From the founder: Upon graduation, I promised myself I would never wear a suit, nor would I work in an office. Fate threw me suited up into an office for seven years. This was my tour of duty in the illusory world of hierarchical control, greed, fear and systemic hypnosis. I was living a half-life, and no-one was more aware of this fact than I was. There were, of course, moments of stunning humanity in my time in “the office” working as a financial adviser and all round salesman for the corpor …

What is Intuitive Painting? It is very different than waking from a dream and wanting to paint the house you explored in that dream, though that may show up. It is different than 'wanting' to paint the sunset or waterfall, it's about seeing it show up in all it's glitteryness your intuitive painting. This process does not require that you know how to paint any of those things, it just requires that you are present and willing to experience it. Intuitive painting is the process, it is the freeing …

And, the societal systems for aging are far worse than negative social attitudes. Our financial structures, housing, and healthcare are completely dys …
