Keith offers a wide range of workshops and consultation sessions: The following list is a fairly comprehensive one, but if you'd like a particular combination of topics or you have other suggestions, please contact him.

In terms of duration of session, the options for all topics (unless specified) are:
3hrs - over half a day. Minimum 2 people. These workshop style sessions may be shared with other guests or day visitors and will generally teach a technique or topic and help you apply it.
These workshops can be extended over as many days as you'd like, with 3hrs tuition and guidance each day.
1hr, one-to-one consultation, aimed at helping you more directly and personally.
Note that if you do a 3 hour session as an individual, we'd charge the hourly rate, but include lunch.

About Pintados Healing Arts
Pintados healing arts evolved as a result of the meeting between Liz Allen and Keith Beasley in June 2002.
Liz had been running the successful Pintados workshops since 1997 and Keith teaching Reiki as a self-healing method since 1996.
Liz wanted to develop her monoprint and collage workshops from teaching a technique, into exploring the approach of 'going with the flow', allowing the process of creating to extend into all areas of being in the moment, and in meeting Keith, their common aims inspired them to establish Pintados Healing Arts.
They are now able to offer a range of workshops experiences, combining their wealth of experience, which they hope will enable those who are searching for their path and expanding their awareness, to make the right changes to enrich their lives.
With their move to the Algarve in 2005, their approach isn't so much teaching their creative, holistic and spiritual approach, as Living It . . .and inviting their guests to join them.
