Michele Cassou Workshops U.S.A


The Point Zero Painting
Creativity Without Limits

Michele’s workshops are for those who want creativity to become a part of their life and who are searching for what is authentic in them. Beginners are welcome. In the workshops you will:

  • Discover your power to create
  • Feel the joy of spontaneous expression
  • Uncover your own true, original style of painting
  • Feel the live connection between you and your painting
  • Dissolve unnecessary patterns and conditioning
  • Learn to face and break through creative blocks
  • Explore your spirit at its source       

Your work will become as original and as unique as you are. The unrestricted flow of images and colors will bring healing and insights. No prior experience is necessary. There is no need to be specially inspired or gifted. What is authentic and beautiful in you will manifest when obstacles are removed and creativity is understood.
