"I really loved the course because it helped me to let go of my perfection and start creating from my intuition and just do it. It taught me things about myself and I loved working & exploring with different materials each week. Also the vibe was great with lovely music, great guidance and we had a very supportive & lovely group. Would absolutely recommend."

“Anne and Aten create a warm and safe environment that sparks both intuition and creativity. I feel inspired to engage in more creative work. I hope there will be more courses to follow!"

"Thank you for an amazing course! It was a very special experience that I will cherish forever. The people I've met as well as the facilitators are very positive and supportive. You learn a lot of things about art, but also about yourself; what your interests, interpretations or fears and you start to slowly learn and unlearn to let go of what holds you back. It's also very inspiring to do this in a group setting because you reflect together and see people progress and you learn from each other. It's honestly been so satisfying and healing and a great experience!"

“Een innerlijke reis in 10 weken met vele avonturen! Je komt er rijker van thuis!”

"This class was worth every penny! Not only was it a fun and enjoyable way to spend the evening, it also helped me overcome a long habit of perfectionism. It reminded me that the process of creating is even more important than the final product. What a wonderful way to explore, grow and bond with classmates."

“Ik ben heel blij dat ik de intuitive art course heb gevolgd. Ik ben me meer bewust geworden van mijn rationele (beperkende) denken in het creatieve proces, heb geleerd hoe ik wat vrijer kan creëren zonder meteen ‘mijn kritische stem’ er overheen te horen, en ben hierdoor meer wat meer gaan vertrouwen op mijn intuitie bij het maken. Het experimenteren en kennismaken met de verschillende materialen was super leuk en ontspannend!”

“Hele speciale cursus omdat het doel van de cursus niet vaststaat. Meedoen was mijn doel op zich en ik was verrast over wat het in me naar boven haalde. Antwoorden op vragen in mezelf, een warm contact met mede cursisten en gewoon plezier hebben. Lieve zachtaardige docenten.”

“I was gifted this course - it was a blessing coming my way in a time of some big inner- shifts. I have loved the time, the space and freedom to explore art as a means of finding out more deeply hidden aspects of myself! I loved the group i was a part of - each of us so different and inspired in our own way. I felt a huge generosity of time, attention and materials by the teachers - and quiet care that held each of us in all our very different and yet, similar processes and journeys. What I expected, was not what I got. But what I got, as ever, was exactly what I needed. Do it. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain x Sarah Bolten.”

“This course encouraged me to let go of perfectionism and trust my inner guidance. I learned to release high expectations, which allowed me to enjoy the process and be more creative. I also discovered how to set my emotions free, using color, music, and movement as a way to express my feelings. The course was not only fun, but also healing. Thank you so much!”

I had so much fun being creative with the different materials and I loved working on a large scale. Every class I was in total bliss. Dear Anne & Atn thank you and see you next time!

“Highly recommended if you want to experiment with art but aren’t quite sure where to start. It’s almost meditative to work with a different material each week: no set goal, just following your intuition. When do you ever give yourself that kind of space? Truly worth it!”

“I was not sure how would intuitive art looked like so showed up to the course with no expectations, only a big desire to develop some new creative ways. Ended up a beautiful, inspiring group of girls and amazing teachers that almost felt like therapy session. Very happy to have had dedicated those 2h a week to myself surrounded in art! Special thanks to Pip for being so peaceful and inspiring to us in every lesson <3”

“I signed up for the 10-week intuitive painting course, because I felt the need to carve out some dedicated time for myself that would be creative, nurturing but not necessarily goal oriented. I found this all in this group, facilitated by the kind Aten. I enjoyed every Wednesday morning and experienced it as an anchor in my week. I got to play with colors, ideas, as well as some art history, and felt the time passing so quickly while so serenely too. I’m very glad I did this! “

“I just finished my 2nd course at Atelier Anima, this time the 4-week Intuitieve Painting and I loved it! Again! Every class felt so liberating. Big chance I will start the 10-week course in September as well. See you soon dear Anne & Aten.”

“I loved how each session began with gentle movement – taking up space, loosening the body, arriving in the moment. Every class, everyone went through such a different process, and I found it so interesting to hear everyone’s experience and reflections afterwards. It was such a gift to have a space where, for two hours you could simply create and express without judgment. Aten and Anne guided it all beautifully, making it feel both safe and inspiring.”

“Atelier Anima is place where nothing is expected and nothing needs to be explained. With Anne and Aten as guides, I truly felt as if I had entered a playgroud, no frames, no rules, just freedom. That lightness made it possible for something to emerge that I could never have planned, yet felt completely right.

The space itself invites slowing down and listening. It's not about performing, but about discovering what is already there.

For me, it was an experience of coming home to simplicity, and of finding myself in what I created. The only regret is that it ended after six weeks... I would have loved it to continue.”

“Intuitive painting was een heerlijke cursus, mijn wekelijkse momentje van rust en tijd voor mezelf. Aten is een hele fijne ‘facilitator’ die je thuis laat voelen en je sturing kan geven wanneer je denkt dat nodig te hebben. Het was heerlijk om vrij te schilderen zonder doel of het gevoel dat je iets ‘moois’ hoeft te maken, tegelijkertijd ben ik heel blij met wat ik heb gemaakt en was het waardevol om mijn eigen stijl te ontdekken en te verdiepen. Dank voor de fijne tijd!”

“I really loved the intuitive painting course. The classes had the perfect balance between guidance and the freedom to just create.
Felt like group therapy in a good way.
Would definitely recommend :)"
