There is a creative force inside you

Let’s work together to help you share it with the world.

You know that feeling when you have a sense of so much creativity within you, yet when you try to commit to canvas or the page, you falter? Maybe you feel unsure of what to focus on and bring out into the world?

Maybe you are a professional artist or writer and you have just got stuck. You want to dig deep within to unblock the block… but you can’t do it on your own?

Perhaps you are in the flow of creativity but are curious to get a sense of what truly aligns with your soul purpose and soul expression?

Maybe you are in midlife and know that now is the time to embrace your creativity. You are no longer prepared to keep putting it on the back burner while you do the other career stuff that you think must come first. Do you want to be the creative person you have always known you are?

I get it. And I can help you explore your own creativity. I can help you get clear on your soul vision of your artistic expression (in whatever form it takes). And if you need some accountability and a taskmaster to help keep you on track to meet that deadline, I can help you with that too.

Let’s make the magic happen

Creativity is so important to me, and it can take many forms: writing, painting, sculpture, gardening, creating my offerings here and at Archeus, cooking for friends….


…and I know what it feels like to get stuck, or to experience the desire to explore the possibility of your creativity, but knowing deep down that it would help to have someone to take you on that journey.

I understand that urge to step into your create power, at whatever time of life it comes. And that’s why I created this soul-directed offering. With its unique blend of coaching, spirituality, renaissance wisdom, nature connection, ceremony and self talk, I think it’s pretty special and will be medicine for your soul, as well as fuel for your creative fire.

Let me explain how it works.

STEP ONE

We take a Soul Approach to Creativity

First up, we are going to build up a picture of your soul and what makes it sing, so that your creativity can draw on the wellspring that is the very essence of you.

To do this, I use techniques used by one of the great minds of the Italian Renaissance Marsilio Ficino, to find your touchpoints with nature, cosmos and spirit. Then we use these touchpoints to explore the things that nourish your soul, and the things it wishes to express. With its blend of astrology, elements, humours and allies, this can be truly revelatory. It will help give you ideas and confidence to map the directions you wish to take in your creative practice.

We do this by doing my Unlocking Potential session, which you can find out more about here.

THEN

We Examine the Inner Critic

We can seriously get in the way of our own creativity. All that self-talk, the inner critic telling us we are not good enough, too out there, too derivative, too old, too young, not enough this, not enough that.

Enough. Stop. You are going to change that. And a 12th Century polymath is going to help you do it.

Hildegard of Bingen was a 12th Century abbess, mystic, artist, composer, writer, healer and total icon for creative and spiritual expression. I love working with her wisdom and so we are going to use her idea of ‘Vices and Virtues’ to help you replace the inner critic with the inner motivator or muse. You’ll identify the things (the vices) the inner critic tells you, and create new statements (the virtues) to replace them, so you can step into your creativity without self-judgement…. and learn to love yourself more.

WHEN WE’RE READY

We make a Plan and get Accountable

Once you’ve had some time to digest the insights and allies, the creative and cosmic forces within and around you (and I’ll be giving you some things to do to help you work through this process), I’m going to support you in making a plan for your creative endeavours.

Don’t let procrastination get in the way of your own brilliance.

We’re going to make a timeline and plot some accountability sessions together to help you keep on track. And in creating this plan, we’re going to draw on rhythms and seasons in nature, astrological transits, and the power of the medicine wheel to help get clarity on the path for your creative journey.

RESOURCES

Soul-aligned ways to support your creative practice

I like to work in a multi-dimensional way and can create a range of resources that you may find helpful to support you on your creative journey. When we work One-on-One these are created for you as part of your unique package. If you are taking the Group Coaching route then you will be able to purchase these from me:

  • Plant essences and elixirs (a beautiful form of vibrational medicine for the soul).

  • Tinctures and remedies

  • Guided meditations and visualisations

  • Aromatics for the soul (so Ficino!)

  • Ceremony

Here’s How We’ll Do It

Two Options

You will have the choice of having a one-on-one renaissance reading and guidance session package (with lots of added extras), or entering the group coaching programme.

One on One Package

We work together online on Zoom and via email. We start off with a questionnaire and then meet online for the inspirational 90 minute Unlocking Potential Renaissance Reading. This lays the foundation for the coming weeks.

We then have six x 1hr zoom sessions together. Their format can be flexible. There are elements that we will work through together in a structured way (see the group coaching outline below), but the overall form and content of our time together will be driven by your unique needs and may include: coaching, shamanic journeying, ceremony, guided visualisation, spiritual accompaniment.

Our time together will also reveal different types of soul medicine that may help you grow your creative mojo. I will create a bespoke pack of offerings for you (valued at over $200) including: plant essence or elixir, aromatic soul medicine, guided meditation, herbal remedy. These will be sent to you by courier (NZ) or New Zealand Post (International).

Group Coaching Programme (coming in 2024)

The Group Coaching Programme is limited to six people and is comprised of an individual 90 minute Renaissance Reading followed by six x 1hr group sessions (one a fortnight). When you book your place you will complete a questionnaire which will enable me to prepare your Unlocking Potential Renaissance Reading for you. We will arrange a time for your one-on-one 90 minute reading. This will be followed by the six group coaching sessions (max. 6 people) taking place once a fortnight at 11am NZ Time.

You can expect the Group Coaching Programme to look like this:
