Testimonies
In intuitive painting, we easily get in touch with our emotions, needs and strengths. The workshop with Anne Grussner-Weiss was a marvelous experience in this direction. I can recommend it to all kinds of people to find strength in ones inner potential, especially in times of stress and worries like the present crisis.
I highly appreciate Anne as an unconventional sparring partner and coach, especially for creating an atmosphere of humanity and empathy where old thought patterns break and new viewpoints open. Anne’s contribution is drug free creativity enhancer !
I admit I was a little bit doubtful about the outcome of an “art” workshop in my case, as I am not practising any “art” myself. Anne was very professional and managed to inspire and engage all of us on the path of creativity, using a unique palette of tools, providing feedbacks, sharing her own experience, and fostering exchanges between us on our creations. It was such a mindfull and enjoyable experience ! ! I can highly recommend Anne to anybody as individual or company looking for inspiring workshops on how to foster creativity, to explore the power of expression and colours, and to let go beyond one’s imagination.
Our art gallery already hosted several debates moderated by Anne Grussner-Weiss. I really appreciated the way she manages to put the subjects into perspective and to synthetize complex issues together in a relaxed atmosphere.
About
Anne Grussner-Weiss
Consultant, creative Facilitator and artist
My passion’s source comes from helping discover the wonderful power of art for individuals and groups.
Being familiar with both artistic and economic worlds, I wanted to make them meet in cooperation. My conviction that these two worlds could greatly benefit from each other, was lacking something. After reuniting with apersonal artistic experience, I then could fully understand the power of it.
Art is a universal language. Artistic expression reflects the unique caracter (bakarra, in basque language) of each person. It’s a wonderful resource to
- revive the pleasure of creating and inventing, alone or in a group
- finding sense
- generate original solutions in a complex world
- speed up cohesion and inclusion in a group
I launched BAKARRA – Art is a Change Maker to facilitate these features and reach various audiences.
