portals beyond the ordinary
“When you come to the edge of all the light
you know and are about to step off
into the darkness of the unknown,
faith is knowing one of two things:
There will be something solid
to stand on,
or you will be taught to fly.”
– Patrick Overton

Dear Creative Soul,
We are all living through a time of significant change, something that is being called the Big Shift.
In your own life you may be experiencing some of these all too common expressions of this powerful transition:
Personally: Feeling an ongoing dissatisfaction with core aspects of your life…your job, where you live, even with yourself. And knowing deep in your bones that there is much MORE to life than what you feel on a daily basis.
Relationally : You may be all too aware of underlying discord with and between members of your family. You could be grieving the death of a loved one or navigating the loss of a close personal relationship. Or you might be desiring more honesty, realness and a deeper sense of community in all of your social connections.
Globally: You could find yourself feeling isolated, disconnected and exhausted because of all of the social upheaval related to divisions in politics, religion, war, poverty, the pandemic and displacement that is happening in the larger world.
Technologically: You could be feeling disoriented due to not enough in-person contact and overwhelmed by trying to navigate the complexities of maintaining virtual connection with others.
Another manifestation of this time of uncertainty and upheaval is that you might be questioning your very definition of success. Wondering if what you learned about success from your family and larger culture is even relevant anymore. And daring to ask yourself what it is that REALLY brings you joy and makes you come alive!
If you feel like you are being called to make changes within yourself to become more centered and whole in order to skillfully navigate these often massive shifts, know that you are not alone.
Sometimes the answers you are seeking may not be readily apparent, but clues to your longed for fulfillment may be strewn like invisible breadcrumbs along your path, guiding you to a new life of meaning and purpose.
Learning to see, hear, feel and recognize these clues can be the magic you need to open you to a whole new, sometimes surprising, way of living and being that you could never have imagined.
Your imagination is often your greatest ally on your journey of discovering what brings you joy.
Taking time to notice what draws your eye, sparks your curiosity, resonates in your body, or shows up in your dreams are sacred signals from your deeper self.
And sometimes just being drawn out of your comfort zone to experience something out of the ordinary can be what leads you off to your wildest dreams.
I was enticed to a painting workshop, (having never lifted a paintbrush) because it promised a means of self-discovery. It became the first step to directing me to ways of exploring my Deep Soul through art, collage, creative writing, breathwork, labyrinths and nature.
If you choose to work with me I will guide you on the journey of becoming your own spiritual pathfinder and help you discover who you came to be and how to connect with your true meaning and purpose.
Engaging with your soul through the powerful modalities of intuitive painting, expressive arts, soul collage and Holotropic Breathwork can support you in manifesting your desire to come more authentically alive during this promising time of The Shift.
This work can support your spiritual and psychological growth on not only a personal level but can empower you to discover and step into your bigger role in making this world a more beautifully life affirming place for everyone.
