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 Healing and Reiki.

I certified in Intentional Creativity® as a teacher and mentor, in 2015, and offer in person and online sessions. 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. I'm in the SoulCollage facilitator training with Mariabruna Sirabella, and look forward to adding that to my offerings!

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. In 2023 my word was Weave , and in 2024, Balance (Kauliki) Kathleen generally offers a more linear approach - using Dictionaries and Thesauri, after a quick review and release of any 'baggage' from the year just past, and then we decorated an Arrow .... This year , she invited a friend who facilitates SoulCollage (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 a...

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 -...

Roots and Wings

The invitation to one of my early Red Thread Circle read: 'It is often said we need to give our children roots for grounding, and wings to give their visions and dreams flight! Our creativity also thrives with roots and wings! Come explore what gives you stability, & vision into the dreams you'd like to give wings. We'll play with paint and paper and you'll leave with an altar piece to remind you of your own Roots & Wings.' Natasha's Tree What gives you Roots? What grounds you into your body, your home, your community? What do you - and your surroundings need to thrive? Where do you yern to spread your wings? What bogs you down - old baggage, old stories that 'it's about time' you tossed? What leaves are ready to drop? We drummed & rattled to connect with our roots, the things that give us stability. Our images shared commonalities, trees, earth, sky, greenery. We played with acrylics, tempra, a leaf stencil, collage to c...
