SOUL COLLAGE WITH JENNIE OPPENHEIMER (Suggested for Stage Five, Flow)

As an artist, educator and the founder of Soulio, Jennie Oppenheimer believes passionately that creativity and play not only illuminate our strengths and originality, but also help us discover our unique purpose and potential. In this Master Class, Jennie joins Nick for an inspiring discussion on connecting to our true selves and bringing that out through our art.

Some of what you’ll learn in this video:

• Carl Jung said we love to tell our stories through images. We see ourselves, our stories, in the images we are attracted to.

• We’re so often focused on our thoughtful, intellectualized, analytical minds. The goal is to get to where you’re not thinking at all, but trusting that you already have in you what you need to say.

• There’s a place for discernment, or the analytical, but not at the same time as when you’re in the intuitive flow state. Your brain can’t effectively do the two at the same time

• If you connect with the vocabulary in yourself, you can also connect with that vocabulary when you’re making a painting.

• When approaching a painting, actually bring the feeling, the approach that you want to feel in your work.
