Sharing my story is a way of connecting to OUR stories, how we see, feel and live life in different ways at different times. When times are hard and we are brought to a place of breaking, how can the connections to journey work offer a safe place to land and discover how to bring […]
Dreaming is a powerful connective conduit to the creative process. I was exposed, early in my training, to indigenous ways of knowing and shamanic dreaming traditions within Native American, Hawaiian, Saami, and Celtic tribes which are aligned with gathering and interpreting messages, symbols and healing stories over time. Based on my own experience, and my work with others, dreaming is […]
Exploring the qualities and energies of the Healer as a universal archetype is like embarking on a very long sea voyage. An odyssey that moves us past the edges of our oceans, through time and space, into a flickering cosmos of moving images where life, light and darkness swirl. Like spiral galaxies gathering all of […]
This poem is an unfolding narrative that emerged spontaneously as I was working with several pieces of art that were lying around my studio space. When I am gathering and breathing into something new, it is valuable to find words that allow me to feel more deeply what I am seeking and finding. A narrative poem can be a new […]
The symbol of water invites us to listen. We listen with our water bodies and align our breath with stillness so that we can hear the call of the waters. We listen through our emotions, as feelings flow we ride the waves of stormy seas and find our way into new territories. We feel the effect […]
We know our sacred waters, we dwell within them and feel them from the inside out and the outside in. The waters within our bodies touch the waters of this world, connecting form to form and flow to flow. Our tears, like dousing rods move us and help us to find our way through grief. We […]
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 […]
I have explored archetypes from many perspectives and have always been intrigued by the Major Arcana in the tarot as source material. The Tarot is an exciting source of symbolic language and images that have their roots in alchemy are evocative when exploring our own stores through imagery. The Twins or The Lovers as an archetype, […]
Art is a tool for exploration. Many of us work with art, whether visual, written or hybrid, as a language of exploration. A magnifying glass that allows us to get closer to something that we are looking at or working with. Art-making is at its core a language of the soul. Whether you decide to call […]
Bones and tendons, discs shifting, equilibrium compromised, my world came crashing down around me – I was forced to come to a halt. Burdened, over giving and controlling – I was the fierce mother who couldn’t let go. My body told me it was time to stop and the herniated disc told me of a deeper internal pain […]
