PAINTING into the HEART of BEING
is an on going course embodying the Sephiroth, the ten dimensions of consciousness of the Qabalistic Tree of Life, the process of creation. Transformational Painting deepens the experience of these levels of consciousness. The course is facilitated by Susan Heinz and Majio.
Susan Heinz, astrologer and teacher, combines Qabalah and Tarot to create the setting and context the first Tuesday of each month for the Painting Circle. The TREE of LIFE is a symbol of universal wisdom and beauty, mapping of our potential, awakening us to a greater sense of who we are. In this momentous time of radical change, known as the paradigm shift, the Tree of Life teaches us how to be, not only as creators of our lives, but of life on this planet.
Majio deepens this practice of supporting the paradigm shift in weekly small groups with Transformational Painting. It is a practice to develop complete trust in the larger unfoldment of process which is moving through us as we sense and listen to inner direction. It anchors us to a much larger sense of who we are and the powers that move through us.
A supportive and reflective community has formed around this ancient yet innovative work. Many participants of PAINTING into the HEART of BEING have committed thirteen months, and there is space to join monthly or in three month sections. See flyer for syllabus.
Because the Tree of Life informs our life at the very core, any participation in the archetypes of Tree is a fruitful and informative. Qabalah as it is an integral part of our human journey whether we are aware of it or not. The first Tuesday of the month talks with the carefully designed home reflection and meditation before painting will be all that is necessary to set up engagement with your inner process. 
Through Picasa picasaweb.google.com/anavamistudio you can open to the web albums of the participants who want to share their process through paintings and poetry. We will be actively engaging in talks, meditations, reflections and creative process of painting, movement, sound and writing from September 2007 through October 2008, with three months off December, June and July.
It is not necessary to have any background in painting or Qabalah. We paint in acrylics on a 3’ X 4’ surface several times with each theme, continually transforming the image. The # number under the paintings refers to the week it was painted followed by the name of the Sephiroth. Capital letters after the week numeral indicate additional painted stages.
The Tuesday evening monthly talk with Susan Heinz is $30.
