The Painting Process Rediscovered: The Magic of Spontaneous Expression

For many of us, it is difficult to simply let go, create, and express ourselves. Programmed to fear judgment, we set narrow boundaries on our creativity. The “dragons” of product, meaning, and control limit our choices of subjects, colors, and forms. However, once we find Point Zero, the ground from which creation springs, we can push these fears aside and recapture the magic of spontaneous creation.

This work offers practical ways to dissolve creative blocks and find inspiration so that art becomes not a means to an end but a place we inhabit, a place to explore our true selves and the mystery of our lives.

Michele Cassou has created an original approach to painting as a tool for self-discovery and spiritual exploration. This workshop is a week of painting, support, stimulation, free play, and self-realization for artists and seekers of all stripes — educators, counselors, meditators — anyone with a thirst to revitalize the creative juices.

Michele Cassou, Cherie Ray, and other teachers facilitate this workshop.

Cherie Ray is a coach/workshop facilitator. Cherie has worked and studied the Point Zero Painting Process with Michele for over 20 years. She facilitates the Point Zero method from her Houston, TX studio and virtually around the world. www.cherieray.com
