PAINTING
PORTALS
✦ ✦ ✦✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
A playful workshop for curious souls, painting portals is a gentle gateway into self-inquiry and the world of artistic creation. In it, we’ll use watercolours as a tool of divination and reflection. Like watching clouds in the sky, or tea leaves in a cup, we’ll pull forth images from within the paint to ponder and make meaning of, all while tapping into our creativity in a space that is free from judgement and results.
Spring/Summer workshop dates coming soon.

"Amber created a safe and inspiring environment to step into portal making. I loved connecting with the group and left feeling uplifted and with beautiful portals that I can turn to when meditating."

"I just wanted to say thank you again so much for last night. I feel so lucky to have been able to attend!! That practice really helped me tap into something inside myself that has been dormant for some time now, I woke up today feeling so energetically recharged and refreshed. Thank you, thank you!!"

"Thank you for hosting and teaching us about the watercolor portals! You did an amazing job and clearly teaching comes naturally to you. I think similar to meditation retreats or energy work the learning, reflection, and engagement from the portal session has continued to flow and work its magic."

"Making these portals put me in psychedelic headspace that I didn't know could come from making art. I'm keen to combine this practice with my other spiritual and meditation rituals."
