Happy 2024 Dear Ones! What a beautiful entry into the year with so many cosmic events to kick start this new age of Aquarius we have entered and the many upgrades we are all getting. Moving from the darkness into the light. Moving from resistance into the heart. It has been a month of many layers and creative impulses. Most significantly, the many totem animals and “messengers” that my spirit guides have sent me this month to let me know that big things are coming and that it is time to take action.
There are many ways in which your spirit guides, the invisible team of helpers that are always with each of us, communicate. Some of the ways I am aware of are: through repeated number sequences, synchronistic events, dreams, songs and in nature. I received all of them this month, just to make sure I got the message!
The number sequences of 222 (alignment) and 555 (change) were everywhere. “I’m a survivor” by Destiny’s Child playing on repeat in my mind. Dreams of leaving the old shipwreck of my life and sailing a brand new yacht into the vast ocean of possibilities. Seemingly random messages on social media from strangers sharing their kindness and encouragement. And then all the animal totems showing up. Three dead frogs – time for change is now. The bird nations: Fairy Wrens, tiny Finches, flock of Ibis and Eagle soaring above me – I am being guided and supported. And just when I asked for something bigger to confirm the visions of my future life a White Stag crossed my path in the middle of a suburban walking track! - one of the rarest animals to witness and having the White Stag cross my path was incredible. I stood there watching it in disbelief, there it was in the midst of some trees munching on leaves. It looked straight at me and then walked into the thick of the bush. I wasn’t sure what the meaning was, as this was my first time encountering such an awesome creature, but I knew it was something BIG. Here is what one source shares about the White Stag:
“White Stag is a sign you stand at the gateway to a whole new spiritual level of understanding. The White Stag’s appearance means you have Spirit Guides lending energetic support to you for the emotional or spiritual work ahead. White Stag also comes to remind you to walk with integrity and remain mindful of your thought-forms. The creature’s presence is an omen, signaling a time of manifestation. “. – what is my spirit animal.com
My spirit guides were definitely upping the ante and I got the message! I came home, re-designed my logo, created a whole series of “Mindful Me” cards, and launched a new series of workshops “Creative Soul: Art & Meditation” due to begin on 25 February.
The White Stag was something I couldn’t ignore or pass off. Although, I am pretty good at deciphering the messages, I was sitting with some major resistance around this new direction and I had a series of excuses of why I couldn’t begin. However, when Spirit starts calling, its best to answer! And with the certainty of the support of my guidance team I am now feeling super excited to begin!
To kick off 2024 I am launching the CREATIVE SOUL: ART & MEDITATION workshops the first in a series to start on 25 February.
“Creative Soul: Art & Meditation” is an immersive workshop designed to foster relaxation and unlock the wonders of creative flow. This workshop offers a unique blend of artistic exploration and meditative practices, aimed at harmonising the mind, body, and spirit. Over the course of this enriching experience, participants are invited to embark on a journey of self-discovery, tranquility, and artistic expression.
At the heart of “Creative Soul” lies the belief that creativity is not just an act of producing art but a holistic process involving mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The workshop is crafted to guide attendees through various forms of meditation – from mindfulness, sound journeys, to movement-based techniques – creating a foundation of inner peace and focus. This meditative grounding paves the way for the artistic journey, allowing participants to tap into their subconscious and unleash their creative potential.
The art sessions are thoughtfully designed to cater to all skill levels, emphasising the process over the product. Participants will explore a range of mediums – from painting and drawing to sculpture and mixed media. These activities are not just about creating art; they are gateways to accessing deeper parts of the self, facilitating personal growth and self-expression.
As the workshop progresses, participants will notice a harmonious blend of relaxation and creative stimulation. The tranquil atmosphere, combined with the rhythmic flow of artistic activity, nurtures a state where stress fades and creativity flourishes. The synergy of art and meditation creates a powerful conduit for releasing mental blocks, healing emotional wounds, and discovering untapped sources of inspiration.
“Creative Soul: Art & Meditation” is more than a workshop; it’s a rejuvenating retreat for the mind and spirit, a sanctuary where one can unwind, explore, and reconnect with their innermost creative essence. Whether you’re an experienced artist or a curious beginner, this workshop is a gateway to a more relaxed, creative, and fulfilled self.
