A 5 week soul journey into your sacred heart, to activate your Creative Essence and paint a self portrait of your Divine.

Together we will journey to the depths of our I Am Presence.

YOUR GUIDE
LINZY ARNOTT
is an international, published, award winning, self taught artist who has been represented in galleries since she was 16 and has been a full time artist since 2011, creating and selling over 2,000 paintings. Linzy discovered early in life that the power of art held a depth and level of self expression that far outweighed what she could express through words. During a life defining moment in an art museum in DC at 19years old, Linzy became keenly aware that the intention and energy poured into a painting was even more powerful than what a painting looked like, and that this intention could literally touch and heal hearts as it did for her that day. Linzy has been on a soul searching mission since then that has led her to Peru and around North America, to learn from healers, shamans and mystics. To learn about the power of energy and intention and how to channel pure inspiration into physical form, to create a bridge between the worlds of magic and matter.
Over the last 5 years Linzy has become deeply inspired by the visions in her dreams of the Rising of the Divine Feminine. Immersing herself in women’s mysteries, ancestral and personal healing that has opened a new level of creativity. Linzy has found great joy in painting the Divine in Her many faces and forms, a joy she is so excited to finally share ~ in guiding others through Painting The Divine Within.
“Art is the most powerful tool I’ve found for healing and transformation, for getting to know who you really are, for rewriting your stories. When you can look at a blank canvas and see the limitless possibilities it holds, you can look at your life and yourself in the same way. You are the artist of your life, YOU are the masterpiece of your own creation.”
“I’ve witnessed Linzy guide non-artists to taste the joy of creating for the first time in their lives and I’ve also seen her support working artists in putting themselves out there in the world, with her gentle intuitive guidance and practical wisdom gained from years of experience.
Through Linzy I’ve grown both in my art and in my experience of being here in the world. Painting sessions with Linzy are about more than only art, they fill up your soul. Being involved in her courses has uplifted me beyond belief.”
