Seeds of Potential - Intuitive Art Workshop
10:30 5th April 2025
at Moo & Boom
WhitchurchSeeds of Potential - Intuitive Art Workshop
10:30 - 13:30 5th April 2025
More InformationTap into your creative power and create meaningful art in alignment with the natural rhythms of the seasons and the Wheel of the Year.
In this intuitive art workshop, you will create a piece of art exploring a theme that embraces the energies of Spring Equinox. The theme for this 3-hour Intuitive Mixed Media Art workshop is ‘The Seeds of Potential’.
At Spring Equinox, the pure potential of the rising life force is fully awakened from its winters sleep. You can see this rising vital force starting to burst into life all around you in nature. You also start to feel the potential in life calling you forward. Your possibilities and inspirations can start to make themselves clearer. The fire of your creative potential in life gets stoked.During this workshop we will tap into the rising creative energies through exploring the energy of spring and engaging the creative process as a meditative reflection process. Laying down paint and mixed media intuitively and rest into enjoying, moving, and playing with your paint. The session starts with a small-guided meditation practice – so you can approach the creative process from a place of stillness and rest. You then move into working on building layers of flow and curiosity with images, quotes, textures, and acrylic paint as you connect to the Seeds of Potential that spring is gifting to you.
Using your fingers, brushes, colour, creating and dissolving form you will learn how to express creatively without using the mind to judge what the outcome will be or what to do next. There is guidance, technique and prompts throughout the session to keep the thread of the theme ‘The Seeds of Potential’ evolving as you create. This approach allows a dialogue with your intuitive nature to open as you relax into the creative process. A communication opens that informs and inspires the piece being created and enables you to bring forward in your art piece a message of The Seeds of Potential that are opening within you. Making each participant’s piece unique and full of meaning and reflection.
Not only will you leave the session with a beautiful piece of artwork that is meaningful to you but also a depth of creative nourishment and enhanced well-being.
NO PRIOR ART EXPERIENCE NECESSARY.
ALL CREATIVE ABILITIES WELCOME.

St Leonard's ChurchMore InformationThis is a wonderful opportunity to see Richard Thompson perform in an intimate setting as he prepares for his European Festival Tour. St Leonard's Church is a beautiful space in the heart of Bridgnorth Town and is the perfect setting for this once in a life time gig!
Richard Thompson’s musical influence cannot be overstated. Having co-founded the groundbreaking group Fairport Convention as a teenager in the ‘60s, he and his bandmates invented the distinctive strain of British Folk Rock. He left the group by the age of 21 which was followed by a decade long musical partnership with his then wife Linda, to over 30 years as a highly successful solo artist.In 2011, Thompson received an OBE (Order of the British Empire) personally bestowed upon him by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace. The Los Angeles Times called him “the finest rock songwriter after Dylan and the best electric guitarist since Hendrix” and Rolling Stone has named him one of the Top 100 Guitarists of All Time. He has received lifetime achievement awards for songwriting from the BBC Radio 2 Awards, the Americana Music Association, and was awarded the prestigious Ivor Novello Award. His song “1952 Vincent Black Lightning” was named one of TIME Magazine’s “100 Greatest Songs Since 1923.” A wide range of musicians have recorded Thompson’s songs including Robert Plant, Elvis Costello, R.E.M., Sleater-Kinney, Del McCoury, Bonnie Raitt, Tom Jones, David Byrne, Don
Henley, Los Lobos, and many more. His massive body of work includes many Grammy nominated albums as well as numerous soundtracks, including Werner Herzog’s Grizzly Man and 2019’s The Cold Blue.
