Riding the Wave Dashboard

Art Supplies:

Canvas - minimum 16x20, or larger if you like
Easel (you can also hang the canvas on your wall or paint on a table)
Paint brushes – student grade, inexpensive is fine. See if you can find any called hog hair rounds (not flats) they are usually really affordable and can be found at craft stores. Shiloh uses them a lot for ‘scrubbing’. You will want a medium size, one larger and one smaller for detail called a liner brush. A variety of sizes and angles are good – they should be suitable for acrylic or oil, not watercolor.

Spray bottle with small mist.

Medicine Painting is an intuitive journey that grants access to our internal guidance system - the inner healer. More often than not, we don't know what we know. With painting specifically, we do have a way to make what our subconscious or unconscious knows, visible. Imagination may be one of the most potent links to recovering from trauma and illness that we have available. Our hope is that our culture can begin to include this medicine painting as a valid pathway to healing, not as a fringe practice, or the domain of the gifted few, but as an integrative approach to self-healing.
