Absolutely brilliant! The freedom to put colour on the canvas and create something that directly reflects who you are in life. Everything was excellent. Loved the small size of the group, please keep doing this as it is awesome! I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Postscript: Even though I was physically really tired last night I have to tell you I noticed as I was getting into bed last night and again this morning that my heart feels a lot lighter....very interesting.

I found the Hearts Wisdom Art class both interesting and fun and the small group made it very personal and allowed Marnee to give each of us lots of help and guidance. I loved the technique that Marnee taught us so we could create a painting from the heart rather than from the head. I also enjoyed working with water-coloured paints. Such beautiful colours and shades when overlaid! It was so interesting to see how each member of the group expressed themselves through the painting. Finding pictures and seeing messages in the art work afterwards was wonderfully insightful and rewarding. I can’t wait to do my next painting to see what other messages my heart has to give to me! Thanks Marnee! |
My experience was learning about one's self and having the opportunity to let go of past hurts and unresolved issues. Excellent! Thanks Marnee,
for the opportunity to create a painting that has given me insight into what I need to focus on at the moment.

I first met Marnee through a mutual friend when she agreed to give a talk about Heart’s Wisdom Art Classes to our meditation group. Feeling very drawn to the paintings and colours, I was intuitively guided to enrol in a class. Initially, I was very focused on trying to get it right and very judgemental of my own painting. Marnee kindly reassured me that there is no right or wrong and to just allow the flow to happen. I found being able to express myself through colour, shape, form, line and music to be extremely therapeutic and cathartic. Marnee’s professionalism and her technique taught me to clear the clutter and stress from my mind and access imagination and creativity. My awareness expanded into the present moment as my focus became totally at one with the work of art in progress. Marnee explained and guided me through each stage of the process with clarity and compassion. I loved each stage of the process including the washing away of the layers. Some found this the most therapeutic as they cleansed away all the stress and mind chatter with clean water. The end result was amazing as underneath all the layers, a positive message was revealed. At first, I had trouble interpreting the message but with Marnee’s gentle encouragement and enthusiasm from others in the class, the message became clear to me. And how relevant it was to that period in my life. |
After 15 years, finally releasing the grief of losing my husband, amazing, exhilarating! Everyone should have this opportunity. Janice R
Dear Marnee
I am writing this letter to express my deep appreciation for the journey you led me through on 13th December 2005 when I undertook your spiritual art program.
I have been through quite a lot in the last few years including the death of loved ones and the upheaval of my family when moving to the coast. I thought I had dealt with my emotions and moved on but your class made me realise that I had merely suppressed them and I was wearing a mask to the outside world. I realised I was feeling depleted, just had no more to give and was burdened with responsibility.
You provided the tools and guidance and I was truly overwhelmed by the discoveries that day. Because of you I am learning to be kinder to myself and not ‘stress out’ so much. My relationship with my son and husband has already improved as I am communicating my feelings and they have newfound respect and understanding for me as an individual and not just the person who keeps house.
My job satisfaction has improved as I do not allow the negative environment to penetrate my mood and I am recognising my worth as an employee. I have also found your meditation technique very useful to relieve stress after a long day at work.
It is difficult to fully communicate how powerful the affects were on me as each day brings a new discovery. It is as though you put me on the road to where my fulfilment of life and recognition of self can continue to unfold and blossom.
I realise now if I had kept going on the same way as before I would drop further into a depressive state and may have even suffered a nervous breakdown. You have taught me to open my mind to my heart and this surely has guaranteed my mental good health.
I would enjoy participating in another class and only hope you are able to keep offering this valuable program.
Yours truly
Theresa M
I have worked with Marnee now for over four years, and in this time have found her to be extremely kind, thoughtful, considerate, honest and professional. |
