About this Event
Have you ever had a profound experience that seems just beyond the grasp of your conscious, logical mind? Are you seeking to express and integrate this experience through art? This workshop is a calling for those yearning to express the inexpressible. Whether hindered by self-doubt or criticism, feeling it’s stopping you from exploring your artistic side, it’s time to leave those fears behind.
Discover intuitive painting, and learn to let your emotions and bodily sensations take the lead. It’s an exercise in overcoming fear and judgement to discover the exhilarating freedom of self-expression. Here, the journey of painting matters more than the final piece—it’s about the liberating experience of creating art uninhibitedly. Through a blend of embodiment exercises, meditations, and music, we’ll help you enter a state of free-flowing creativity, also known as “the zone”. This approach is particularly beneficial for those looking to integrate psychedelic experiences into their art, providing a unique avenue for expression.
We welcome all skill levels, from novices wondering where to begin, to experienced artists eager for a fresh approach.

Dr Mar Estarellas is a postdoctoral researcher at the Consciousness and Cognition Lab at the University of Cambridge. As a painter, neuroscientist and nature enthusiast, she is interested in researching the importance of Nature and holistic health in living and dying healthily, for us and the Earth. She believes it is through the act of creation and engaging in new, beautiful and sometimes challenging ways that gives us a new perspective, a purpose, a window of opportunity - beneficial for our own and Nature's health. She is passionate about exploring life and existence through creation and the expression of beauty, where Nature and Mind act as the landscapes of playful investigation. Paint offers a means of expression beyond language.
