Cahoots, Magic

Cahoots

April 12, 2017

The dictionary definition of cahoots is: colluding or conspiring together secretly.

My own definition of being In Cahoots is: secretly conspiring with the Universe.

Being In Cahoots is about learning how to actively participate in all that is the adventure of your life. And it is an invitation to play with the fact that you are – in fact – a piece of the divine, having a human experience.

So many of us talk about feeling out-of-sorts, ashamed, unbalanced, unhappy, lost, lonely, frustrated, powerless, held back, or even afraid on a regular basis.

So many of us feel like an imposter, like at any moment we are going to be found out for our big fat lie. We are trying so hard to be better, to be a light, to change our lives, and yet we still ache.

We never seem to get… there.

Being In Cahoots is about reclaiming our power and our connection with what matters. It is about realising that the ‘there’ we are looking for is actually a completely fictional destination.

This isn’t to say that all of it is going to be glitter and champagne cocktails at sunset. Shit, as they say, happens. But I firmly believe that the only power we have in any moment is choice. In every moment the power lies in how you are going to react to whatever is happening.

Being In Cahoots is about making better choices. It’s about learning how to stop chasing and start creating. It’s about a sparkle in your eye and a spring in your step. It’s about the magic of knowing that you are totally supported.

It’s about cultivating your powers of wonder and curiosity and love and then living from there. Every day.

It’s about playing with the Universe.

Do you want to play?

21 Secrets

February 17, 2016

“Together we will release the energy stored up on your hard drive, liberate you from the tyranny of unclicked icons, and show you what your soul has been asking for all along.” – Me.

I am so excited to announce that I am one of the teachers for 21 Secrets this spring! I KNOW!

21 Secrets is an incredible 150+ page downloadable eBook filled with 25+ hours of videos, full coloured photos, templates, and clear instruction that will inspire and deepen the way you approach art journaling.

For me, art journalling has always been a kind of mythical land that other people played in. I just ended up with a big old mess in my journals! That is until 21 Secrets! I was always really inspired by Connie Solera’s art, so when I saw this a few years ago, I bought one (in an attempt to make something vaguely pretty just once) and was so surprised to find so many workshops and videos and ideas, that I could do whenever I felt like – no time pressure, no pressure at all! I ended up making MANY beautiful things.

I highly highly recommend it if you have any sort-of hankering to make art. This year it is full of techniques and tips – which means it’ll be even easier to move into a space of art making – bliss!!

My workshop is called: Dear Me: rehabilitation & play for those who buy but don’t do/ finish/ or even open e-courses.

This workshop is about understanding what your soul is searching for and giving it a voice. Using simple tools such as guided writing, cut and paste, and journalling, together we will release all of the soul energy that is stored away on your hard drive. So many people have bought and paid for e-courses, pdfs and ebooks and either started but never completed them or never even opened them up in the first place. Now they are just a collection of to-dos or – worse – a whole folder of self-doubt and shame. Well no more! Those unopened, unfinished things are simply messages from your own soul. It wants something. It is asking for something. It needs something. Together we will release the energy stored up on your hard drive, liberate you from the tyranny of unclicked icons, and show you what your soul has been asking for all along.

(AND until the 19th, if you enter coupon code: springsecret when checking out and you will save $10!)

I hope to see you there!

Win a Free Spot in The Spectrum 2016 Online Workshop!

January 24, 2016

I am so excited to announce that I am going to be one of the teachers for Spectrum 2016! Not only that, but to celebrate this, I’m also giving away one spot in the workshop.

Spectrum is an online Holistic-Creative workshop going on its third year, and organised by Hali Karla of Hali Karla Arts. Spectrum 2016 will be guided by 20 NEW featured teachers and more than 20 returning contributors offering a variety of workshops, inspiration and invitations – all intended to empower, nurture and celebrate your innate creative expression, healing journey, and personal development!

There will be weekly inspiration & reflective activities related to mixed-media art-making and journaling, guidance on integrating your creative process and holistic awareness into your day-to-day life, and a variety of opportunities to connect, support and share with others in the growing Holistic-Creative online community.

The themes that will loosely guide our 2016 Spectrum experience are Forgiveness, Shifting Perspective, Navigating Uncertainty, Integration, Alchemy, Connecting with Nature, Honoring Body, Trusting Joy, and Expressing One’s Truth! You can expect a variety of perspectives on these – and so much more.

To learn more about the details, including all of the contributors and workshop offerings for this course CLICK RIGHT HERE.

I am currently creating my brand new Spectrum workshop for you – it is called, Mother Tree: The art of seeing the forest and the trees.

What is my workshop about?

There are times in our lives when the questions we hold in our hearts are bigger than our human connections. There are times when we don’t have the words or even the emotions to explain or share what is happening in our hearts. It is at times like this that it is important to have a connection with a spirit that is deeper, richer, older and wiser than we are. While many of us are drawn to and feel a healing connection amongst the trees, there is much more to the woods than meets the eye. Forests are complex eco-systems, and – as it turns out – even more deeply connected than we ever imagined. This workshop is about enhancing your resilience and remembering your connection – all supported and held and witnessed by not just the forest – but a mother tree. We’ll be walking, writing and doing a lot of sitting, but mostly we’ll be remembering who we are.

Pre-registration for Spectrum 2016 officially opens on February 1, 2016 (and the program will begin on May 2). So be sure to bookmark this page (or link) – so that you can check back to see if you win the giveaway here or sign up just as soon as it goes on sale.
