WHAT IS SPONTANEOUS PAINTING?The I.am.I Spontaneous Painting Process increases the intellectual, creative and spiritual development of the Whole Human Being. Spontaneous Painting is a self-discovery process and unique approach in the creative arts that develops the participant's Authentic Self and creative personality. This process benefits both artists as well as people with no prior artistic experience who are curious to connect to their artist within. Inside of everyone exists an unknown essential Self yearning to create, if given the opportunity. This kind of creative Self-expression is a key for mental health preservation. Participants learn how to spontaneously create powerful paintings and express onto a blank canvas their unconscious symbolic images. Through this process people gain greater insight into their inner goals, life purpose, and rich inner world. When consciousness is not dominated by rational thinking, we can develop our multiple intelligences (I.am.I) and potentials through creative expression, such as our emotional intelligence, personal essential aptitudes, intuition, precognition, creative personality, and transcendent states. Participants are stimulated to paint their "limiting beliefs", express powerful emotions and have breakthroughs that may stimulate the development of new thought patterns. The objective is to paint with no concern for beauty or judgments.  |

What is the Symbol?
When we face a blank canvas and spontaneously express with no preconceived ideas, and are open to receive whatever colors or forms spontaneously arise, we open a channel for our unconscious contents to communicate in a symbolic language. The symbol is a psychic energy that exists in a dormant state in the unconscious, and the act of painting motivated by deep
emotion catalyzes (awakens) the contents of the symbol. All symbols are images but not all images are symbols. A symbol is an image with a deeper, more complex meaning. Through the painting of symbolic images we can contact an alternate form of wisdom. The act of Spontaneous Painting is a curative process, which catalyzes the symbols of one's Authentic Self (true identity), resulting in qualitative changes in our relationship to ourselves, and the way we relate toward one another.
The symbol is a universal resource which nature has bestowed upon us to evolve human consciousness. The symbol embodies energy of pure potentiality that lives in a dormant state in our Unconscious. The process of spontaneous painting liberates this powerful life force within. Each person's unique potential, Authentic and Higher Self, life direction and Innate Authentic Multiple Intelligences flow forth through the brushstroke onto the paper. No artistic training is necessary. Once our symbols are expressed, a transformative process is activated that initiates behavioral change. Our symbols begin to direct us from within.
Research confirms that symbolic images are multi-faceted, revealing new aspects of one's Self, and may continue to direct each painter's life for months and years after they appear. Symbols have a life and a direction of their own, and the rational mind must learn to sit back and allow another cognition to function, the language of symbolic images.
