What my subconscious wants to paint

Intuitive painting is helping me to get back to my creative core.

I’d like to think I’m a very down-to-earth kind of person. No woo-woo for me please.
Yet, here I am with five other people, dancing to music with lyrics about being part of a tree, waving my arms like tree branches in the wind, and LOVING it.
After the dancing we meditate for a while, retreating deep into ourselves. Then, we start to paint. You paint whatever comes up for you. When you get stuck, the instructor guides you by asking questions.

I ended up dancing like a tree because I was talking to a friend, and told her that I felt disconnected from my creativity. I had been working for others for so long that I didn’t know what -I- wanted to create anymore. That friend recommended intuitive painting, so I signed up.
