Harvest Moon Reflections: Intuition Painting® at Juniper Moon Artisan Market
We had a beautiful 2-Day Intuition Painting® Workshop at the new Juniper Moon Artisan Market in Paradise, Utah, held during the luminous Harvest Moon on October 6 & 7.
What a gift to share the magic of this process with the loveliest people — souls willing to dive deep, trust their intuition, and let the colors lead the way. Each brushstroke became a whisper from the soul…each painting, a mirror of transformation.
It’s such a privilege to sit with people who are willing to show up fully and experience the magic of Intuition Painting®. Every time, it reaffirms my desire to keep sharing it — even on the days I question my own expertise at facilitating.
I’ve learned that the process itself works — in spite of me, rather than because of me. I’m not a teacher in the traditional sense; I’m a fellow traveler and lifelong student of this creative journey. I hold space, offer prompts, and provide structure — but I also paint, explore, and discover right alongside the painters in the workshop. We’re all in the circle together, each of us guided by our own inner wisdom.
There is something sacred about painting in community — about the connection, vulnerability, and presence we share in the creative flow. Especially in this inspiring art space created by Carole and Mick Warburton, what a true gift to the community of Paradise, Utah. Surrounded by mountains and heart-centered energy, this place reminds us that art can become prayer, and creation can become healing. It’s such a gift to witness how lives change through the wisdom revealed in this process.
We were also beautifully nourished — coffee-cake mornings filled with laughter and soulful lunches of homemade soups, fresh salads, warm bread, and decadent desserts — all lovingly prepared by an incredible local chef who added as much artistry to the meals as we did to our canvases.
Carole and I hope to plan another workshop in 2026 at her beautiful new art house, Juniper Moon Artisan Market — a creative home for artists, makers, and dreamers. Whether you’re exploring workshops, connecting with local talent, or simply soaking in the beauty of Paradise, this space is pure inspiration, check it out if you can.
I also hope to offer online Intuition Painting® Workshops on Zoom in the coming months to make this experience more accessible. And when time allows, I’ll continue to offer more workshops and possibly retreats in the future. Reach out to me if would like to plan a private session at my home or even a session with a few friends, I can accommodate up to 4 painters in a small group workshop in my home and have space for lodging, if needed.
In the meantime, you can visit UPCOMING EVENTS — Soul Journey Arts for my latest offerings and explore the GLOBAL DIRECTORY — Soul Journey Arts for other Intuition Painting® Facilitators around the world, which I’m still in the process of building.
The Harvest Moon reminds us to let go, give thanks, and begin again. This process — like the moon itself — mirrors the cycles of our own transformation. Each time we paint, we return to ourselves in a new way. Intuition Painting® is not a one-time experience; it’s a practice — something you can return to again and again to access your own inner wisdom whenever you need it.
Join the revolution of Intuition Painting® — Art that Transforms Life. I would love to have you join me.
