Program Design

Once delivered from Shani’s personal studio in Melbourne, Australia the Program is now fully and powerfully delivered in an online environment so location is no barrier and you can take it at your own pace in your own studio. The design follows a structure of modules that build upon each other, supported by group and personal coaching, so the student explores new territory in a framework of rigor and care to grow in confidence and understanding of their unique self expression.

Program Selection

Shani only works with painters that will truly benefit from her unique methodology and course structure, so the painter must have watched the WEBINAR which introduces a 5 step module that her women painters use to paint vibrant, authentic paintings. The WEBINAR takes 50 minutes and is brimming with lots of ideas and at the end links to BOOK A CALL where, together, we explore where the painter is at, where they would like to be and what’s been holding them back. Both parties will know if the painter has come to the right place for this next important stage of their creativity and a place is offered with a $500 deposit to secure it.

The Program lived up to all my expectations and then some!   One of the best and most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had and at the end of it all I walked out with beautiful paintings, a new-found confidence and some amazing friends.  Great art and a spiritual connection in the most caring, nurturing and mentoring environment, certainly helped all our spirits emerge. I am so grateful Shani gave so much of her beautiful self to us all and that will stay with me always.”

“Before doing Shani’s course I couldn’t put my finger on what I wasn’t happy about. I had a happy family and great life but something was missing. Aside from my amazing paintings, I have made friends and have a direction now I didn’t have before. I love that we all walked away with something totally different which proved Shani’s dedication to us individually, as she promised. I am richer for the experience.”

We Always Do The Inner Work

Our minds are not always our friend and often stuff gets in the way when we are trying to be self-expressive, so we use a number of tools to learn to connect, meet our blocks and remove them, and listen and track what our inner guidance wants to show us. That is where the lasting transformation occurs and the results are truly amazing.

“The practical sessions on creating an impactful composition were priceless, as were the female hero artists who were truly inspiring and I loved every one for different reasons. But, I unexpectedly loved the whole process of the spiritual work/tools and I experienced many breakthroughs, in particular made peace with a major life event. Over the weeks I found my creative inspiration and formulated my next collection and am truly inspired to get-moving. Overall I feel I got way more than my monies worth. Shani is a very special lady who gives of herself in a personal, spiritual and practical way. Learning to paint with her was only part of the program, learning about my self was a very important part of my journey.”

Through it I have regained a confidence in myself and my art I sadly thought had gone.  You gave everything you promised and so much more. Your generosity is a beautiful thing. You listened to me when sometimes we live in a world where the listeners are few and far between. You have a true gift. Thank you”

A Deeply Present, Dynamic and Intuitive Teacher 

Shani Alexander is known for her joie de vivre and grabs life by both hands in celebration. She holds formal qualifications in Painting, Printmaking, Adult Learning, Psycho-Spirituality, Nursing and Small Business and has undertaken thousands of hours of personal, spiritual and business coaching including being a senior graduate of Landmark Education and learning under John Demartini, Lorel Langmeier, Brandon Bays, Anthony Robins, Jonathon Gustin and Robert Kiyosaki

Shani was a grand finalist in the 2010 Entrepreneurship Awards and nominated for the Telstra Business Women’s Awards for the creation of VirtualRelocator™, Australia’s only relocation software program, purpose-built to meet the needs of international movers to all major Australian cities. Used widely across the corporate/government sectors, since 2002, VirtualRelocator™ assisted more than 10,000 families call Australia home. She has interacted at the senior level of creative thought-leadership, developed and implemented programs for both government and multi-national corporate Australia, including developing online learning programs for professional development. As an artist, the themes of spirituality, colour and expressionism are woven into the details of her designs which she re-works to curate strongly as a collection and she has participated in numerous shows with work hanging in Parliament House and many private homes around Australia and Asia.

Life took a change in direction when she found her brother passed away and a rethink of her direction saw her qualify in workplace chaplaincy and a return to her art. With a professional understanding of entrepreneurship, business, adult education and the human spirit, Shani hosts shows and programs to facilitate creative breakthroughs and to revive and follow the spirit to birth the authentic voice.  She is a fearless but gentle, deeply present, dynamic and intuitive teacher whose painting programs are known for the personalized tuition and expansion her participants experience. 

Shani says her own life is underpinned by this quote “Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.”
