True offers one-one-one creativity coaching and workshops that are open to all levels of experience.
The fact of your birth, and that you have made it this far in life, is proof of the creative power that flows through you. Your curiosity about and longing to express it will resource your ability to do so. It is that simple.
​
Medicine painting classes and workshops are not simply about learning to paint. They are an opportunity to go on a medicine journey where paint and canvas are the mediums. They allow you to dive deep into a healing process in an area of life that is seeking to shift and is that ready to open to greater awareness.
​
True's breadth of experience and training as a transpersonal psychologist, yoga teacher and Intentional Creativity teacher 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.
​
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 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 of medicine painting instruction is $60/hour. These can be scheduled as a series of classes or a deep-dive workshop.

Welcome!
​
Let me introduce myself. My given name is Cristin but I go by True. My pronouns are she/her.
​
I strive to provide a safe, affirming and inclusive environment where people of all backgrounds, identities and abilities are welcome. I continue to educate myself on the topic of diversity and inclusion and seek to understand where I do not.
​
The healing philosophy I work through is called transpersonal psychology. Transpersonal psychology explores the human experience beyond our sense of our self. It includes the exploration of a spiritual consciousness in its most general sense and a relationship to that which is greater than oneself. How that is defined and known varies from person to person. For some that exists inside of a religious framework, for others it exists in relationship to nature, and for still others it includes a cosmology that is unique. I also work with those who don't have a relationship with spirituality, grounding instead in concepts such as their experience of love and living.
​​
What really works about this approach, is that it is a practice that believes that our true nature is one of wholeness. It makes room for curiosity, compassion and creativity--and I have found both in my personal journey and through working with others, that is a gentle yet powerful place from which to heal. When we are in pain, it is sometimes hard to hold a view of our innate connectedness, which is why it is useful to work with another who can hold this vision for us.
​
From a practical standpoint, my therapeutic approach incorporates talk therapy with the wisdom of the body and well as the use of healing journeys, meditation and creativity.
