“Most of us from time to time experience a state of flow—being completely absorbed in what we’re doing. Researchers are finding that in addition to contributing to our work satisfaction, creativity and flow are connected to positive emotions and our overall happiness.” – PBS
"We see things not as they are but as we are."

A course on intuitive drawing and painting to explore inner abilities we all possess.
Unleash your creative flow
In our everyday lives, we see through filters of acquired knowledge, social conditioning and individual psychology. But, behind these external influences we have perceptions, dreams and personal imagery that make up our unique internal landscapes. Intuitive art-making is a process of discovering this inner world and allowing it to be expressed through art.
Through meditation, visual exercises, movement, and experimenting with a variety of materials, participants will be exposed to techniques to help explore and develop their own intuitive images.
Over the course of four sessions we will:
- Learn about art-making tools and strategies
- Participate in a process of creative discovery in a safe, supportive setting
- Create conditions for entering the state of flow
- Connect with ourselves and with other like-minded seekers
Talia’s Peckel is a Toronto-based artist with a BFA from OCAD University in Drawing and Painting. After four years of being immersed in the academic sphere of art school and being introduced to the elusive “art world”, she decided to take a different path, by pursuing alternative, accessible forms of art instruction. She has been an art instructor to a number of age groups including children (ages 7 – 12) and adults with special needs. She currently leads various visual art workshops for adults.
Talia has a special interest in alternative and holistic approaches to art and creativity, which involve strategies for intuitive art, mindfulness, and meditative practices. Using art as a tool for communication and expression, with ourselves as much as with each other, it has the power to lighten our spirits, heal our emotions, and connect us to one another.

Supply Chain Manager (moonlighting as an artist) / Sears Canada Inc.This is a wonderful space to work in, I love the ever-changing atmosphere whether I am there to just hang out, work on my art, attend an event or conduct a workshop.
Self Awareness
Through the arts we begin to draw out our inner thoughts. Over time, we become more aware of who we are and learn to put aside judgement of ourselves and of others. This exercise in self-awareness helps us to better understand who we are and what makes us happy.
Stress Relief
Through the arts we are able to de-stress. This is the journey through your imagination that helps you leave behind the difficult parts of your day. And like any other muscle, your brain needs to be regularly exercised to see the benefits. The outcome is a more healthy and balanced life.
Problem Solving
Our minds work intuitively on a subconscious level when we're busy with other tasks. Similar to the philosophy of theatre improv, with continual practice you can learn to become more intuitive. Soon you'll realize that you are able to react quickly to situations and in turn become better problem solvers.
Community
Whether it's running clubs or book clubs, we love sharing experiences with others that have the same interests. The basis for community is formed when we decide to share. We hope to provide a safe and judgement free space from where new friends will be made and amazing community projects will emerge.
