spirit.  Explore painting in a safe & nurturing group. Learn how to work with creative blocks. Feel the joy of your authenticity. No talent required, only an adventurous spirit. Come discover your authenticity & creative flow - develop your intuition. Based on the work of Michele Cassou. (Life, Paint & Passion, Point Zero)

 

The Method of Experiential Painting is a process of letting your intuition lead you on a journey. By being totally immersed in the creative flow brought about by the movement of paint and brush on paper, you gain a sense of mastery that comes from a deeper source than skill or technique. Through painting you reclaim what is authentic .

Those seeking to go beyond self imposed creative blocks, and access new sources of energy will find this a helpful method of self-exploration and spiritual discovery. The paintings are viewed as a record of the process, not a product. They are not critiqued, displayed or interpreted. Discussion and theory of process take place before and after painting.


Although the therapeutic value of this process is profound, it often evokes
strong physical and emotional release, and is not a format for treating
serious emotional conditions.
 

"This class is wonderfully freeing. because there is no right or wrong.
 Everything flows. Everyone should come and experience this way of getting in touch with their own inner self through art." Pat G.
 
 "This is a truly life changing process. It is so freeing, so energizing and
 so immediate.” Annette S
 
 “ I found it so healing and exhilarating and it carried on into every aspect
 of my life.” Bette C.


Debbie Purdy is a licensed clinical professional counselor and board
certified art therapist in Illinois. She holds degrees from two art schools,
the Rhode Island School of Design, and the Art Institute of Chicago. She is a teacher of The Cassou Painting Experience founded by Michelle Cassou and described in the books, Life, Paint and Passion and Point Zero.
