Welcome!
Though I have a background and degree in the arts, I am not a painter, this is not about technique or final outcome, it is about the creative process, tapping into that inner child essence no matter how old we are. We will take 10-15 minutes each day for 21 days to do an art meditation to open up our creative-self. When we do that we open up more energy flow in many other areas of our lives. Working our creative muscles help us build strength to forge forward and live our life with more joy and harmony.
NO PAINTING OR ART SKILLS NEEDED!
All levels of painters are welcome. Whether you are a complete beginner and have never picked up a brush and can barely draw a stick figure, to artists with skills to paint the Mona Lisa, we are all beings striving to become the fullest expression of our creative self. That is what this experience is all about.
Your daily meditation paintings will be unique unto YOU! This is not a course about comparison or even having to show any of your work. Though in each day there is a place for comments and sharing and there will be live video calls halfway through to connect.
(Though it’s suggested to create some quiet space to yourself each day, it is appropriately G-rated to be able to have your children create along with you during your meditation time.)

The Daily Practice
When the course starts, for 21 days, there will be a new daily video published each morning. Each daily session video is approximately 10 minutes in length which features a 2-3 minute spoken, guided meditation at the beginning around a certain simple theme/item.
Then you will listen to calming meditative music while you paint that theme/item in a stream of consciousness kind of way (whether literal, abstract, or just splash some color on the paper!). I will be painting in the video what comes from within me (baring my raw self, and showing my sometimes rudimentary, non-proper-technique-artistic-abilities :-). But I paint for myself and you should paint for you 🙂 No one has to see it but you, so relax and enjoy!
Of course you can continue painting longer if you like, but setting aside even just those 10 or so minutes each day to do any form of meditation will benefit your body, mind and spirit tenfold.
Timing
The next course starts on [coming soon], Spring 2021. You will have access to the course materials for the duration of the course until the course completion plus 10 days after. So if you miss a day or to or get a little behind, there are a few days to catch up.
Of course you can continue painting longer if you like, but setting aside even just those 10 – 15 minutes each day to do any form of meditation will benefit your body, mind and spirit tenfold.
Supplies & Requirements
1. Requirement: Show up each day with an enthusiastic spirit! 🙂
2. No artistic skills are needed, if you have some great, use them to your fullest, but nothing is needed.
3. Get 3 SIMPLE supplies: a watercolor* paint set (ANY will do), a brush, and a Watercolor or Mixed Media notebook/paper. (Mixed media paper will sometimes crumple up a bit, but I use it all the time. I got this pad from Target, and in a pinch you can use regular paper it will just be crumpled throughout after being wet).

* I suggest watercolor for all newcomers, however if you are experienced with acrylics, feel free to use what you have. Even starting out with some crayons or markers will get you going and you can grow from there.

Here's what some students are saying...and doing!
I looked forward to the time I set aside each night to meditate and create. I did it in the evenings before bed as it became my way to relax and decompress. And because each one was short, it was something I was able to commit to. I really enjoyed sharing my artwork (optional) and getting to see the paintings of others that shared as well. It was a nice supportive community. You can tell the care that Heather puts into each mediation and it's nice to participate in something where you know that the creator is finding their own joy in it as well. I highly recommend it.
Everyone’s paintings will be different, it’s about the process, however simple or complex your painting meditation is, it’s all perfect. And your child can even do it with you too! Here are some student samples. Each has meaning for that particular day to them.
Heather Melcer, Faciliator
I am a freelance writer, certified Feng Shui consultant, and self-publishing consultant. I have a diverse background which began with a BA in Communications, work experience in publishing, marketing, and graphic design in NYC, an MFA in Motion Picture Production and personal metaphysical studies into both our outer and inner worlds many decades.
It is the blend of these unique gifts that together allow me to create intuitive, practical, down-to-earth, user-friendly approaches to help integrate artistic and spiritual understandings and practices into our modern world today. Originally from NJ, I have a bit of a nomadic spirit and I have had the opportunity to live in New York City, London, Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago and now divinely guided to my next spot currently on the Central Coast of California.
Try it for 3 Days
I guarantee that you will enjoy the experience. Due to the nature of the course, after watching/listening to the first 3 days of meditations and doing a painting each day, you still feel this experience really isn't for you, simply send me an email by the end of the third day and I will issue you a refund.
FAQ
The logistics: For 21 days a new daily meditation and painting session will be released at midnight (Pacific Time Zone/Los Angeles).
When you log in each day, take time to do your meditation and painting on your own whatever time works best for you that day, it is pre-recorded. Then at the bottom of each daily page there is a place to add comments and upload a sample if you wish to share (completely optional). I read those and respond to them daily.
There is a Bonus video call around the halfway mark where we can all gather to connect and share some of our experiences and how things are going. At the end I will do another live video conference call where we can share more and do a show and tell of some of our paintings and overall experiences.
From the course start date you will have access to the course materials for the duration of the course until the course completion plus 10 days after. So if you miss a day or to or get a little behind, there are a few days to catch up.
I understand that some things just don’t work out and are not the right connection, but due to the nature of the course, there are no refunds after day 3. Please email me within 3 days after the course start date for a full refund.
The audio is in the video 🙂
Each day you will view a video where you are asked to close your eyes and relax while listening to the brief, spoken meditation.
