After an exhausting summer I was treated to the Flow Nouveau with Shiloh and Jonathan. Great medicine for the senses. I wrote a haiku about the experience.

FLOW NOUVEAU 2023

Star essence flowing Cosmos

Our Lights above

Burning as within the All.

The choices of intention

Garner True results

Agency is now freeing.

Be gone false lies and taboos

Truthfulness a must

Flow Nouveau brought on the glow!

by Shelley Hines, RN, MSN

"Something special happens when we paint with intention, let go and follow the Flow. I wasn’t feeling well when I started the Flow Nouveau process. The warm weather called me outside and I connected with the elements and welcomed whatever wanted to be released, transformed and birthed on my canvas. I felt better already. The next day I was in total bliss connecting with my wild child (love that she wanted fluorescent pink!) and discovering the portals to new dimensions! Thank you, Shiloh, Jonathan and everyone for this beautiful quantum experience. "

"Of the dozen or so painting processes I have participated in with Intentional Creativity, Flow Nouveau has been one of my favorites. The freedom of expression was so engaging and exhilarating. Oh, and messy, I had paint splatters all over my studio including the tops and bottoms of my bare feet. I am usually intimidated by bringing a form to presence and this process did not require a form. Oh JOY! The inquiries based around the myth of the Selkie Seal were both deeply moving and enjoyably edgy to embody and express with fluidity on my canvas. As I am in a place of anticipating a transitional move this coming spring, I brought that inquiry to my painting process. The portal became the depth of beauty and value, as a place of infinite possibility/potential and choice...always knowing I have choice whether to cross a threshold or stay put until truly ready to enter the new, the unknown, the potential. Shiloh's storytelling and teachings combined with Jonathon's presenting of the Consciousness Cascade and Cognitive Bias continue to inform me on a daily basis as I make choices and decisions of how to live in more and more awareness and intention!

I worked on the painting over the next week, freely pouring new colors and playing with fluidity and whimsey on the canvas. Then, I completed the painting during the Street Art Process of Paint Her Name adding red stars and prayer dots for the voiceless missing and murdered Indigenous Woman. Added stone work to the portal which appears to represent somewhat of a tomb and a womb for transformation. The snail reminds be that I have the agency to show up where and when I desire and also to retreat within as required for my well-being. All while allowing me to expand my capacity for love and compassion! This painting truly is about freedom of choice and possibilities!"

"Here is my Flow Nouveau canvas as a 13-moon journey (as of Nov 3rd, 2023). Making prayer dots and rolling brush marks moves emotions out of my body and field and onto the canvas so I can stay present, embodied, and in flow. I am so grateful for our community and Intentional Creativity. Today its calling itself "Standing on Holy Ground"."

"Flow nouveau is my latest painting within the Intentional Creativity palette.  During this opus, I was exploring some old patterns and false beliefs about my ability and worthiness.  The message I received was, "You are not alone, and you are Divinely held and cherished."  As you can see, many helpful energies appeared as I painted.  This experience was like honey on my heart and gave me much comfort as I made decisions for the next step for my spiritual journey."
