The Painting Experience with Stewart Cubley

Process painting sets forces in motion that facilitate personal transformation—catalyzing and accelerating each person’s unique path of growth and individuation. In this nonverbal practice you’re given opportunities to experience creativity directly, beyond the mind. Process painting is compatible with other practices, such as meditation or therapy, but distinct in its approach.

San Rafael is a sunny town about half an hour north of San Francisco, just across the Golden Gate Bridge. The painting studio is located downtown, with nearby parking and easy access to a variety of restaurants and accommodations.

"Something touched, between us and the universe. It does not always happen. But when it does, we know forever where we live, no matter where we sleep, or eat our dinner or sit at the table and write words on paper." -~ Mary Oliver, From Long Life

Your tuition includes all art materials, over 12 hours of facilitated painting sessions, group discussion circles in supportive community, a video presentation about creativity and the practice of art as process.

We'll supply all the art materials you'll need for the week as well as an apron to protect your clothing.

We ask that you work with the materials provided rather than bringing other painting supplies. Chairs or stools will be available.

We recommend that you bring the following items:

• comfortable shoes for moving and standing
• a water bottle, to stay hydrated
• a notebook or a journal, if you think you might like to take notes or write between sessions.
• If you’ve been working with a facilitator online or in a previous workshop, bring your unfinished painting with you
