Breathing through the night: a painting intensive for Winter

10 July,2023 @ 5:00 pm - 14 July,2023 @ 6:30 pm

| $160

 

A soul-building activity over five evenings

with artist Fiona Campbell

 

‘Colours are the breath of the living soul’

Dr Margarethe Hauschka

 

This online series over 5 evenings brings the health-bringing forces of the harmonious breath into our souls and bodies through painting the cycle of the night.

Based on a classic exercise called Painting as an Exercise for Breathing from the Hauschka art therapy training, we will paint the cycle of light and darkness from sunset to sunrise using colour and verse. 

This is a deep breathing activity, an artistic contemplative ideal for enlivening the inner and outer chill of Winter. We breath in colour, and then breathe out its complementary in a transforming process that  enlivens both the life body and soul. In this way, we bring our innermost being  into connection with nature,  moving gently between the two.

Who is it for? 

For anyone who feels the need for soul nourishment at this time of year. The exercises support our mental health and overall wellbeing by harmonising the breath, easing our tensions and bringing our polarities into balance. 

You don’t have to be an experienced painter to find nourishment in this series. You can use pastels, wet-on-wet or wet-on-dry techniques.
