Imagine a golden-hour circle, breath settling, paint flowing, and a sound journey that opens your inner world. This 5-week series becomes your midweek pau hana for the soul.

The Hook

Big Island scene

Ever wanted your art practice to feel like prayer? Picture plumeria on the breeze at Sunshine Sacred Sanctuary, soft light on canvases, and the hum of bowls settling your na‘au. This isn’t a one-off. Painting Portals: Painting the Parts is a 5-week, weekly ritual that runs in closed circles, so you deepen each session and carry the thread week to week.

What to Expect

You’ll arrive around 4:00pm, shoes off, shoulders down. A gentle check-in opens the circle at 4:30, then the journey unfolds—breath, body, and color finding each other. Expect a blend you won’t find anywhere else: somatic therapy, earth-based ritual, a quantum sound journey, and shamanic art therapy. You’ll meet your inner wise one, your playful keiki self, even that loud inner critic—and give each part a brushstroke and a voice.

Highlights you’ll feel in your bones:

●Hands-on art time that becomes a “portal” into your inner landscape.
●A guided meditation and sound journey that vibrates calm through your chest.
●A caring, small circle (only 10) where sharing feels safe and real.
●Integration time so you leave grounded, not spun out.

By 7:30pm you’re walking into twilight with paint on your fingers and a new map in your heart.

●If you’re kamaʻāina balancing work and self-care, think of this as your midweek pau hana for the soul.

Hawaii Island atmosphere

Why We Love It

Because it’s not just paint. It’s a ceremony for your creativity. We’ve sat in this circle and felt the sound wash the room quiet, then watched a shy first stroke become a whole ocean. It’s intimate, respectful, and genuinely transformative—no woo overwhelm, just grounded practice and heartfelt community.
