This online journey an invitation for you to step away from the pace of so called modern life and root into something slower and juicier. This time is for you to create slow, spacious, intentional time for your creativity and yourself to connect with your creations, artworks, projects and dreams.

As it is still cold outside and the light has not yet fully returned, the natural world slows down and we slow with it. This season is a time to rest and root deeper to grow wilder in Spring. To move through darkness we set ourselves ready to look at what is blocking us, to be able to release our light and full creative potential. What does your soil need for new life to grow?
Theme: Slowing Down and Flow
As we fold over the longest day, it is also marked the start of our slow journey towards dark. We bring in the harvest and celebrate all the things we’ve birthed and grown, in all areas of our lives. And equally important, we let go of and grieve the things that didn’t come to completion. It’s a season of gathering and sharing the good we’ve created before we head into the slower, darker time of the year.
What about we let ourselves be guided by the beauty of nature as it comes into its fullness?
Theme: Wholeness and Self Expression
As the world outside shifts into deep green and sunlight brings everything into focus, we explore what our seedlings need in order to bloom. This is a time to experiment and explore, by embracing a sense of curiosity.
What is longing to become visible? What wants to be expressed?
Theme: Blooming and Receiving
Mellow colors, gentle sunlight, lengthening shadows. Autumn allows us to explore and tune in to what matters to us. As we transition into Winter, we turn our attention inward and prepare for more reflective and cooler months ahead. It’s a good time to find our own balance, to finish up old paintings and projects, plant your own seeds for changes we want to manifest in our lives.
Theme: Letting go and Trusting the Process
