Painting weekend | Stockholm
Creative Alchemy
Paint your way into more courage, self-love and creative joy
Do you feel like there’s more that wants to be expressed through you? But you’re not sure how, and you’re feeling blocked…?
Do you have creative ideas that end up just being ideas because you’re questioning yourself or wondering “what people will think”?
Do you give up halfway because you “apparently weren’t good at this”?
Are you already thinking “painting course… but I can’t paint!?”
Perfect… This course is made for you, my dear.
Paint your way into more self-love, courage and creative joy
This course will help you to:
Come into contact with your creative life force, your intuition and your courage to express yourself creatively
Understand the energies and principles that are present in all kinds of creative work, not just in painting
Cultivate a softer and more loving inner dialogue (you’ll meet your inner child, your inner critic and a wise, elder version of yourself)
Play and experiment with acrylic colours, colour theory and composition
Create in a safe group where we together have interesting conversations and get to know ourselves on a deeper level
Have fun!! Laugh, follow your curiosity and feel a sense of awe. Feel your creative life force awaken inside you ❤️
The goal of Creative Alchemy is not to paint the most beautiful and perfect things.
The goal is that you will find your inner spark and start relating to creativity in a way that nourishes you and helps you to keep creating in the long run.
It doesn’t matter whether all you’ve painted so far is stick figures or if you’re already an accomplished artist. This course is not about painting the most beautiful and perfect things.
Inside Creative Alchemy, I’ll teach you how painting and creativity can become a tool to come into contact with your inner spark and your creativity… And how this is a force that will spread to all areas of your life!
Because I promise you, magical creations are already there inside of you. All you need to do is to peel off the layers that are in the way and give it the time and space to come out. ❤️
Curriculum
Day 1: The Spark. We dive into the very centre of your creativity, which has always been there inside of you whether you’ve been aware of it or not. We do exercises that are designed to open up for more creativity and life force. We explore colours, colour theory, composition and — of course — paint and play with acrylics. I will give you the basic theory that’s good to know when working with acrylics.
Day 2: The Tools. During this day, you will meet the part of you that already knows. The part of you that holds the answers and the wisdom you may have been searching for outside of yourself. With a new connection to your inner wisdom, you also get to reshape your relationship with your Inner Critic. My goal is that by the end of this day, you’re leaving with a more loving and nurturing inner dialogue. We continue to play with colours and before the day is over you get to set a vision for how you want to move on with your new relationship with creativity.

“There might be subtle messages or signs encouraging you to come to the Creative Alchemy course. Follow them! It might not make logical sense, but still be just what you need.

I will carry the teachings and the powerful play with me always.”
