House of Hearts: Intentional Creativity Painting
OHANA: Thursday, September 25 5-9pm KITCHEN, main floor.
First, no painting experience is required for any of my courses. This is a whole different approach to painting. We will start with a red Thread circle and we will finish the day with a red thread circle.
Setting the intention for painting is primary. House is a metaphor for “you”. I will guide you through a process to consider “what is in your house /heart?” From there, I will guide you through a process to consider where you go from here. You will set intention for what you hope to achieve, you will draw an energy oracle card for guidance, I will lead you through a guided drum journey with the intent to help bring information/guidance for what you need to know. This will help develop the last part of the painting.

Stress and tension often cause us to hold our breath and repress our feelings. Over time, these accumulated feelings demand increasing amounts of energy to suppress, creating a debt in the vitality we bring to our lives.
Dharma Breath® accesses vast amounts of energy that can be transformed into your desires. Tom Lodge explains, “Focusing on the trauma gives it energy. Understanding the event is not necessary to eliminate its effect.” He references R.D. Laing, who said, “Obsession with past events is like a person in a dungeon. The door is open for them to walk out, yet they choose to stay until they can figure out how they got there.”
Dharma Breath® provides a practical technique that you can use at home to relieve and manage stress. It encourages you to embrace the present moment and live life to the fullest, as we all deserve.
Feedback from those who have participated in Ayahuasca (Iowaska) ceremonies reveals that Dharma Breath® achieved even more for them personally in terms of expanding their consciousness—without any side effects. Conscious breathing connects us to our spirit, fostering clarity and peace.

Jacqui Tracy, a Registered Master of Dharma Breath®, brings over three decades of experience to this transformative practice. She is dedicated to sharing her wisdom and insights, nurturing growth in students of all ages.
