Wild Heart Painting
Through discussion and painting you are introduced to the wonder of your
creativity. You will be guided and supported as you connect to your innate
creative source as a means of authentic self-expression. This powerful and
transformative process invites passion, play, and purpose. All you need is a
willingness to open your heart and explore.
The program begins with dialogue and the concepts that make painting for
process unique. Within the first hour you begin painting using a rich array
of succulent colors and fine brushes. You will discover that painting can be
a joyful sensual experience.
Elisabeth Keely Wilson captures the experience of the creative process and
describes it as, "Opening to the mystery of myself, I am asked to enter the
unknown and to follow my instincts. Hidden within the cloud of unknowingness
resides a presence which is constantly guiding me toward my true self."1
When you explore your creativity you may be surprised...you may be
delighted...you may be WILD...you learn to trust. Often participants leave
the workshop feeling a new sense of freedom.

Wild Heart Altar Screens are folding collages that can be placed on a table, or as part of a personal altar, and can be folded for storage and travel. They are an exceptional form of personal expression and can provide a visual reminder to connect to and honor that which is meaningful in your life. Many participants elect to create these in memory of a special event or person.

Collage for the Wild Heart: An Intuitive and Collaborative Process Journal Project
This special project of Wild Heart Art is a year-long exchange that supports each individual's ongoing creative practice. Participants select their own theme, make their journal covers, and three inside pages. The journal then passes throughout the group on a rotation schedule with each person completing art in each journal. At the end of the year there is a reception and showing of all the journals for family and friends to share in this amazing journey. The journal then returns to its original creator.
In the beginning everyone meets to go over the details necessary to ensure a successful program. Other gatherings throughout the year are fun but optional. Attending at least one Wild Heart Art program prior to participation in the program is required so that everyone has an understanding of the "process" approach.
The project that is now in progress. If you are interested in participating in the next project beginning in 2009, please email kay for details.

Mandala Heart Art
Mandalas are considered sacred art. Found in many traditions since ancient
times, the circular image becomes a pathway for self-expression, insight,
healing, and introspective meditation or prayer. Like other programs at Wild
Heart Art, you will be guided and supported throughout the creation of your
personal Mandala. In fostering an atmosphere that invites contemplation,
spontaneity, and creativity, you connect with the inner voice of the
heart as it incubates what needs to be born. All you need reveals itself.
