INTUITIVE POWER PAINTING WEEKEND
Scheduled for Weekend of March 13-14 at my studio in Portland, Oregon, both days 10 to 5.

Intuitive Power Painting lets you do all three while freely playing with paint and having a lot of fun. Make no mistake this is a life changing weekend, you will learn a lot in these two short days. You learn about yourself, your intuition and what is needed to open up your life.

How much stronger you are in the world when you can be your authentic self. My goal is to help you discover this for yourself.

This is the Power Painting Creative experience everyone needs because it teaches you how to be, inspired, intuitive and creative again. You learn the basics of navigating the worlds within you and safely and gently listening to the guidance of your authentic self.

I look forward to you joining me at this weekend of self discovery and empowering your life.

*BEFRIENDING YOUR SHADOW* New Weekly Study Group – Starts Thursday Feb 11 – Mar 12, 2010

Posted in Authentic Self, Class, Creative Ways to Empopwer Your Life, Depression, Discovering Your Shadow, Healing, Inner Wisdom, Personal Growth, Self Awareness, Self Discovery, Self Healing, Self Help, Shadow, Support Group for Women with tags , , , , , on January 11, 2010 by Carolyn Winkler

DISCOVERING THE GIFTS OF YOUR SHADOW WEEKLY STUDY GROUP

This is a study group for you to befriend your shadows by taking whatever person or situation is bothering or disgusting you the most and turning it into the gift you need.

Once you understand what that is, and how you can benefit from it, it transforms and you are no longer bothered or disturbed and can now use it in your life. You can never have complete peace until you learn to do this.

Based on the work of Debbie Ford and her book “The Dark Side of The Light Chasers,” we will study how our Shadow helps us become who we are and holds the gifts to empower our lives. Discovering your shadows and its gifts is probably the most freeing experience you can have. As Debbie Ford describes it, “Imagine trying to hold a beach ball under water, how much energy that takes and when it gets loose it pops up and hits you in the face.” This is how your Shadow works, it is always there trying to give you the balance your life needs and pops up to hit you until you finely get the message your life needs.

Group meets weekly, Thursday evenings 7 to 9 pm or afternoons 1 to 3, for 6 weeks. Cost is $35 dollars per week, can be paid weekly or at beginning of group. Group meets at my studio in North Portland. Group is limited to 8 people.

Please check my website www.spiritmaskjourneys.com for more information. To register please email me and be sure to include the afternoon or evening time you prefer.

*6 WEEK VISUAL JOURNALING STUDY GROUP FOR WOMEN* Feb 2nd thru Mar 9th, 2010

NEW VISUAL-JOURNALING STUDY GROUP FOR WOMEN
- Study Group

Testimonial – “I have spent most of my adult life trying to build a house for my soul. Through counseling and relationships I had collected the boards, the pipes, the wire, and the nails. But no matter how many times I stacked these materials together the best I could do was build some kind of lean-to. It was a good enough place to weather a storm but nothing like the house I wanted. The Intuitive Painting class I took with Carolyn gave me the stone I needed to build a strong foundation. And the Journaling class gave me the saw and hammer I needed to not only build a house for my soul but a home I am proud to share with the other’s.” — Tammy Gaylord

A Visual-Journaling Study Group is a small group of women coming together for 6 weeks to access and explore their emotions and find the messages, wisdom and guidance they carry within. They learn to recognize, shift and transform emotions by first receiving an image and then using developing questions to understanding the meaning the image it is trying to give. Images express what words cannot. By setting a clear intention, centering in body awareness, using guided visualization and then drawing the images that come, you are able to understand and make changes on all three levels needed for transformation, body, mind and cellular.

Our feelings communicate what our life needs and every emotion we have has an image attached. By accessing these images, our inner wisdom is brought to light and we are able to reduce stress, release anger, resolve conflicts, get in touch with our emotions and give voice to our soul. The body always knows and guides you to the place you need to go. Each week you will learn something new.

Week 1- Access and Express Your Emotions.
Week 2- Access, Release and transform your Stress-producing emotions.
Week 3- Let your images speak and tell you a story.
Week 4- Overcoming your fears.
Week 5-Resolving your inner conflicts.
Week 6-Visual Journaling as a lifelong practice.

Anyone can do this. You don’t need to know anything about using art materials or how to draw. You just need the desire and courage to explore, and open up the dialogue between your inner and outer worlds. Unlike regular journaling that uses language and the left brain, this is a direct right brain connection to your inner world.

Group meets weekly for 6 weeks, Tuesday evenings form 7 to 9, limited size 5 women. Please check my blog for the current schedules of new groups forming. Cost is $35 each weekly session for a total of $210. You will need a few inexpensive art supplies.

Welcome to the last of my Intuitive Painting Weekend Workshops for 2009, the second weekend of November 7th-8th. This weekend is for people that want to express themselves authentically, be more creative and discover what is in their heart. This process is about letting go and painting with the right side of your brain, so no experience necessary you already know and have everything you need.

Experienced artists and non-artists alike benefit from this creative weekend. Studies prove that how we feel about ourselves effects how much joy and inspiration we get out of life. This workshop lets you play, find joy and get back on an authentic track. Playing freely with the paint allows you to reach deeper parts of yourselves and listen to what they have to say. So if you want to create a more authentic life this is the weekend for you.

I have done this process with many people over the years and it never fails to give you exactly what you need. This is a free, non-judgmental, playful way to re-connect with who you really are. One of my former students said it best, “My life was like a submarine and this opened up my hatch.”

Testimonials

I cannot tell you how much I appreciated your kindness and guidance this weekend. I love the work that we did. I hope to do some more work with you in the future. Thank you!
“It was a great experience that I would recommend to anybody interested in letting go. Carolyn leads you through this experience very gently.” Paula Austin, Web Designer

All art materials and a copy of my e-book INTUITIVE PAINTING; Art to Empower Your Life are included. The class size is limited to 8 to insure that everyone has the right support. It goes from 10am to 5pm both Saturday and Sunday with a break for lunch. Just wear old clothes you can get paint on and bring a sac lunch.

Private PSYCH-K® Sessions on Wednesdays

Posted in PSYCH-K® Sessions on April 7, 2009 by Carolyn Winkler

thailand-2007-1111

I am now offering private PSYCH-K® sessions on Wednesdays to help people reprogram and change old beliefs that are holding them back.   PSYCH-K® sessions use your own body/mind connection  to reprogram and change permanently old beliefs no longer working in your life.   Our beliefs create our life and unless we change them our life will not change.  This is a fast, positive way for you to make the changes you want to make and then check  right in the session if it is complete.

What a PSYCH-K® session is like.  First  we talk about what it is you are wanting to change in your life and then we get to a statement that will change the belief.  Then we ask permission of your unconscious by muscle testing, do the balance and then retest to see if it is complete.  It is easy, effective and makes needed changes right on the spot.  What I like most about PSYCH-K® is when it reprograms the belief you want to change it also goes back and reprograms beliefs attached to it so you change several at one time. Often the change is made in just one session.

I am also available for PSYCH-K® sessions using the internet if you have SKYPE.  So if you have a camera on your computer and are linked in with SKYPE we can do a session by just scheduling a time.  If there is an issue you would like to work on contact me and we can set something up.  I have dedicated Wednesdays to Psych-K sessions.
Below is a testimonial about how it works from one of my current clients.  You can also google PSYCH-K  and find out more.

Client Testimonial
“I love Psych-K because I totally don’t believe in it and it works. Not only does it work really fast, you get to test it.  Your body tells you if it is working and you get to see the results.  You don’t need to understand it or know anything about how it works to get results. Carolyn is an amazing women and the Psych-K sessions are one of my most favorite things I do for myself. “  Havi Brooks.

If this sounds like something that you could use, let me know and we can set up an session either at my studio or on the internet.  I would love to work with you.

DISCOVER YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF WEEKEND RETREAT- APRIL 25TH-26TH

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , on April 6, 2009 by Carolyn Winkler

After taking a little time off I am again offering my Intuitive Painting Weekend to find your authentic self. This retreat is for anyone wanting to know themselves better and create a more authentic life.
Anyone can do this, no experience required. We all have an authentic self wanting to communicate with us and express itself, it is just a matter of giving ourselves the time intention to listen to what it has to tell us. This weekend retreat of freely playing with paint helps you discover that authentic part of yourself, the part that is there no matter what. Without a plan, without judgement, without a right or wrong way to do it you are free to explore and discover who you really are. An authentic life is built from the inside out and unless we pay attention to our unique inner wisdom it is difficult to live an authentic life. In todays busy complicated world we are bombarded with outside influences and other peoples wants and demands. This makes it difficult to know our own inner self and what it is we really want and need in our life. Intuitive Painting is a fun, stress free way to bridge the gap, find your inner wisdom and bring it out into the world. This will be on of the most empowering weekends you have ever spent.

One of my former students said it best, “My life was like a submarine and this opened up my hatch.” If you are an experienced painter or a total beginner that knows nothing about art this process can help you be more authentic in your life. This weekend lets you to know when your on track and when your not, and most important how to know the difference so you can apply it to your life. Join me for a weekend retreat of discovering your authentic self and opening up your life. All you need is an open mind, an open heart and willingness to to explore, I provide the rest.

Weekend Workshop Saturday and Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm. Includes required E-Book INTUITIVE PAINTING ART TO EMPOWER YOUR LIFE and all art materials. Bring sack lunch both days, wear old clothes and I will do the rest.
Location: Spirit Mask Studio, North Portland. Limited to 10 participants.

To register or ask questions email info@spiritmaskjourneys.com
Or Call 503 734-6516

Student Testimonial

“What a treat to see how the painting evolved!! I can’t thank you enough for the experience. I feel calmer, happier and much more in touch with my joyful 6 year old self. It was so freeing for me to find that place of pure joy, no expectation, and just play. It was also so instructional for me to feel the energy sink to my feet when I started to develop an agenda/judgement about what I was doing.
Honestly, Carolyn, it was one of the best weekends I’ve had in a looooong time (and the best money I have ever spent) and I look forward to working with you again soon.”
