Introductory level.
Program geared toward women's styles of self-expression.
No spiritual lecturing, no recipes for happiness - just art, more art, and listening to your gut and senses.
Five participants max
Intuitive art
is a process disconnected from the intellect, from our addiction to plans and goals.
We mute our nasty inner juge and trust our gut when it says: "I know".
We don't ask: "is this the right thing to do?", "what will people think?" We simply do it, weaving play and dream. As a child would, unafraid, we know what is meant to be.
Intuitive art is a different experience for every person
"A step into the unknown"
"A mediation on self-compassion"
"A voyage to invisible worlds"
"A dance on my own rhythm"
"A primal flow of inner wisdom"

"I grew up in forêt de Grésigne. I moved to Canada and taught adults for twenty years, in Vancouver.
Once an empty nester, I flew back home and opened les Arteliers. I offer a safe space where to tap into your inner richness and power. Relax and trust yourself.
My motto: French food, wine, sunshine, art and slow life."
