I've been holding this workshop for 11 years on Monhegan Island with clinical psychologist Molly DeLaney who provides creative visualization techniques to help participants immerse themself in the higher vibrational energy of this tiny island 10 miles off the coast of Maine.
Step off the boat and back in time about 60 years, when life was simple and slower. The island is a half mile wide, by one and a half miles long and boasts the highest headlands on the East Coast at 165 ft above sea level and 12 miles of trails, as 3/4 of Monhegan Island is undeveloped, thanks to an association protecting the lands by Ted Edison in 1954, the youngest child of inventor Thomas Edison.
Everywhere you look is a 'painting waiting to be created' .

plein air painter - Monhegan Island - the island time forgot...
American Contemporary plein air painter.
The Monhegan Island workshop August 5 - 9 , 2013
If you are still thinking about this workshop, only a few spaces remaining.
About the island...
Be prepared to step back about 60 years in time, to when things were simpler, there was time to appreciate a sunrise or sunset, people took time to smell the roses...again and again.
The island is like nothing you've experienced, if you're a creative person, or would like to find out if you are - you'll experience a calmness, tranquility really, that stills the inner voice to a point where you can again hear the whisper of your soul. If you've already been to the island, you know how elusive it is to put the atmosphere and the state of mind you experience in mere words...
You would be surprised how many people who take this workshop remark that they've been following the notices for a few years and they're so excited to be finally doing it 'this year'.
If you're thinking about it, listen to that whisper and don't miss this opportunity.

Plein air painter - next workshop Monhegan Island
American Contemporary plein air painter.
And so what I've learned...
what I have realized...is that when people come to workshops and share their time with me, they may be there to further their painting, pick up a few tips, or take a trip to a neat location while doing something fun, or maybe even learn painting...but what happens is, because we all connect on a creative level, they make a transformation - we all do.
I'm always in awe when this happens. In a recent workshop a few weeks ago, I had a few people who had painted before, but just needed a confidence boost. One, at the end of the workshop made an audible sigh and had tears streaming down her face when she turned around. Her simple 'thank you' said a world of things...
I want you to know, I've been where you are. And the realization is, I like helping people to communicate, get in touch with their heart values, feel empowered that it's OK to be who they are,whether they want to be an artist or just learn that expressing ourselves creatively is a core need in our lives. With it, we can grow and mature - without it, we exist and just get on with our life. I'm no more special than anyone else. The secret is to be the best you possible. I love my life !
Take a minute to write down 5 things that make you feel so special you feel it with your heart. Spending time with family and friends is a given, so we won't include these.
In this example, you've already spent an entire day with everyone you love and said goodbye
If you had one day left on earth to do what you wanted for you - what would the 5 things be that would be the perfect day?
