I am just coming back from a personal retreat, a time of remembering a close childhood friend who recently passed away. During this time I honored this deep and abiding friendship that started at a pivotal time in my life. Taking extra time to consciously restore my energies, this was truely a time to celebrate life, and still honoring that grief was woven […]

It is illuminating to feel and face, reconnect […]

It was a magical building and grounds, classical with a central open piazza, 30 foot columns, surrounded by gardens and flanked by studio spaces and a private home. My […]
Your visual narrative is an unfolding story, knowing who you have been and who you are can help you to choose who you will be, as you journey. This is an active happening. Visual narrative, whether in art making, image based process, intuitive traveling or dreaming, is all visioning and not separate from experience. It is experience. Visioning is active. Story […]
What is a Root Story? Root Stories are nutrient rich energetic conduits that allow you to connect to your inner wisdom. Root Stories are found in those parts of your life that you return to at unexpected moments; marked by active recognition and re-remembering.

Are you sensitive, intuitive or creative? This is not a trick question… How about highly sensitive, deeply intuitive and /or extremely creative?
