Alchemizing our pathway

 What a wonderful weekend spend with the sistarhood! In painting our Medicine in Apothecary, we alchemize our pathway of access to inner knowing, using creativity to consciously transmute old stories.

Serpentine Path
In talk therapy, we can spend hours, months, even years reflecting and analyzing ... until the cows come home! 

When we add inquiry and creative processes, a desired shift becomes actionable - you're ’re not just talking about your life, you can transform it!

Dance of color
In Medicine painting, we take energetic conditions, and learn together how to move that energy through, contain it, catalyse and change  it, distil it, and bottle it. And at the end, we have a medicine cabinet of our own making.

This metaphor of self-as-container opens a new layer of insight. It invites you to explore the architecture of your being—not as something solid and fixed, but as something spacious, sacred, and capable of holding multitudes. What am I holding now? What might better serve me?

What goes here?
Journal prompts:
  • What 2-3 stories currently hold me back? 
  • Compost and heat them up to alchemize - Metacognative sketch: scribble! Focus on desired shift and doodle for 5 minutes
  • What wants to move through me?
  • What superpower is now available?
I choose choose my music and the dance; I'm the Medicine the world needs!

Word of the Year

  For Several years, my friend Kathleen has offered a Word of the Year Playshop at our church in January.  She generally uses a more linear approach - using Dictionaries and Thesauri, after a quick review and release of any 'baggage' from the year just past ... This year , she invited a friend who facilitates Soul Collage (tm) to join us, and we chose images! Both Kathleen and Deandra brought a bunch of images from magazines, cards and calendars, and laid them out on several tables,  for us to gather from.  Card size is general 5×7" or 5x8" and we could choose from several colours of mat board for our background . Other materials included an index card, glue sticks and scissors.  My workstation We did a quick year review and release, then choose images, and started to fine tune and arrange them. After we'd glued the images, we paired up, and one of the dyad acted as scribe for the other:  I am the one who .. .. My partner, used to a more linear and 'heady'...

I've got a Plan!

Last April, after the start of our  Artist in Residence time , Shiloh Sophia and her own business coach Amy Ahlers offered a creativity based business class called Dancing Entrepreneur. While most gals were from our creative community, several other creatives joined us. Posts which really caught my eye were of  Karen Dawn 's Visual Planning system , and I joined her Beta Test group on crafting similar systems of our own! I love Karen's creative approach to planning! (Her  blog  includes some of these teachings! She also introduced me to Neurographica!) Vision Plan Board My visual planner is on a foam board left over from a vision board class, and holds my Medicine Basket, one of the Dancing Entrepreneur action cards, a couple of Neuro-Noodles plus - pockets. Who doesn't love these little pockets? The clothesline is a ribbon, and I simply taped the ends to the back of the board using painter's tape! You can use nails or eye hooks to tack the lines directly on a wall -...

Time will be allotted for Journaling, and crafting background papers for several Mixed Media visionary cards. Cindy has chosen a Word of the Year for 14 years, and loves using creative processes to explore and  activate  her words! This is a great way to set your intention for what you'd like to accomplish and gain clarity. Each 3 hour session is offered on a pay what you can fee, with $30-45 sugges...
