Have you ever been so caught up in a problem that you just canโt see a way out? When words fall short and logical thinking isnโt enough, thereโs another kind of intelligence we can turn to one we reach through our hands, not our heads.
In this one-hour session, weโll explore Draw Your Answer: a simple, powerful practice for gaining insight into whatever situation youโre grappling with. Drawing or painting a problem lets you take it out of your head and see it from a different perspective. By shifting from thinking to visualizing, fresh insights and new options can appear often ones you couldnโt have reasoned your way to.
This isnโt about artistic skill or making something beautiful. Itโs about using art as a way to explore, reflect, and understand to engage with your emotions, intuition, and subconscious, all of which have real guidance to offer.
No experience needed. Just bring a dilemma youโd like to work on: something recent, something unresolved from the past, or even a current project youโd like more clarity on. It can be big or small. Bring some paper and whatever you like to draw with pens, pencils, pastels, crayons and an open mind.
Come and discover what your own inner wisdom already knows.
Marina Kurikhina is a creative intelligence practitioner and educator whose work has been featured in The New York Times, CNN, and other national media. She previously served on the faculty at the Esalen Institute and currently mentors at Relational Awakening.
Marina developed the Creative Subconscious Method and has taught it to thousands of people worldwide. She now trains therapists, coaches, and facilitators to integrate the approach into their group work and client practiceโparticularly during transitions when conventional approaches fall short.
She offers talks on creative thinking, problem-solving, and resilience, along with experiential workshops and group sessions.

As you will see in the registration form, there are two options for registering. However, thanks to the generosity of Neal Grossman, we are able to offer reduced (or even free) registrations to ensure that money never stands in the way of people expanding their horizons. If you are like Neal and are motivated to contribute a little more to help others, please selected the Supporting Angel ticket to make another free ticket available for future participants.
If you would like to receive a free or discounted registration, please just get in touch!
Note: We use a service called Zeffy to handle registrations because it eliminates credit card fees. However, the system defaults to including a donation to Zeffy at the same time. That fee is not required and can be easily eliminated or adjusted by simply selecting โOtherโ in that section.
You will also have the option to include an additional donation on top of the ticket price. Despite what it says on the form (which, alas, cannot be changed), any additional donations are divided equally between the Pari Center and ICRL.
