Creativity Rediscovered with Michele Cassou and Cherie Ray
Mabel Dodge House in Taos, NM
The workshop begins Friday, May 9, 2025 after dinner (7:30pm MDT) and concludes on Saturday, May 17, 2025 at breakfast (9:30am MDT).
Studio check-in at 5:30-6:30 to pick your painting space and to get your brushes.
Taught by Michele Cassou via Zoom. Michele joins us mornings to teach the process and to answer questions. Cherie Ray and a supportive studio staff will be with you every step of the way, in the studio, to support your understanding and exploring of Michele’s Point Zero Intuitive Painting process. The on-site teaching staff has over 50 years of combined painting experience with Michele’s work. It is rare for most people to use painting for its qualities of inner adventure and self-discovery, to paint purely for the process of exploration, not for the result.
The purpose of this workshop is to provide a setting to explore the self through painting, to discover in form and color a powerful tool for uncovering and dissolving blocks to emotional and spiritual expression. Participants will be given the support and stimulation to develop a natural way of painting.
The work takes place in an authentic studio setting with large white surfaces to confront the creative void, along with a rich spectrum of colors and brushes. This is a rare setting where painters are invited to explore in a studio that is available 24/7 during the workshop.
No prior experience is necessary. Paints, paper, and brushes supplied. Please bring a smock or painting apron.

What people say about this workshop:
“I attended your workshop in Taos, and it was one of the best, most memorable experiences of my life. While I only met you through ZOOM, your exuberant spirit and teaching methods helped me find joy in painting that I think I once had as a child but lost somewhere along the way. I will be eternally grateful for having had the opportunity to study and paint under your direction.”
“Michele Cassou gives beautiful descriptions of the process of creativity in the mornings via Zoom. Cherie Ray facilitates this process for every individual like a magician, supporting us in our own letting go towards a freedom of expression that emanates into my life-for sure. Perfect.”
“Working remotely with Michele works very well. I gained a remarkable amount of insight about the process and myself from the morning sessions.”
“This workshop will be hard to top. There was plenty of support and the setting is incredibly peaceful and soothing.”
“Cherie and her crew really brought the enthusiasm and support.”
“Michele is wonderfully present via Zoom. It was so valuable to hear her answer our questions about the process and her experience over the years. Her enthusiasm and passion come through and it is infectious.”
