Michele Cassou Workshops

The Point Zero Painting
Creativity Without Limits

Michele’s workshops are for those who want creativity to become a part of their life and who are searching for what is authentic in them. Beginners are welcome. In the workshops you will:

Discover your power to create
Feel the joy of spontaneous expression
Uncover your own true, original style of painting
Feel the live connection between you and your painting
Dissolve unnecessary patterns and conditioning
Learn to face and break through creative blocks
Explore your spirit at its source

Your work will become as original and as unique as you are. The unrestricted flow of images and colors will bring healing and insights. No prior experience is necessary. There is no need to be specially inspired or gifted. What is authentic and beautiful in you will manifest when obstacles are removed and creativity is understood.
