Collaborative Painting: Weekly Schedule 2 hours of painting with a fellow facilitator. This training is experiential, and lesson based. Those participating in this training must commit to a regular painting practice during this six-month period. Painting is required in this training because a facilitator cannot support others where they have not explored in their own process. Also, since this process is intuitively based, a strong relationship to the process and their intuition is essential. Cherie Ray has studied Point Zero painting with Michele Cassou for almost 20 years. She trains facilitators with Michele as well as facilitating at Mabel Dodge Luhan House in Taos, New Mexico, Esalen, and her studio in Houston, Texas. This training is limited to 12 participants to ensure the support and attention needed to gain a strong foundation in understanding creativity, intuitive painting, and facilitation.

What is being said by those who’ve taken this training:

“I’m so very grateful to you for introducing me to the unique experience of intuitive painting.  I stepped way outside my comfort zone to do it, and it transformed  my feelings about myself as a creative person. Although I felt scared at times, I was able to work through my fear of the unknown, knowing
 that I was in safe company with you as leader and/coach.” C.L.

“I would want someone to know that this is a deep dive into process painting a la Michele Cassou- more like a Master class and worth every minute whether or not he/she ever teaches – gaining a deeper understanding of process and self is invaluable. I appreciate the time to bond with my classmates for this extended period of time and know that I have support available and someone to paint with from now on.  The opportunities to have in depth discussion is so helpful in learning how others view this process.” T.N.

“I’d recommend this course to anyone looking to teach intuitive painting and/or deepen their own process. Cherie is a passionate, caring teacher and has put together a comprehensive program to pass on Michele Cassou’s work. We had a lot of painting time together and opportunities to observe and practice facilitating. Along the way we developed a loving, supportive community that has gone beyond this class. My life is richer for it.  Somehow you make it simpler or more understandable, with lots more permission and that’s a great example to see.”  F.B.

“This course has connected me to freedom in my creating which has transferred to a fresh sense of freedom in my life.”

“I loved the opportunity to do this course vitually. I found I could focus so much better at home without the concerns and expense of travel.”

“After this course I feel more myself, more open to others with a richer experience of connection.”

“I’m more willing to follow inspiration without worrying about the outcome.”

“A rich community of friends was created in this group. One of the best benefits of all.”
