Painting from the Inside Out, with Penny Allport
- 5 week journey
- Tuesday evenings
- November 22 – December 20, 2011
- 6:45 – 9:00 p.m.
- Dream Lodge, Wilson Creek
In the days leading to the Winter Solstice, our ancestors felt the increase of the gestating darkness all around them. Meeting the blank page is a meeting with this mystery.
We begin with gentle explorations in breath, movement and perceptual inquiry to awaken the potency that lies within. As we approach the empty page, brush in hand, color dripping from its tip, awake to the possibility of just one authentic gesture, we are welcomed by a numinous longing not easily spoken of or articulated in any other form.
In the embrace of this mystery we can never fully understand, we merge in a co-creative process with that which is dreaming us. What emerges is a surprise, filled with the potency of expectancy and a willingness to not know. The energy of the unexpected calls us more deeply as images, shapes and form arrive without our contriving. We see and are seen by the emerging light on the page.
As the sun stands still at Winter Solstice we will stand, sit and move together with these dreams (paintings) in a dreamtime inquiry to deepen integration of the medicine of each painting (last evening of classes).
(This process is a wonderful way to explore physical, mental, emotional, creative or spiritual questions or challenges in our lives. The Inner Physician is an artist just waiting to give birth to healing images specific for each of us in each moment.)
- 5 classes – $150.00
- (Two come for $250.00) (all supplies included)
To register call 604 885 4663 or email:pennyallport@gmail.com
cash, cheque, visa & mastercard accepted
Honor the ancient and universal practices of incubation and dream healing as potent medicines of integration and deep physical, mental and spiritual nourishment.
Allow the season of Winter to mirror the art of slowing down, to deepen listening, feeling and experiencing capacities in the place of our most essential Soul work – the body.
Join with others to rest, dream and open to new possibilities for our lives and the collective process of transformation we share as human beings on the planet Earth at this potent moment in time.

Being Green Again – A Day of Retreat
with Penny Allport & Amy Kiara Ruth

- 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
- Cost $85.00 plus hst
- Location: Paradise Found, Wilson Creek, Sunshine Coast, BC
"We began as a mineral We emerged into plant life and into the animal state, and then to being human And always we have forgotten our former states, except in early spring, when we dimly recall being green again." Rumi Join us for a day of inquiry in what it means to be "green again."
Through explorations in Continuum Movement, Continuum Montage, perceptual inquiry and How Life Moves (work of Kevin Frank and Caryn McHose), we will traverse the trail of the body’s biological history.
In the playful field of possibility, we will enter the organic origins of life unfolding, and foster new ways of being embodied humans at this potent time in the evolution of consciousness on the planet.
In the history of our biological evolution lies the secret of “being green again” in all of its facets and freedom.
In breath, sound and movement inquiries we will open the potential for new movement possibilities and the reorganization of patterns of inhibition, separation and pain. Join us and be green again!
Penny Allport is a creative explorer on the journey of being an embodied human. For over 20 years she has facilitated individuals and groups (through movement, dreams, writing, painting and creative process) in the inquiry of the “art of being human.” Informed and in appreciation of Yoga, Continuum Movement, Continuum Montage (Susan Harper), and the work of Kevin Frank, Caryn McHose and Hubert Godard (perceptual inquiry), her deepest resources lie in direct experience and an awakening to the imagination of the natural world. www.pennyallport.com
Amy Kiara Rut, BSc (Kin, Ed) is a kinesiologist and somatic movement educator.

Painting from the Inside Out
with Penny Allport
Mondays 6:45 – 9:00 p.m.
Monday, May, 23 – June 20, 2011
Dream Lodge, Wilson Creek, Sunshine Coast
$150.00 (supplies included)
The days leading to the Summer Solstice are filled with creative potential and possibility. In Painting from the Inside Out we can ride this wave of plenitude and nourish the seeds of our inner longings at this time.
Through breath, movement and sound, we land in the deep swells of the formative fluid calling for expression. In instinctive and spontaneous gestures, we surf in the movement of liquid color as new life is birthed through the midwifery of Soul.
Dwelling in process, rather than product, we play in the continuum of the birthing taking place on the planet and in our beings at this most precious time on the planet.
Come, Move, Paint, and
“give birth to the future waiting to be born.” (Rilke)
