I couldn’t be more excited to introduce you all to something I’ve been working on for several months now. I’m calling it “Soulidarity” and it’s a self-discovery and art journaling workshop that I will be leading on July 13.

This all came about last year when I was feeling the need to connect with other women. I wrote about it here, but here’s a little snippet of what I said:

I suddenly felt like I really wanted to connect with the women in my community. I wanted a tribe. I wanted power in numbers. A sacred circle. The power of the feminine. I wanted to feel connected with like-minded souls.

So I organized a group of women and we’ve been meeting once a month for about 6 months now. Each time, I come up with a topic and lead a discussion around it. It’s been a really powerful support system for all involved. Eventually I’ve added art journaling to the agenda and we have now been doing that together as a group. The response from the women has been amazing. Here are some samples of some of the work we’ve created together.

An art journal (or visual journal) is probably different for everyone but I will tell you how I define it. It’s a book containing painting, collage, drawing, photographs, stamping and writing from the heart. By combining your journal writing with visual elements you create a really powerful form of expression. Something raw and personal. Joy, pain, hurt, happiness, and gratitude can all be expressed in an art journal.

I have spent many years attending workshops and reading books on every topic ranging from art to motherhood to creative entrepreneurship to finding your passion and everything in between. I’ve learned so many things about myself but most importantly, I’ve gotten deeply in touch with my inner voice. For me, getting in touch with my inner voice has been the single most important factor in pursuing my dreams and living the kind of life I was meant for. I want so much to help others get to that same place.

Through this workshop I hope to do just that. If you feel like you want to be inspired or want to connect with people or just want to tap into your creativity, then this workshop is for you. If you’re feeling curious and not sure why, but something is whispering “yes” in your heart, then this workshop is DEFINITELY for you. We’ll take the journey together. I would love for you to join us! Here’s the link for more details and to register!

I am so on fire about “Soulidarity” and I hope you will be too. I named it Soulidarity, because it’s for your soul but the solidarity of doing it with other like-minded souls is where the magic happens.
