Kamloops United Church ~ a Centre for Community and Spiritual Discovery invites you to:

Finding Peace and Purpose Through Intuitive Painting

“I help participants achieve creative clarity and holistic fulfilment
as they play in the wonder and joy of paint.”

Workshop Date: Oct. 26

Facilitator – Dawn Burn, Painter (See bio below.)

About This Workshop:

This three-hour workshop is offered as an Access Point to Intuition. Participants will experience creativity as a heart-centred practice that is accessible to all with the following benefits:

The Benefit to You:

• Feeling an Aligned Sense of Purpose. You will be able to identify the difference between
heart-centred responses, versus the overthinking of the judgmental mind. The difference will feel like Inspiration, Creative Inquiry, and Creative Wonder, producing expansive results, versus Self-Doubt, Fear, and Second-Guessing, producing contracted results.

• Self Awareness. As a participant, you will gain awareness of your own mental blocks. You will
see the patterns of your thinking.

• Changing Patterns of “Stuck” Thinking. This workshop will allow you to be able to name the
blocks that stand in the way of your creative progress.

• Confident Decision Making. As a participant, you will be able to align the mind with the heart to
create your own choices for creatively inspired decision making:

• Art has a language of Elements and Principles of Design to understand the process, and
to analyze results, but creativity at its source relies on intelligences that are primarily
sensory. You will learn to be more reflexive in your responses. This will include
welcoming “mistakes” as creative opportunities for growth that you had not foreseen.

The Outcome of the Workshop Experience:

Joyful Recognition. We are all born creative. In this workshop you will have sparked that joyful place that is free from judgement and conditioning, to enable further growth.
You will take home your painted canvas, samples of your process, a notation for self-reflection, and handouts of the Elements and Principles of Art. Everyone will experience group critiques and 1:1 feedback.

Fee: The value of this workshop is $125 per person.  However, your commitment for this particular date will be $30 for supplies.

9:00 am to noon, $30.00

Artist’s Biography:

Dawn Burn (BFA- Honours/Painting, University of Victoria; MVA – Painting, University of Alberta), is an Intuitive Painter, who lives in Kamloops, B.C.  Dawn has been painting for a lifetime. She has spent the past four years engaged in creative growth and holistic development. It has been within the last year that Dawn has realized a greater depth of creativity that is without question Intuitively centred and a source of empowerment. The awareness first began with a painting she created for the Artists for Reconciliation exhibition at Kamloops United Church, a year ago. The process for that piece was notably different from any other, coming from a place of unfiltered clarity, and trust.

The next year she began to document her growth through her art website blog, as she worked to illustrate a children’s book for writer, and professor, Dr. George Johnson. Opportunity to paint at “the Pond” workshops led by artist Tricia Sellmer (summer 2019), became Dawn’s creative catalyst for the work to come. Dawn was introduced to Tricia by Dawn Koch, who while typically connecting graduate students with mentors through her Non-Profit, saw the potential.  In the meantime, Dawn Burn, has been continuing her intention of the past year to establish a heart centred business from her art, aligned with her holistic growth. Dawn has been immersed in life and business coaching for several months to develop the skills to establish a holistic business, and she has connected to the local holistic business community. The workshops Dawn now offers are to share what she now knows about the creative process, as an access point to the creative zone of the Intuition, for the empowerment of others.
