"I thoroughly enjoyed this course. I am new to painting yet found Michal's tutoring on use of colour and technique easy to understand. I loved the step by step videos showing alterations as well as everything finished, that gave me real confidence to try different things.

The connection of the body, energy and canvas was so helpful not to mention healing as was the no pressure or rush to finish.
Michal was careful for there to be no pressure of a 'finish' date which helps with any overwhelm. I thoroughly loved this course and would highly recommend it to anyone at any level.

    “Mother Earth 2020 was such an awakening of deep and profound messages. Through Michal's vision and guidance, I/we were able to feel into the shifts of this time and bring them to the canvas. Using a variety of easily learned techniques and ways of thinking, the paintings created were phenomenal and the experience a deeply shamanic journey. But, then, this is characteristic of Michal Shimoni and what she brings to her students and offerings. ”

    “Michal is a gifted, very original artist and is an amazingly generous teacher. The course was so much more than I expected. I loved the videos, the way it was taught and that Michal was always there for the students, while at the same time letting us leave the nest and fly our own way. Her feedback always made me see more about my paintings than I had seen myself. The course took my painting to a whole new level while at the same time I had so much fun. I am so grateful for this experience!”

I am deeply grateful for the richness of this experience and learned so much about painting, my own natural ways of self-expression and in the process, although I have always love nature, I forged an new relationship to Mother Earth that is more nourishing, healing and deeply reverent, then I thought was possible.

    “I highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to continue exploring and deepening their art of allowing practice. The movement exercises add another layer of depth as we invite the wisdom of the body to join our psychic explorations. The themes we explored were deeply spiritual, which added to the contemplative nature of the art of allowing helped birth some of my favorite paintings. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone who would like to renew a collaborative heart relationship with Mother Earth.”

Testimonials

“Body Dialogue is an intuitive and nurturing practice. In sessions with Janice, I find that she has the ability to tune in and read my body, and decode the stories I may be holding that are affecting my experience. The work of Body Dialogue can help with both strengthening and with unwinding tension patterns. Body Dialogue helps me to stand upright, to breathe, to feel full and empowered and creative , to honor my ancestors who gave me the gift of incarnation. Through Body Dialogue I can track my felt experience and be a nurturing mother to myself. I can tend the garden of my body.”

“Michal is the most dedicated teacher any aspiring artist could ever dream of, and really walked the extra mile to make sure we all got the most out of this class! I learned so much, among other things the course helped me to find my own style of painting, and I learned to be more brave and experiment and explore new techniques. Michal’s calm and relaxed style of teaching, in combination with her authentic desire to make every student feel seen and appreciated, made this class a wonderful experience for me, and I would warmly recommend Michal’s classes to everyone who wants to make a huge progress in their painting ." If possible, I would rate this class a million stars ”

    Art is my medicine I need to take as often as possible.
    It is also the medicine I have to give, by sharing my art and facilitating the space for others to practice

    Although I have many years of formal art education I have found myself blocked in my creativity because of so much information that diverted me away from my inner vision.
    Since then, I have evolved so that my paintings today come from an inner well, no planning, just opening and listening to what wants to come through me.
    It is a process of discovery in which I can find myself crying in awe. After studying art for many years it was a journey to find my way back to my true voice, my inner vision.
    I am grateful to be where I am now finding my joy in art and helping others find it.
