Art and Medicine: Aura Painting

5 week course starting on Friday 3rd March 

Course Description:

Delve deeper into the ancient healing systems of Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine to discover your unique mind-body constitution type, learning how to better understand, utilise and harmonise your natural energy for creativity and wellness.

Each week will explore one of the five -phase archetypes; “The Leader, The Visionary, The Alchemist, The Healer & The Reader”. The sessions will study the mental, physical and spiritual qualities of each type, recognising their unique patterns, strengths and aversions. Expanding your self-awareness, expression and vision, you will create a series of abstract self-portraits, representing your own aura and energetic archetype in watercolours.

The classes will integrate ecosomatic techniques, sensory-led sketching exercises and colour theory to explore the concepts of energy and aura in both art and medicine. Considering tone, texture, scale and shade, you will develop a visual language to express your understanding of energetic concepts.
