Intuitive painting workshops — art as a healing practice, open to everyone.
Paint what you feel. Feel what you make.
These workshops are an invitation to drop out of your head and into your senses. Through color, texture, and guided intuitive play, you'll access parts of yourself that words can't reach - and leave with something you made that is entirely, unmistakably yours
Each session draws from Shayla's practice of art as spiritual inquiry - rooted in sensory exploration, shadow work, and the healing power of creative expression. Influenced by her Indian heritage and a lifelong study of the body as a site of knowing, her workshops create space for the kind of expression that doesn't have a name yet.
Offered as:
Group workshops
Private one-on-one aura sessions
Corporate and wellness partnerships
Venue and studio collabs
What to expect:
No experience necessary. No right or wrong. Just paint, presence, and permission to be exactly where you are.
What happens in the room:
We begin with a grounding practice - breath, sensation, presence. Then paint. There is no critique, no comparison. Only the invitation to follow what arises. Color becomes language. Texture becomes memory. What you make will surprise you.
Bring the workshop to your space: If you run a studio, yoga space, coffee shop, or wellness venue and want to offer your community something they won't find anywhere else, Shayla is available for partnerships and pop-ups across the DMV and beyond.
Deepen the Experience
Every session can be customized with:
Guided visualization or meditation to open the creative channel
Journaling prompts to integrate what arose on the canvas
EFT tapping to release what's blocking expression before you pick up a brush
These additions can be woven into any format - group, private, or event. Mention it in your inquiry and Shayla will build it into your session.
-
All materials provided - paint, brushes, water, canvas, and an intentional space designed to help you slow down and create freely. You bring yourself. We handle everything else.
-
A typical two-hour session looks like this:
Arrive and settle — tea, introductions, setting an intention for your time
Visualization — a short guided practice to drop into your body and access what wants to be expressed
Technique exploration — a brief, accessible introduction to color, texture, and intuitive mark-making
Create — open painting time with gentle music and Shayla available for support
Share and reflect — an optional closing circle to witness each other's work
Socialize — linger, connect, and carry the feeling with you
No two sessions are identical. The itinerary follows the energy of the room.
