Listening Painting Courses
Paint yourself into inner peace
In the Listening Painting Course, painting serves as a tool for freeing the mind, listening to yourself, and self-expression. You paint freely, meditatively, and intuitively. You slow down to listen inward, deepen your self-awareness, and allow creativity to unfold at its own pace.
The course also includes a personal one-on-one conversation (60 min), where you can release and process what the painting experience has brought up.
Sometimes, art emerges as a byproduct of the process – sometimes it doesn’t.
What matters is not the outcome, but the experience, the process, the act of creating, and the connection to yourself.
The method is based on:
– painting
– stillness
– personal, tailored guidance
Do you need prior experience?
You don’t.
You don’t need to be an artist or know how to paint or draw.
You may also be a professional artist and notice that in this process, technical skills are not immediately central. If you wish, you can later integrate your technical expertise into what unfolds during the course.
Duration and structure
The Listening Painting Course is offered as:
– 2 days
– 3 days
– or 6 days (when available)
You can participate in Listening Painting Courses alongside Vedic Art foundation courses.
Seasonal workshops are also organized throughout the year, inspired by the current time of year.
Who is this for?
This course is for you if you:
– are interested in intuitive and meditative painting
– long for space to listen to yourself
– want to create without performance pressure
I recommend, but do not require, that you have completed a Vedic Art foundation course, as it provides a basis for intuitive painting.
You will receive personal guidance regardless of your previous experience. Intuition is something everyone already has.
What are the summer courses like as an experience?
Sometimes painting is not just an activity, but a way to shift into a different rhythm. In the summer courses, we create a space where painting can unfold in its own time.
The days consist of guided work, personal painting time, conversations, and rest. You are invited to step out of everyday structures, allow creativity to open, and move at your own pace.
The rhythm of the days is calm.
At times we paint in silence, at times we take breaks. Outside the sessions, time is spent freely – together or in your own space.
In summer, we often work outdoors, in natural light, in the summer air and surrounded by greenery. The days allow both focused painting and restful being.
Many participants experience a sense that there is more time than in everyday life. Nothing needs to be rushed or achieved.
Setting
Courses take place in Fiskars Village, surrounded by nature, in a peaceful environment. A small group and a home-like atmosphere allow for focused work, personal guidance, and the possibility to move through your process without hurry or comparison.
Summer intensive (one week)
The summer intensive is for you if you want to give painting time over several days. We work based on the Vedic Art method, which has its roots in Indian Vedic tradition, but the core of the course is always your own process and what painting opens for you in this moment.
The process frees creativity, deepens your connection to yourself, and gently draws you out of everyday life in an engaging and meaningful way.
It is possible to stay on-site during the course and allow the experience to deepen.
During the course days, we may also share simple home-cooked meals. You can also bring your own food, cook yourself, or use local restaurants. We will discuss arrangements upon registration and finalize details on-site.
If you feel that your summer could include a few days where the creative process takes priority, you are warmly welcome to join.
