Drawing on the Body: Body Paint Healing
Discover how the paintbrush can become a divining rod to reveal internal
bodily states, and how the transformative power of body painting can be
combined with shamanic, energetic, and intuitive healing techniques to
release stuck energy and vitalize the spirit. Explore the power of color
and symbolic imagery. Find the keys to intuitive vision and nurturing touch
in this hands-on workshop.
Everyone is invited to expose as much of their body for painting as they are
comfortable with. We celebrate the variety of the human body and the
diversity of people's artistic expression. Participants in both workshops
should be prepared to paint and be painted. I provide brushes and high
quality paints for use in the workshop. All materials used are safe and
nontoxic, water-based and easy to remove.
How to Change Your Skin: Body Paint Alchemy
A brief illustrated presentation on global traditions of body art provides inspiration for this hands-on introduction to body painting as a ritual of transformation. Participants are guided to discover personal markings and colors, and helped in using professional grade materials and techniques to manifest inner powers on the surface of the skin. Finally, we give consideration to movement and presence, to how the body painting is performed.
