Workshops Currently Enrolling
Painting from the Divine Feminine
Instructor: Batya Weinbaum (weinbaumbatya@gmail.com)
When: Friday mornings at 9 am EST
​
A special way to give, greet and connect with friends and loved ones in a spiritual way, and to honor your sacred ties with others in symbolic ways. You will need a notebook, pens, and watercolors or color pencils. I will give sketching instructions in a technique I learned from a Chilean painter in the 80s. We will explore how the archetype connects with our psyche and then color or paint. Goddesses explored will include Durga, Kali, Ixchel, and Inanna.
​
Testimonials: "Don't think you can draw? No worries! This class is about feeling it, not getting it 'right". Great information about the Goddesses from a very knowledgeable instructor. When I connected to the divine being of the day, I found attributes that I could use in my everyday life!"
- Reverend Jenni Vinecourt (Church of the Angels, Cleveland)
