As you paint\, you process your emotions and liberate yourself from the psychological and physical disease they may cause. This is a workshop for processing feelings through painting and group sharing. It is not a good space for finishing existing projects and using other mediums. \n\n\n\nBy intentionally focusing on the emotional process rather than the artistic product\, participants are able to unleash their creative powers and produce striking works\, while by sharing their creative process they gain the insight and wisdom often hidden in works created in a state of letting go. \n\n\n\nFor more information about Painting for Life and what you can expect during a session\, please explore this manual: \n\n\n\nPFL MANUAL\n\n\n\nZoom Link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/88037430513?pwd=sdXnXJ88cd8A4lw6gS8SvP1QaUcioN.1  \n\n\n\nParticipants are encouraged to drop-in for any session and attend as many sessions as they would like.\n\n\n\nSession Schedule:\n\n\n\nThe Painting For Life workshop on Zoom consists of a 1-hour painting session framed by a 30 minute opening circle (which can often be 45 minutes) and a 30 minute closing circle. \n\n\n\nOpening Circle – In the opening circle we build a safe and powerful We-Spacecommunity characterized by “presencing\,” sharing with honesty and integrity\, deep listening\, and resonating in harmony with each other. Noelle will start this opening circle by giving a quick prompting and end it with a 3-minute meditation before sending people off to paint for exactly 1 hour. \n\n\n\n1-hour Painting Session – Participants paint at home\, using cheap materials such as paper\, tempera paints\, watercolors\, acrylics\, or pastels\, Crayolas\, and even color pens. When the hour is over\, people take a picture of their painting and text it to Noelle before coming back to the Zoom room. \n\n\n\nClosing Circle – Noelle then shares each painting on the screen as people explore their process while the group may offer feedback and further insights get sparked. We end this closing circle with a group hugs as we shout “May all beings be happy!” thus fusing personal and collective healing together. \n\n\n\nHow to Register \n\n\n\nYou have two options to join: \n\n\n\n\nEvent Registration – Sign up for a specific class date that works for you\n\n\n\nMonthly Passes – Enroll for a full month of sessions\n\n\n\n\nChoose what fits your schedule best — join us for one session or commit to the full experience! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Creativity Program Facilitator \, \n Noelle Imparato\, PhD\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer URL:https://smithcenter.org/program/painting-in-community/ CATEGORIES:Arts & Creativity,Classes & Workshops,Visual Arts END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251230T073000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251230T080000 DTSTAMP:20251107T200429Z CREATED:20251107T200426Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251107T200429Z UID:10000854-1767079800-1767081600@smithcenter.org SUMMARY:LGBTQIA+ Morning Meditation DESCRIPTION:Come together as an LGBTQIA+ community for a weekly morning meditation sit.  \n\n\n\nWe will settle in for a few minutes\, then meditation (guided and silence) for 20 minutes and end with around the virtual circle with a few words of gratitude. \n\n\n\nNote: Because this is an online sit\, participants are encouraged to find space of relative quiet\, limiting the amount of interaction with others in the environment as much as possible.
