Initiating this Newsletter
is an inspiring intent to create Sacred Space on our Web,
and hold room for spoken
and unspoken wisdom, to stir itself in a sanctuary of wellness.
It is me, Biljana and
I had the pleasure to meet and work with some of you…
and I am delighted for
many more Souls, upon to come….
I have been exploring
and working with the “whirling consciousness” for
a long time, now!!!
Stand tall and hand in
hand with Spirit, which Artwork I call Medicine…dancing
the dance of alchemy, celebrated through music….of poetry,
offered intuitive work…. and the good sunny news, there
is more to come.
Presently I am creating
an Whirling Wisdom Oracle, deck of cards, seen through my unique
visions, embodied in my paintings. I have decided to select a
painting that will hold each months Newsletter, which I hope,
will inspire insight, healing and prayer.
If you feel motivated
to bring forward your personal creations and comments, you could
simply reach me at waterspiritwoman@sympatico.ca , there is room for you here!
In the meantime, I would
like to invite all of you who are interested to work and share
with me in a group or personal setting.
Welcome and let us ponder
in the cauldron of good Wisdom!
Innocence, oil on canvas, 60"x48",

Innocence
At the Dance of connectedness and interrelated creations
of infinite possibilities, the flow of the Sacred Whirlpool stands
as an ancient wisdom.
From this pool of manifestation, arises a Vision….that
is older than “time”
and yet consists in the moment!
There is a Voice into this whirl, searching for
it’s Eyes….
like in a distant place, she climbs up the back
of a magnificent white Stallion, WITHIN…
she hears with, the name Unicorn.
It has been told to her… this creature is
wild in it’s freedom
…untouchable in the legend of it’s purity….
this blood she feels….running
…upon clear waters, a Child is born…speaking
the clarity
she welcomes, close by.
As she whirls up embracing these prayers,
- “forgive me” your light is so near.
Upon this flight she goes, life is washing away…some
depths of sorrow, sadness
and all that appears as struggle
…the Owl has been seen… nourishing the
Night
…Wings, transcending the Light…initiating,
slithering , transmuting
…life force revealing as a Serpents Tail…weaving.
She welcomes comfort with this sight,
as the illusionary Veil drops, manifesting her Name,
seeking…
In this offering to “the Innocence“,
of her unknowingness…she comes…SEEING.
Keeping the “Innocence”
window wide open, this space within each of us, speaks of our
quiet beauty.
Our inner “Innocence”
is reflected outwards with the enfoldment of Nature, spontaneously…
Carefully nourished and maintained,
grows the Sacred Garden of Life.
Today we need to intimately
look into our personal spaces and recognize how we are tending
these inner Waters. This always weaves itself emotionally and
manifest itself physically; into our day to day relationships;
surroundings; careers we have chosen…these ‘vines”
of living manifestations travel globally and in a far places,
which we may sometimes think we have little relations and knowledge
of.
Let us rise and be full minded
of all we do, all we create, feel…to heal!
Bring forward this Child Within
so it may grow and Love
our beautiful family, that
we call Mother Earth!
“ A boat
can represent your voyage toward the islands of higher consciousness.
That boat is made from your treasured innocence. We are all born
wild and innocent like the blue heron. To live in civilization,
at a very young age we become like sheep trying to fit in with
the crowd. To maintain your receptive innocence is to listen to
our inner voices. Know that the powers of the universe are within
you.”
- Lynn Andrews
-The Power Deck
I would like to
hold and extend this prayer, globally. There is much ignorance,
unhappiness, war, hunger, and hard times on our planet…
may the prayers of “Innocence” reach these far places
and may “the creative” illuminate their faces…many
souls have chosen “heavy” beliefs and carry their
depths, may the light shine
upon their beds….we
all have free will and choice,
may our patience
become greater and transmute all that does not serve, later!!!!!
…and most
of all I would like to honour our Children, and recognize how
vulnerable and sensitive they are; to their Angelic light, may
we surrender!

OF THE SOUL
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!
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!

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!!!
30min for $35.00
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!!!
$ 75.00 + hour
Upcoming Events
Dance by heArt - creative dance
I had the pleasure to "Spiral"
with you in the previous months this time I like to continue this
prayer of Dance by Heart, and invite you to celebrate some more
time in movement & fun!!!
Length:
two hours
Cost: $10.00
(children are free)
Coming events listed at: www.BiljanaArt.com
Dance in a non - competitive environment
and express your aliveness, ease and power through movement. Our
body is a record keeper of life's melodies and our instrument
for art.
Guided through the labyrinth of traditional and contemporary world
music, we will surrender to the rhythms and vibrational patterns
of breath, through the freedom of Dance.
As we weave our creations, we allow the healing powers of flow,
invite vibrancy and light upon our life. With this recognition
and prayer, we move into the world and offer this nurturing song
to our Earth.
I will meet with you at the heart of this Sacred Path, so we may
spin and celebrate
a greater relationship with our community.
Labyrinth - Ceremony
This Ceremony
will take place in High Park, the Heart of our City. What a beautiful
place to connect, heal and celebrate, the Labyrinth has been there
for some time know, and I like to take this initiative in a very
‘deep’ and profound way.
This
will be a full day commitment ( during week days, I have
noticed that there is barely one Soul around, can you believe
this!) as follows:
- early morning
Invocation, Song & Offering (bring forward your “Sacred
Intend”)
- followed by
introductory lecture, I will lead the path of this Sacred Wisdom.
The length of time is by Spirit, so be prepared to spend the whole
day in walking prayer.
- We will end
this journey with a Closing Prayer and
Pot Lock on
the Spot.
What
to bring: good weather! Sacred offerings (tobacco, sage,
cedar, or sweet grass); Walking Stick; hand drum, bells, your
voice, your silence…of whatever you are called to! I personally
have a fasting day before and an empty tummy on the day, so it
may be filled with the fruits of blessings in the END. As soon
as we gather at least seven of us, I will organize convenient
day and time!
Pay what you
can.....
The Sacred Spiral
of the Labyrinth has been my guide and the Life Force in all of
my Artworks. The Power lies in it’s Path!…and I believe
walking upon one as an United Force will channel tremendous transformations
and tranquility in our space and synchronize Globally!
