Michele Cassou Workshops


The Point Zero Painting
Creativity Without Limits

Michele’s workshops are for those who want creativity to become a part of their life and who are searching for what is authentic in them. Beginners are welcome. In the workshops you will:

  • Discover your power to create
  • Feel the joy of spontaneous expression
  • Uncover your own true, original style of painting
  • Feel the live connection between you and your painting
  • Dissolve unnecessary patterns and conditioning
  • Learn to face and break through creative blocks
  • Explore your spirit at its source       

Your work will become as original and as unique as you are. The unrestricted flow of images and colors will bring healing and insights. No prior experience is necessary. There is no need to be specially inspired or gifted. What is authentic and beautiful in you will manifest when obstacles are removed and creativity is understood.

"Creativity Without Limits: the Point Zero Process"
Mabel Dodge Luhan House. Taos, New Mexico.
May 2 - May 10, 2014.
The Longest workshop of the year. Very popular.
Class starts Fri May 2 dinner, ends May 10, after lunch.
Taught by Michele Cassou
With Cherie Ray, Anna Billing, Gwinn Alderson.

It is rare for most people to use painting for its qualities of inner adventure and self-discovery,
to paint purely for the process of exploration, not for the result. The purpose of this workshop is
to provide a setting to explore the self through painting, to discover in form and color a powerful tool
for uncovering and dissolving blocks to emotional and spiritual expression.

Participants will be given the support and stimulation to develop a natural way of painting based
directly upon feeling. The work takes place in an authentic studio setting with large white surfaces to
confront the creative void, along with a rich spectrum of colors and brushes.

No prior experience is necessary.
Paints, paper, and brushes supplied.
Please bring a smock.

Price: $2095 - includes all materials, lodging in semi-private room, and gourmet food.
$500.00 deposit to register ($250.00 non-refundable)

Call 1-800-846-2235 to register
or e-mail: mabel@mabeldodgeluhan.com.
