.lavender fields

This was a special day!

I hosted a Paint Experience session of Healing heART program with the participation of 60 beautiful women of the great Orlando area. I guided them through the process of painting a peaceful lavender field which in each step of it gave them the opportunity to see through a different point of view many of their life’s situations.

Many of the participants reported experiencing emotional relief from participating of this session, some of them who were dealing with anxiety and depression had the chance to unwind many of their preoccupations while engaging the therapeutic art tools and meditating during the painting process.

As usual, everyone starts very skeptical but, in the end, they are amazed by what their own hands are capable of creating, and by how much a painting process can be similar to life’s processes.
