Let’s Talk RESISTANCE

Hello Creative Soul,

Let's talk RESISTANCE...

Resistance hates when we try new things. It's real and it is revealed in all sorts of unique ways, especially when it come to creative expression. It shows up as boredom, exhaustion, scrolling, avoidance, procrastination, frustration and reluctance to begin or complete.

What if we had a really comfortable environment for resistance to be explored? What if we got curious about our resistance instead of shutting it down? What if we made some space around our resistance to get to know it better? What if we looked at our resistance, not as a barrier to progress, but as meaningful communication knowing that it carries underlying emotions worthy of further exploration?

In the studio we do not aim to eliminate resistance but to creatively work with it, using it as a guide to dive deeper into a painter's inner experience. Haven't picked up a paintbrush in years, never attended an art class, no idea how to mix colors? We have really creative ways to get around all of these sticky moments.

Progress comes when resistance is recognized as a natural part of our journey. Creative expression can serve as a transformative vehicle for exploring and processing it.

Are you feeling resistant?

Then this Summer, might be the perfect time to paint with us :)

Carve out time and inspiration will follow.

What we are learning: Turning off our phones and having two hours to create every week resets our nervous system and helps us settle in.

What we are curious about: What's on the other side of perfection?

What we are excited for: Monthly(ish) make-up groups and drops in's on the first or second Friday of every month(ish). Beginning this September. More information below.
