“Jill humbly offers space and experience that is invaluable in this society.
During the workshop I discovered parts of me that were so hidden but so ready to be released.
All the things I was afraid of all of a sudden felt really good, and I couldn’t get enough.”
— Frank

Painting your relationship to your parents

Whether we live near or far from our parents, they’re dead or alive, we talk to them often or don’t speak to them at all, our relationship to them has a powerful effect on our well-being. 

For 3 hours, once a week, for a month…
We will unearth and transmute our feelings in relationship to our parents through the mediums of painting, movement, and conversation so we may connect with the embodied knowing of our desires.

“Jill created a beautiful container to support me in processing some of the deepest layers of my relationship with my parents.  By helping us get into our bodies and let our somatic selves reveal what needed to be seen, I was able to witness and transform some very old patterns.  I’m grateful for the space, and intention for healing she held during this process!”

Ways you may benefit from this exploration: 

  • Learn about your identity within the family and apart from the family. 

  • Accept who your parents are and what they’ve passed onto you, and then…do better. 

  • Have a relationship with them that is more in line with your needs and desires

  • Gain artistic skill and intuition, and learn how to use art to express and connect with yourself

  • Become more in tune with your body’s wisdom

  • Be held in a playful, creative, community atmosphere!

Important notes: 

  • You do not need to be an artist or have any skill in painting to participate. I will teach you what is needed to begin. 
    This is not about it looking a certain way or being beautiful and presentable. The canvas will serve as a portal for your honest expression to arrive through. This may be something you never show to your parents or others outside of this container. And that is okay :)

    “Jill helped us understand that we didn't need a plan and that there isn't a definition of the "right way" to paint.”

  • Make sure you can make it to all 4 sessions. (I understand life happens) But with a class size of 4-5, your presence makes a big difference! 

  • Your painting may not be “finished” by the end of the workshop, just as your relationship with your parents may never be perfectly “solved”. It’s a dynamic, ongoing discovery.

“The class was fun, engaging, with a sense of ease, pause, daring. 

I was thrilled to make such a raw, unadulterated, gut felt painting.”

“Thank you Jill, for helping me open up to a world I was completely closed off to, but desperately wanted to be in.
I’m sure I will be painting the rest of my life.”
