Red Hat Legend - 2018

As a visionary artist and guide, it is my pleasure to assist others in living more joyful lives via creativity.

I encourage you to explore your own gifts though thoughtful inquiry, doodling, affirmation and creativity.

Tools in my Medicine Basket include Intentional Creativity®, movement, Harmonic Sound Healing and Reiki.

I certified in Intentional Creativity® as a teacher and mentor, in 2015. I'm also a Reiki Master teacher (1991) and harpist.

I enjoy collaboration with other creatives, and co-host virtual Red Thread Circles monthly. I lead in person sessions, creative Playshops and Reiki classes at all levels in my Oregon community.

My goals: to invite self reflection, and spark access to your OWN images and stories, making the creative process accessible and fun!

Warning - Insights and bursts of creativity, re-aligning with your values and life path often follow...

Word of the Year

For Several years, my friend Kathleen has offered a Word of the Year Playshop at our church in January.

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.

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 -...

Queen bee During each of our monthly classes, we'll use creative processes to gain further insights into working with our Words, and keep the energy of our intentions alive. In our first session this Friday, we'll explore the theme of our ’inner Visionary’ creating and 'meeting' a Soul Collage™ Visionary card. 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...
