PAINTING WITH SPIRit
Cultivating creative partnership with the invisible
A three-month creative spiritual journey.
Step through the veil into the imaginal, the ancestral - the wildly alive.
When you enter the realm of the Creative Mind that is undirected by expectation or control you cross through an invisible portal that allows paintings to flow through as a communication from a universal creative realm where everything is emergent and interwoven in the luminous body of creation itself.
Working from Creative Source paint flows in a way that follows the original pattern lines of Earth and Cosmos. We enter new and timeless domains of animacy and co-participation with the creational forces that birthed the galaxies.
From the air we breathe to the ground we walk on, we are held within a living field of co-creative Ancestor beings - planetary ancestors, cosmic ancestors, land kin, soul kin, plant, animal, and mineral allies including our bloodline ancestors - all of whom have shaped the very cellular contours of our being.
Every one of us carries the imprint of their resilience, curiosity and wisdom passed to us through everyone and everything that came before. Not one of us has less than we need.
Over three months of Painting with Spirit we will work together using the alchemical creational lens of Visual Medicine™ to pull through your guides, your kin, your Mother Tongue - the original undomesticated language that speaks through you in image, in sensation, in pattern - the visual hum beneath words.
Painting with Spirit is an immersion in the language of image as transmission from the realms of the Unseen. Guided by the paint and the practice of Visual Medicine™ we enter into direct relationship with these ancient originating forces that birthed us and the world.
I invite you to join me in creative communion with the Spirits of the world - our cosmic ancestors, soul kin, unseen allies, and the pattern languages of Deep Time.
No art making experience necessary.
Come as you are.
Each Visual Medicine™ image below is painted without brushes. The paintings arise as whole messages without intervention, additions or editing.

You want to experience art-making as a sacred practice
You long for spiritual connection that stretches beyond time
You sense a wisdom in your hands waiting to move through you

SPIRIT LOVES TO BE MADE MATERIAL…
What People Say about working with suzette
Through working with Suzette and Visual Medicine I have a new vision, a new hearing, different ways to feel extremely joyful.
I felt safe and loved by “other forms” that have come to meet me through the paintings!
I feel so grateful and extremely rich with these new ways to perceive myself, others, the world…
Julieta Glerand
Suzette’s training was the most heartfelt, intimate and soulful of spaces I’ve ever experienced. Her capacity to teach us how to open to places of insights, discoveries and transmissions through the paintings was transformative.
My heart was deeply moved and further healed with each module. I felt like I was on a heroine’s journey with my hand safely held.
Dr Jo Gosling
Seeing and mirroring. Seeing beyond words. Seeing through patterns, ancient lifetimes and dimensions, seeing with the eye of Source into every movement of paint - inviting the energy of Essence into the Here and Now manifesting in the images of the paintings.
I have never felt so close to this life…
