Intuitive Art unlocks the mysteries of the inner self. Using guidance and practical techniques, learners will work through the aspects of delayering within their practical work. Intuitive Art is a gentle approach to creativity examining our feelings, imagination and wellbeing as inspiration. Using and exploring mixed-media materials and mindfulness. It's a beautiful, playful experience with a focus on enjoying the process - there's no such thing as mistakes. Supporting exploration without judgement and bringing about greater clarity. Intuitive art provides quick, tangible answers allowing learners to easily tap into their intuition for guidance. I believe that everyone has immense creativity, and that we can all grow through the creative process. The exploration of the self this way can be a fascinating facet to explore elements of the self that can only be experienced through intuitive creativity It can be simple and easy or complex, but it’s always so approachable
