And no one can tell you it isn’t true.And that’s why there’s an energy\, an excitement\, a “power” in it.So many “official” stories are not personal stories but stories of power: “Who’s got it?How did they get it” How do I get it back?” \n\n\n\nBut you have power – in your story.And here you are invited to write / tell from your story.It doesn’t have to be a Big Moment\, but it could be.It could involve a moment\, a chance encounter with a person\, a place\, an animal.A witness to a new life or a certain death.It’s yours to tell. No one else can. \n\n\n\nWhen we reach inside to know our stories –(not outside to the theories and threats posing as stories) – we change ourselves in the knowing.From the inside out we begin again… \n\n\n\nJoin Madonna Hamel\, Kevin Wesaquate and Joseph Naytowhow as they each guide us through the many days of our lives to find that one moment that was authentically us.

Are you looking for some balance to your work focussed world? Do you feel compelled to make a leap but that voice of fear is holding you back? For now\, give voice to your creativity and acknowledge your inner nature through process painting. Using humble materials amidst a group of supportive peers\, both non-artists\, and artists alike will find the Nature in Me© painting process truly transformational. Whether deliberating over significant decisions\, healing from an illness\, or finding your footing on a new path\, this process yields incredibly rich results: messages from deep within and awe-inspiring gifts from which to benefit for a lifetime. This is a self-inquiry process like no other! \n\n\n\nFor Would-be Creatives… \n\n\n\nHave you ever wanted to paint but didn’t know how to begin? Are you an artist experiencing a blockage? Does an inner voice prompt you to dig deeply to tap the mystery of your creative flow\, your life force\, the Source? It’s time to awaken the artist within you! Nature in Me© Process Painting allows one to authentically feel\, explore core archetypes and express personal imagery necessary for powerful transformation!With the use of simple materials and the option of other unique  techniques in a supportive environment\, participants embark upon a rich and life changing personal journey of discovery. Based on Aviva Gold’s work\, Painting from the Source\, (www.paintingfromthesource.com)\, this process will benefit both non-artists and artists who wish to fruitfully further their inner dialogue and/or rejuvenate their creative practices. Space is limited. Must be 18 years of age to register. All materials supplied. \n\n\n\nFor Artists… \n\n\n\nThe impulse to paint for many of us is insistent. It never leaves\, regardless of whether or not we pay attention to it. Some of us\, however\, get stuck at some point or never know how to begin. Nature in Me©Process Painting gifts us with a lifelong practice of self-inquiry through paint\, a means to stay in touch with one’s authentic creative life force. If you know of anyone who might benefit from attending this retreat experience\, please have them get in touch with me. \n\n\n\nAlthough this  retreat is not solely about ‘nature’ as we think of it\, it  encourages us to re-connect to Mother Nature\, all aspects\, and provides an opportunity to encounter in a safe environment one’s own nature\, expressive capacity\, blockages\, archetypes\, and the need for numinous mystery in our lives. This practice can lead to emotional clarity\, and can be deeply healing. Each registrant will begin a personal journey of discovery all their own. Contact me with any questions you may have.
