Welcome! one more time, by the Whirling Wisdom side....

I would like to Thank all the Souls who came to the Art-open house and supported this sacred work. Without friends & family there would be no art opening. I was especially delighted by our sounding circle towards the end, and I thank you for the gift.

At the moment we are working on updating the website, for this I am so greateful to you Kristin Groulx of Moonspinner Designs; the site looks magical in my eyes. You will know find Links of all the previous Newsletters, a Gallery of recent artworks and more to come.

In these early and rainy hours of December, the quietness in the air carries the beautiful and silent initiation of our upcoming Holidays

Riding the bicycle to school, Justin and I and "rain", run as a river, today!

I hear my Justin say, "mom it's December 1, can I make some birthday invitation cards"?

Yes, there are 20 more days to Winter Solstice and our "sun" may rise again.

So, let us unwrap the goodness that we hold in our hug, and all giveaway....

Christmas time for everyone has a different meaning, including a Happy Chanukkah!

I wish all the Blessings of Light sparkle by our side,

and all the sweetness, enjoy the opening of the heart..

I call upon "you", my relatives of all the directions, come

and see them beautiful gather as one.

From the Whirling Wisdom oracle today, "Fathers Love" came out and want's to say:

Artwork that inspires vision

                             communicates prayer

                              and sends healing!


Fathers Love, oil on canvas,
60"x48", 2006,
available

Fathers Love

What is the sadness I am feeling, O God! On this day you are reborn.

Of a new born life celebration, people to gather to celebrate birth.

Mother and child hug as one, on a greeting card as a Star.

"I want to say hello today", as I open the card, it said "Happy Holiday".

I like to share my sorrow with you and the sky, for who are you that I feel alone.

Saying my heart today, I saw the "mother tears", reflection of mine, on this canvas for my tool to pray.

And in this sadness I saw your face, resting upon your shoulders. For me to see, my eyes went smiling, as I appear gladly.

Walking my path embracing your hug. To open up and blossom in harmony.

This flow I am, it feels right, walking my path, guided by you. The sadness is food of my soul, in tears to roll off into the sea as salt.

For people to share, of this water to drink. For to know, as a tale to be, the "sea of life" are we.

And in a song we thank you! for to sing feels good and awakening to me.

With this brush and a pen I hold, I have trust in you.

I thank you knowing that I am in you. Knowing that you are born

of the innocence, of the sadness...of all the faces,you are the father of a pure new born baby.

This painting came on Easter Celebration and it is what I felt that day.

Now it is coming to weave into December, maybe it is here to remember.

Fathers Love is more than the Father and more than the Mother,

it is between eachother, written upon our centering Fire

when the father (sun) gets distant by the Winter hour

our mother Earth dreams the silent prayers of Spring,

spinning these words upon the Wind

and calls upon you, my daughter

carrying the Water

as white snowflakes LOVE dove birds, flying

and mating in a sacred union.

............to be continuing

ARTIST OF THE SOUL ~ painting session
Session cost ~ $ 55.00 per hour

 

In the evening between sleep and awakening,
I met one traveling. He was the light of
consciousness. His body was soul, his pure
wisdom apparent in his beautiful face.

 
Rumi


This session involves expressive movement and painting to engage and liberate the body's wisdom. We explore the colours of deep breath meditation, imaging, sounding, and visualization. Intuitively we reach inner depths of knowing and find the seeds of productivity that are kept within us.

As we immerse and move through the rhythms of this journey in a safe and patient way, we recognize our inner vibrational patterns. We then have the opportunity to weave from our depths a "web" of greater understanding and vision. All is reflected on the unique canvass, we flow!

Art Bliss ~ art class

One hour of instructional painting and drawing in any media or mix media you choose for your masterpiece...abstract, figurative, portraiture, landscape

you named and created!!

cost: $ 25 per hour, including set up

Soul Portrait

Hi you!

Have you ever wished to have your beautiful portrait get done...yes!


...then this is for you, and do not expect to be some boring pretty face, hung on a wall to be admired. Instead I will closely look into woven fibers of Life Force, manifesting itself beyond the ordinary eyes; in space as vision and insight channeled through your conscious and unconscious wisdom to appear as it comes; take this, for it is your unfolding beauty.

The Soul Portrait that I weave is unique as yourself.

All this initiated in your space, could be rewarding in all the ways that you could think of. As a meditation tool; as fun and therapeutic; of the dream time, visionary; storytelling and sometimes scary!

OK fung shui, may be on your way!

Receive this uniqueness the way it may come, for it is your gift of Spirit and your calling of the Ages!

It would be great if you are present for the start up gestures and if not I will need your name, date and place of birth and if you wish your secret, photo!!

The cost is on a sliding scale that varies with the size of the canvas ( and how complicated you are, ha, ha!)

minimum size 20x20 for $345.00...Cheers!


Sacred Face ~ Mask Making

HO!…to the Sisterhood of the Shields for the wisdom, in Spirit; to Lynn Andrews and her give away…HO! to the many teachers that have brought light upon my path and the many “hands” received from above…I remember the creation of my own “Mask of Power” this beautiful Vision of all times…just to find it’s face rising from the ashes…as the “firebird” keeper of the inner flame!

I have carefully dreamed this journey for us, in honor for the Sacred path of Mask Making. I would like to offer you guidance, along the sacred line of the Medicine Wheel. Upon each direction there is a gift for you, creating along the way …you will hold Four Masks of many, that will represent the depths of your most inner places, awaken through meditation, symbolism and the wisdom that allies in all the sides that we turn for a direction…you will understand the energy patterns that hold these “faces” and how we find these in our day to day movement. In understanding these energies you will learn how to choreograph and transform; balance our feminine and masculine; and use these gifts for our healing and community.

Towards the end of the journey we will unite the Four Masks into One Mask, as a centering place within, as Mask of Power and our most Sacred Face.

We will honor and initiate the awakening of the Masks in a ceremony, we will give away and empower your Song!

This work is very Sacred. It is often personal and sometimes difficult…I would like to make room for each of you and offer my time on a “one to one” basis, in presence. The workshop lasts 7 sessions, the hour could vary form 3 to 5 hours…and to your call I will set the day!

$ 400.00 ~ the materials required for the mask building are inclusive….except your sacred objects that you will decorate your personal mask with…..HO!

For the individuals who are interested in creating a single Mask in 2 sessions ~ $ 125.00

Intuitive work

Turkish Coffee Grain Reading

This ancient foretelling has Egyptian roots; the tradition has been kept by the Arabians, Persians, Jews and always celebrated with the Turks.

It was introduced to me when I was 4 years old, and has been revealing its secrets
up to this day.

Connecting with this sacred grain and welcoming its rich aroma, followed by respectful and full minded exchange we receive a "gift" from the magnificent "map" that is imprinted upon the walls of the round cup.

The grains are as an art sand painting that has been stirred by our inner Winds Storytelling in its Nature.


Enjoy!!!

Whirling Wisdom Oracle - reading

I have realized how unique and magical we are all, individuals united. Born of our hour and of our day; time; upon a star constellation above; in reflection below, energetically ... by phases of the Moon ... stirring glazes.

Forever, traditionally Native we relate to our animals, allies walking around timeless "Medicine Wheel" ... yes, into the plants and what the Celts will say the Wisdom of the Trees ... it Whirls with the Chinese's yearly calendar ... western relations ... and how about colors and crystals and vibration patterns ... all this and some numerology.

As soon as we look at that door there is more!

Through variety colors of "tools" combined with my personal Whirling Wisdom Oracle and your "key" as keeper, I would like to go deeper!!!

You may bring all that you are, for we may "seek" this Whirling Oracle, spoken!


Gypsy Dream!!!
