Intentional Creativity®

Zero talent required!

Everyone can imagine; therefore, everyone can create. Imagining that you are not a creative being is a false belief. We are each born to create and express ourselves! We can learn to access and enhance our creativity using meditation, movement, sound, writing, paint, and canvas. Through these mediums we can choose to discover imaginative ways to heal the pathways of the old stories that are not in our best interest.

When we activate our imagination (our inner visions) and blend that with our outer sight, what comes forth are new loving storylines. As they emerge our brain can be re-trained, (rewired and refired) creating new healing pathways. This practice is a powerful and effective method of self-care. This is not about talent but rather self-expression, and we all have an innate right to that! What do you say?

Art Is Healing

When I first discovered Intentional Creativity®, it felt like finding a warm, soft light in a room I did not even realize had grown dim.
I began with a brush in my hand, not knowing exactly what I was painting, only that something deep inside me was calling to be seen. As the colors moved across the canvas, I could feel my breath slow, my shoulders dropped, and a quiet voice, the one I had ignored for years began to speak.
This was not about “making art” in the traditional sense. It was about allowing my soul to show me what it had been carrying, what it longed to release, and what it yearned to remember. Every stroke, dash and dot became a prayer, a release, and a reclaiming.
Through this practice, I’ve watched pieces of myself that I thought were lost come home again. Old wounds softened, self-trust and confidence bloomed, and the inner critic grew quieter with each layer of paint.
Now, I hold this space for others; to pick up the brush, to listen deeply, to create not from skill but from soul. If you are longing to feel more whole, more expressed, more connected to your own truth, I would be honored to guide you through this same gentle, yet powerful, journey.
My deepest desire is for your healing process to begin. I have learned, it does not have to be hard…and it can be beautiful.

Moon Sanctuary ~ 13 Dark New Moons
We gather for about 2-3 hours on or near each New Moon. We begin our journey each month entering the Moon Sanctuary together as we recall the ancient ways of women gathering with the rhythms and healing energies of the moon. We will be based in part on myth, astrological story, music & drumming, symbols, and images of the Feminine Divine through archetypes of the Goddess. What seeds desire to be planted in you?
Class size is limited. Share stories and practice together in the discovery of our individual sense of inner connections to creative Source.
