Vancouver Yoni Painting workshop

This workshop is for women who desire to ignite their creativity and deepen their connection to their intution & their sacral/womb energy. We will anchor an intention on the canvas with the guidance and teachings of our cyclical nature as humans and females. 

The moon will be our guide, with her four main phases as checkpoints in the creation process. And the Yoni will be our tool as a symbol of creativity, power, fertility, and infinite potential. 

Different modalities will be used to support the experience like meditation, visualisation, movement, etc.

At the end of the the experience, you will bring home a beautiful Yoni portal painting, symbolizing a physical manifestation of what is being birthed through you for the months to come; as well as a renewed inner power around your body and soul.

FAQ:

1.  Do I need to have some painting experience in order to participate?

No. Every level of painting experience is welcome! A quick walkthrough the foundations of acrylic painting will be offered at the beginning of the session, and different techniques, feedback and suggestions will be provided throughout the journey (upon consent and/or request).

2. What does "yoni" even mean?

"Yoni is a Sanskrit word for female genitals—the vulva, vagina, and uterus or womb. It can also mean a place of birth, as in the source or origin; a place of rest, as in a vessel or home; and a family or social station fixed by birth. It is most well known, however, as the female sex organ [...] The worship of the yoni is the worship of the goddess, as well as the worship of women as living expressions of the goddess.
