Beloved Masterpieces LLC is a paint healing business that offers guided paint lessons that incorporate group discussion, reflection, and coping strategies to support BIPOC youth, women, and families heal from life’s challenges. Whether it is loss, community grieving, societal traumas, or feelings of hopelessness, we aim to give our participants an outlet through painting to experience joy. We start each session with guided breathing to release toxins stored in the body, followed by art prompts that guide reflection from the current challenges faced in life related to relationships, systemic racism, or the pressures the many hats we wear as striving people of color. We go over the meanings of the colors and walk through a connection tonature and elements in the earth to feel the depth of the colors. We then move into a step-by-step instructor led painting that the whole group follows for a community themed picture that they each will take home.  We also facilitate six week BIPOC women leadership and healing experiences that end in a weekend retreat centered around deep forgiveness, personal acceptance, sisterhood, and goal setting. Women who participate in these leadership experiences leave feeling lighter,empowered, and strengthened in their purpose. Overall, our sole mission is to provide opportunities for art to be used as a vehicle to process clogged up trauma and the need for expression that sometimes we cannot articulate in words, through the stroke of a paint brush.
