Guided by Susan Romito, this experiential painting workshop is aligned with the energy of the Lionsgate Portal to support letting go of what no longer serves and clarifying the life you want to create. Through a step-by-step creative process, you will acknowledge and release limiting beliefs, outdated stories, and self doubt, then reshape them on the canvas into something encouraging and beautiful. As stagnant energy moves, expect renewed clarity and a fresh perspective while reconnecting with intuition and creativity. You will complete a meaningful artwork that mirrors your personal transformation and take away a simple practice you can return to whenever you need renewal and release. No art background is needed, since the emphasis is on inner change rather than technique. Arrive exactly as you are and leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more in tune with your truest self. The investment is $60, and preregistration is required.

Primordial Sound Meditation is a personalized mantra practice grounded in the Vedic tradition of India, created to settle mental activity and invite a deep sense of calm. A traditional Vedic formula is used to determine each person’s unique sound, selected from the vibrations present in nature at the time of birth. The word mantra comes from Sanskrit and is commonly understood as a tool for the mind, helping to disengage from external distractions. This training is presented in four sessions. It starts with the fundamentals of meditation, its origins, and the role of a personal mantra. A private one on one ceremony follows, where the individual mantra is given. The next session focuses on practical skills for building a steady practice. The final session looks at expanding awareness and experiencing higher states of consciousness. With this structured approach, participants learn to cultivate inner stability, ease stress, and support overall well-being, vitality, and happiness.
