Medicine painting workshops are more than a paint class. They are an opportunity to go on a medicine journey where paint and canvas are the mediums. These workshops are offered in a one-one-one setting, allowing you to dive deep into a healing process in an area of life that is seeking shift and is that ready to open to greater awareness.
Each class is facilitated by Cristin True Whiting, Intentional Creativity teacher, psychologist, shamanic practitioner, and yoga teacher. True's breadth of experience and training allows her to lead participants through a deep exploration of themselves, guiding them into expanded awareness of their consciousness and wisdom through the oracle of the painting they create.
Workshops are eight hours, divided into two four-hour sessions across two consecutive days. In addition to painting, you will be guided in meditations and journeys, journaling, and wanders on the landscape. Sessions may also include yogic movement and individual Systemic Constellations as would facilitate your process.
True has taught these workshops to people with no painting experience and to people with formal art training. No two workshops are the same because True tailors them to facilitate each participant's inquiry, adapting the process moment to moment to meet the shifts in co-creative consciousness.
The cost for each workshop is $600. This includes 8-hours of personalized instruction with a workshop created uniquely for your to facilitate the intention you seek for your workshop. It also includes all of the materials you will need for painting: paint, canvas, brushes and other tools. Students provide a journal and pen, their own snacks, and clothes appropriate for painting.
Two paths are currently offered in these workshops: Explorations in Consciousness and The Archetype of The Lover. You can find more information about them in the Paths section.

Welcome to Road to Bliss! It is an honor to be able to share your journey with you.
Throughout my life I have been drawn to explore what it is to be alive and the complex beauty of human relationships. I became a clinical psychologist to work with people in healing life patterns that block their experience of vitality, wholeness and connection. As an extension of that same intention, I became a yoga teacher and pursued the study of and mentorship in shamanic healing. These traditions offer powerful complementary wisdom and practices that serve to deepen healing in a way that transcends brain and mind into soul and spirit level wholeness.
In addition to working in the above modalities, I am also an artist and a certified Intentional Creativity teacher. I offer workshops in medicine painting which is another way of exploring, awakening and alchemizing inner wisdom and rewriting personal narratives. You can learn more about the workshops I offer here and you can follow my part at Art By True.
It is the alchemy of these healing traditions that guide my work. Feel free to browse my training and experience here to learn more.
