Meera’s Art Therapy & Painting TRAINING
With the Meera art Foundation Team
-
This training is perfect for anyone wanting to explore their inner world through creativity or those interested in helping others do the same. Alongside painting, we'll incorporate meditation, dance, body exercises, group dynamics, therapeutic activities, and personal sharing. No prior painting experience is required—just bring your openness and curiosity!
Painting serves as a mirror, reflecting our unconscious motivations and tendencies. It allows us to release what’s hidden within and offers healing for our hearts.
In the first part of the training, we start with Primal Painting, where we shed everything that blocks our creative expression and awaken the song within us.
Next, we delve into Self Portrait, moving past our superficial masks to truly see ourselves. With Meera's unique approach, we bypass our mind's judgments and discover our inner beauty and strength. We explore our roots and learn to deeply affirm and embrace who we are.
In the second part of the training, we embrace Nature Painting. We’ll spend our time outdoors, painting in serene apple orchards or by peaceful creeks in enchanting forests. Instead of merely copying the scenery, we’ll dance and sing with the trees, learning from nature how to live in a state of constant 'yes,' embracing each moment fully.
The training is conducted in English, with Spanish translation available if needed.

“I want art to be more ordinary, more a part of everybody’s life, so I teach people to paint like a child. In the early years, a child’s creativity contains no fear, no anxiety about the opinions and judgements of others. His only concern is to have fun. That’s the essential starting point: helping people recapture their creative expression. Once people start experiencing the simple joy of painting, then everybody can express themselves through art - there are no exceptions...Once you take away the fear that what you are doing is wrong, then there is only adventure.”
