Discover the Magic of Altars

0

altar

I have always had an altar in my studio. It’s my sanctuary of calm in the midst of creative dreaming and productivity. It’s a gentle spot that I can turn to any time for a moment of respite and beauty. Time with my altar helps me find my focus and remember who I am. It tunes me in to magic.

I want to spend the next two weeks sharing The Art of the Altar with you..

Through the act of creation, experience for yourself the power and possibility of a meaningful personal altar. Join me on this journey and and build your relationship with your self, the four directions – North, South, West, East – and the elemental energies that they represent.

Create a bit of magic in your own home.

To explain more, I hosted a Facebook Live, sharing personal elements of my own altar an answering questions about everything from the best location for your altar to how long the class videos are.

Watch The Art of the Altar Q&A Video

Below you’ll find all the practical details, including the course outline, schedule, supplies and registration fee. Between that and the video, I hope you have everything you need to know whether The Art of the Altar is for you. If not, just hit reply. I’m right here to answer any questions or qualms you may have

Every altar becomes a self-portrait of the person that created it. If you join in, one of my deep wishes for you is that you will look at your altar at the end of the course and say, “Yes, that’s me. There I am. Whenever I get lost, I can come here and remember exactly who I am.”

I hope you’ll start this journey with me tomorrow.

with love,

Jamie

Pearl Diving Workshop

Discover Pearls of Wisdom for Your Creative Business

As a heart-centred creative entrepreneur, you want to build your business with authenticity, creativity and spirit. You also want clarity and success! How do you tap into your vision? How do you know what to do next? How do you know what you and your business most need?

That’s where Pearl-Diving comes in. Pearl-Diving is an Intuitive Journaling practice designed to get you in touch with the heart and soul of your work.

Love for Pearl Diving from Daria Jabenko

In this workshop, you will use collage and journalling to creatively:

  • Ground your wholehearted business in the truth of who you are by articulating your uniqueness.
  • Connect to the core of why you do (or want to do) this work.
  • Discover the essence of your target market – who are they and what are they yearning for?
  • Get clear on the value of your work – and what you bring to it.
  • Define personality characteristics of your brand.
  • Identify the core challenges that face you and your heart-centered business.
  • Open to your intuition and creativity for guidance.
  • Point your compass in the direction you and your work need to go.
  • Outline next steps and get ready to take them!

Love for Pearl Diving from Danette Relic

The Process of Pearl-Diving Includes:

  • Creating collage journal pages that will form a canvas for exploring and expressing what you discover on your dive.
  • Diving into your inner knowing through a process of intuitive journaling that will uncover pearls of guidance and wisdom.
  • Uncovering pearls of wisdom about who you are as a creative who is bringing (or longing to bring) her work into the world.
  • Discovering pearls of wisdom about the nature of your work and what it needs in order to develop powerfully and organically.
  • Exploring the alchemy of your collaged pages and journaled answers by bringing them together to gain new insight and deepened wisdom.

You will leave with:

  • Insight and clarity on what you and your business need in order to grow powerfully and purposefully.
  • Meaning-full, tangible reminders of all that you discovered, powerful touchstones that cut through the confusion, connect you to your vision and guide you on the way.
  • An adaptable and repeatable creative process you can use again and again to reconnect to the heart of your business and discover your next steps.
  • A heart-connection to the soul of your work and insight into exactly what your business wants to be.
  • Concrete next steps (I am a coach, after all!)

Is Pearl-Diving Right for You?

  • Are you creating and sharing (or dreaming of creating and sharing) your work with the world?
  • Are you committed to building this work by rooting it deeply in the truth of who you are and what you believe?
  • Are you willing to open up to your intuition and creativity – even if you never have before?
  • Are you ready to bring your business – and your self to life!

Pearl-Diving is designed for heart-centered entrepreneurial spirits who are aching to make authentic and powerful progress in their business or their work. The creative practice of Pearl-Diving can be applied to any work that you want to share with the world, whether that’s a business, a specific project (a book, a class, a blog) or a vocation. You can be at the beginning stages of establishing your venture or you can be ready to take it to the next level with deeper understanding and intuitive guidance.

No art experience required. This is a creative process that anyone can do. You don’t have to have any special artistic skills in your toolkit.

Full Corn Moon Dreamboard Workshop Jamie Ridler Studios

Join me in this Full Moon practice and connect to your self, the Universe and your dreams: big and small, tender and brave, mundane and wild.

Years ago, sitting in my mom’s living room, hanging out with her and my sisters, cutting and gluing, dreaming, chatting, I had no idea that a life-changing practice had entered into my life. Who would imagine that a simple, creative activity could open up the door to my dreams? Over the years, I have developed a practice of creating dreamboards that serve both as magical manifestation magnets and also as powerful reflecting pools. Tying their creation into the cycles of the moon adds a deeper dimension of discovery and builds our connection to the energy cycles around us.

The Full Corn Moon is here today and asks: What dreams do you wish to bring to fruition?

Get Prolific with Your Creative Projects

2015-06-09 Hi from the Studio

One of the questions I’m asked most often is how do I manage to be so productive! I’m creating podcasts, videos, posts and courses all the time – and loving it!

I live and breathe creative projects!

I believe that bringing an idea to life is true magic – where once there was nothing, now there is something! And one of the glorious benefits of this kind of creative magic is that when you create a project, it also creates you!

Join me for the Creative Practice Seminar and I’ll share the magic. It’s not too late to join me!

Our creativity wants to take form. Our ideas, our energy, our impulses inevitably ask to be channeled into a creation of some kind. Being willing to show up to the work, wherever you are, with whatever you have, is the beginning of great magic and adventure.

Creative projects bring their own set of challenges – coming up with ideas, choosing which one(s) to pursue, facing fear and resistance and learning new skills, to name but a few – but they are also a gateway to discovering our artistic voice and becoming our creative selves.

Join me for the first of our Studio Seminar Series: Creative Projects

  • Learn about Creative Projects. Learn how your heart’s desire can be turned into a creative project, giving you a road map for bringing it to life.
  • Discover the Journey of a Project: From inspiration to celebration, we’ll explore the arc of a project’s journey, a journey you will venture many times in your creative life!
  • How to Choose: We creatives have so many ideas – and we love them all! I’ll share a decision-matrix that will get you moving from contemplation to creation!
  • Facing Challenges: You’ll learn where challenges like fear and resistance are likely to show up and some tried-and-true strategies for getting past them.
  • Participate in Live Discussion: This is your opportunity to ask an experienced coach your questions about creative projects. Plus you’ll hear from other creative hearts about their experience with projects – the ups, the downs, the questions and the successes.
  • Receive Inspiration & Encouragement: Even if you have experience with creative projects, dipping your toes into this time with the Jamie Ridler Studios community is an opportunity to refresh your perspective and renew your commitment with encouragement.
  • Access All Summer Long: You’ll have access to the recording for the entire summer so that you can refer to it again and again as you bring your creative practice – and your creative self – to life!Studio Seminars Creative Projects Badge

Start Your Creative Practice Today!

2015-06-09 Hi from the Studio

People often ask me where I get so much creative energy and how I manage to be so productive. Much of the answer lies in the development of a creative practice

Start or Deepen Your Creative Practice Starting Today!

It’s not to late too join me.

Developing a creative practice is the way we tend the soil for all of our dreams and desires. It is how we invite in inspiration and how we assure the muse that we are ready for her arrival. Practice is what brings us home to ourselves again and again when we lose our way. It is the earth beneath our feet as we dance our way through our wild creative adventures.

Practice is with us throughout our creative lives, at the beginning, at the end and every step in between.

When in doubt, practice is the perfect place to start.

Join me for the first of our Studio Seminar Series: Creative Practice

  • Discover Options: Discover a wide range of possibilities for your creative practice so you can begin to determine what would serve you best in your creative life without getting overwhelmed!
  • Learn “Stick to It” Strategies: The nature of practice is to be ongoing, which brings along ongoing challenges like resistance, boredom, life’s natural disruptions. Learn strategies to support you in coming back to your practice again and again.
  • Participate in Live Discussion: This is your opportunity to ask an experienced coach your questions about creative practice. Plus you’ll hear from other creative hearts about their experience with practice – the ups, the downs, the questions and the successes.
