Overview:

Join artist Manaz Raiszadeh for a transformative 5-day workshop that invites you to lean into your inner world, embrace vulnerability, and discover the powerful voice that lives in your art.

This immersive experience is more than a technique-based class—it’s a journey. Rooted in the healing, joyful, and connective power of creativity, each day will guide you deeper into your heart, allowing unfiltered expression to emerge on the canvas.

Learn how Manaz throws paint on the canvas and moves from layers to layers to express her deeper thoughts via abstract art.

Discuss how to share your art with the world: social media, call for artists, art fairs, and brand building as an artist.

Whether you're a seasoned artist or just beginning, this workshop is for anyone ready to reconnect with their authentic self through art.

What to Expect:

Each day will blend mindfulness practices, reflective prompts, collages, and bold painting techniques designed to help you:

Ground yourself in the present. Tap into silence and intuition as a starting point for creative flow.
Explore inner landscapes. Through color, gesture, and texture, let your emotions guide your hand.
Let your art become your voice. Push through creative blocks and allow raw expression to rise.
Embrace imperfection. Celebrate experimentation, layering, and surprise as tools for discovery.
Reflect, witness, and be witnessed. End with a collective celebration and optional sharing circle.
Foster conversations with fellow artists. Create a sacred community.

Why Join?

This workshop is a sanctuary—a safe space to create freely and bravely. You'll walk away not only with new paintings, but with a deeper sense of connection to your voice, your story, and your creative path.
