Painting From The Source® With Aviva Gold - Spiritual Healing Through Painting

None of his artistic ability would have any foundation without the most important element of all: his attention to The Source. Under the tutelage of noted teacher AVIVA GOLD, utilizing a philosophy of art, movement, and complete release of ego, The Source completes the line from idea to execution. Gould learned to paint from this "vibration" -- to invest the canvas surface with something deeper than a portrait, or landscape: he had acquired the sensitivity to meaning beneath form; emotion in gesture; character in composition. Aviva Gold's intense course work was coupled with an entire openness to the body and spirit. The result was a new way of painting -- with the body as the brush. For his new attention to a life as a painter, this permitted Gould to develop a body of work that has an acumen for color and spirit, and an ethereal sense of the human hum. (from The Artpoint - Art and The People Who Make It)

"I lived and died and live again to go forth in the world with the courage to lead, to love, and to create. I have rediscovered the source of my creativity, laughter, and affection."

.... I feel empowered, creative, loved, nurtured, healed.

"I have "gained" my personal freedom... my sense of expression. I have accessed many parts of my creative soul which have been coming out in bits and pieces since early childhood. This course "brought it all together" for me. Not only will I paint, I will dance, I will write, I will teach and I will finally and forever more express my essence and being authentically!"

"Experiences that were most meaningful / powerful for me were --finding the painting itself, feeling the 'truth' of the painting in my body and having a chance to express the darkness and the light."

"Painting from the Source has made a profound contribution to a paradigm shift - what would my life look like if my energy were not so taken up with trying to be 'perfect.'"

"(I had) the ability and encouragement to be free to be myself without any possibility of criticism."

"I have named my wounds, I have emotionally owned and accepted them. My life can go on. My creativity has been realized and released."

"My powerful inner journey - awakening to truths and accepting all of me: I am multi-dimensional and it's all perfect!"

"This has been a shape shifting for me. "

"...the medium of painting was more powerful than I ever imagined. I learned to trust my goddess-given creativity and discovered the artist within me."
