The painting & gardening theme ...
Gardening can be seen as an act of self-love, trust and nurturing...
& we'll be gardening in our painting and wellbeing sessions! ...from seeds to tender shoots and buds to blossoms.
Feel inspired and liberated in these 4 sessions, gently unfurling, stretching, throwing perfectionism to the winds!
whilst learning about the process of intuitive painting - exploring in colour, line, shape, rhythm, form, texture...
We ’ll be exploring the nature themes of planting, growing, flowering and blossoming, literal, symbolic and spiritual
with intuitive painting, art exercises, meditation, wellbeing practices, EFT, poetry, music, Qigong, movement & more...
To inspire wonder & surprise and to release self-judgement even a little more …and more…
combining a heart-centred approach to painting which spills over into embracing life with gentleness, intuition, celebration and friendship
– within and without.
A wonderful way to meet new like-hearted friends, too!
We'll be painting, sharing and exploring together via zoom and you will need some paper and pencils, paints, water...
any art materials you like to use - cheapy ones are absolutely fine.
One large canvas is the only other investment for you to make (these can be bought quite cheaply)
as one element each week will be layering on the same canvas, engaging in and observing the transformation, evolution and surprise!
Please do contact me if you'd like more information
No art experience necessary - often, for intuitive painting, the less experience we have, the better!
Also, perfect for introverts and HSPs!
I completely understand how it can feel to be in a group, so there's no pressure at all to speak or contribute/show your paintings...
but you might find that you feel at ease and would like to.
All is fine :)

A little bit on the premise of this course:
‘If we are seeking to live in a more peaceful world, then peace must begin inside our own hearts’ – Mooji
All healing is a return to our natural state, one of wellbeing and peace, and grace unfolding …
When you are at peace and in harmony, then wherever you go a garden will grow.
Feed your soul, feed your soil. We have natural immunity when we feed our soul…and seedlings prosper 😊
radiating our own frequency, radiating waves.
What humanity needs is happy people.
Your joy is your contribution to humanity. The better care you take of yourself, the better care you take of humanity. – Alan Cohen
Healing and growing is abundance. – Lee Harris
Being ever more abundantly who we truly are.
I cultivate an intention through presence, this seed is sown… a new awareness…
Intention from a divine, listening & receiving space, not from the personal 'will' or 'efforting'
There will be a gardening/wellbeing/life analogy for each session – beginning with our inner experiences…
So within, So without

The weekly sessions - themes
Session 1
Preparing the soil, clearing and creating space for the new – in our painting experience and life!
Our own life, joys, aliveness, energies, clearing the space for infinite possibilities
To connect within, identify dreams and blocks and begin to release.
Session 2
Recognising, cultivating, and loving the seeds already within us
I cultivate an intention, I sow this seed…a new awareness… taking a tiny seed and growing it into a lush garden
Inspiration from quote/text/opening page at random and reading a sentence/word – a little seed to grow
Session 3
New shoots, beginning, nurturing, learning, gently, slowly, in own time…
Exciting new growth and visibility, strengthening roots below, grounding, tentative, patience, space to ‘Be’ what we need to be, protection, tenderness, noticing any ‘weeds’ or stronger growing plants taking over… clearing….
Glory of showing up and authentic expression, shining our light for ourselves and others too…bees, distributing, pollination, gift of nectar, shade...
‘Don’t over-garden your Being, leave some wild spaces’ -Mooji (and also spaces/contrast/pauses within our paintings)
Session 4
Buds to Blossoms and celebration - Blossom and then returning to the earth, nature cycle
Daily, monthly, yearly, lifetime… renewal, gratitude, natural expression, one with nature as our days, our lives… gentleness, beauty, rhythm….

This course went so beautifully last year
& this year there will be new blooms, art exercises and elements added :)
Some truly beautiful paintings evolving over the weeks..
on one large canvas
So grateful for wonderful comments & kind words from course attendees last year...
The sessions have been an unplugging of a backlog of procrastination and self doubt, I have been painting more than usual, trying out the new painting methods and sharing it with others online.
Utterly blessed to have found such kindred spirits and Rowena has been a great teacher, she has introduced poetry and music that has given me goosebumps- especially the ‘lost words blessings’. I felt included in the sessions and was given space to express myself.
Lots of laughs and supporting each other, freedom to join in or sit out as no judgement either way. Looking forward to seeing the fruits of my little seedlings that have been planted and am already seeing green shoots!
Rowena Scotney is an amazing and inspiring artist. Her passion for beauty and nature, combined with a curiosity and sense of wonder, blend beautifully with her poetic soul and empathetic heart. All these qualities make her, as well, a remarkably effective and inspiring teacher.
This course has helped me to let go (a little!) of trying to make everything 'pretty' all the time. And that is hugely freeing! And with regard to painting over our canvas, even when we love something we did ~ it taught me to trust in the process (letting go and being spontaneous).
I looked forward to Wednesdays! Thank you for hosting such a memorable experience, I learnt some new techniques and found some new friends too!
This course exceeded my expectations ~ which were high to begin with, because I have been take an ongoing workshop with Rowena Scotney (Intuitive Painting, Grace & Joy) and knew to expect marvelous ideas, and beautiful poetry and music, EFT, among other delights!
