closed before you,

the secret One

will show a

secret path

no other eyes

have seen.

~ Rumi

A 12-Week Course

based on The Artist’s Way

March 1 – May 24

“Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love.” ~ Rumi

Whether you are an entrepreneur, musician, lawyer, writer, stay-at-home parent or currently unemployed, creativity plays a vital role in your life’s work.

• Maybe you’ve longed to visit the museums of Paris.
• Maybe you’ve secretly written poetry for years and are feeling the urge to send it out to the world
• Maybe you’ve been dreaming of starting your own business.
• Maybe you’re a manager hoping to inspire your team
• Maybe you’ve found yourself in need of inspiration these days…

Within each of us, there resides an inner artist.  While some may have been dormant for years, it is not too difficult to brush aside the ashes and discover the still-burning ember that you can use to ignite newpassion and enthusiasm in your life.

Your artistry could be speaking or sculpting, making business decisions, acting or writing…  It doesn’t matter what form of expression you choose; what is imperative is that you express.

Creative Spark: Unleashing Your Inner Artist is a 12 week course that will walk you through The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity.  This book sat on my shelf for YEARS before I finally worked my way through it in 2006.  Since then, my whole world has changed, and I wish I would have picked it up sooner!  Now you can join me on a journey to discover your imaginative, inspired self. The work is still yours to do, but I’ll provide support and answer any questions along the way.

See my Courses page for full course description & registration information.

Here’s my name on the sign… yay!  (rockin’ Suite 5)

This is the entryway… how cute are these blossoms?

Can you tell I’m excited to be here?  =)

I use the I Ching frequently so I made a video to describe how it’s done.  Hope you’ll find it helpful…

“What these Shiva Lingam stones offer us is an invitation to join with them in Sacred Stone Acupuncture, where the stones, placed vertically on the Earth’s body, connect with the Crystalline Grid within in the planet (the core geometric pattern and flow of all of Life on Earth, and of the Earth Mother herself), and hold uninterruptedly the intent and alignment of peace for all forms of life.” ~ Peace Across the Planet

Me with Shiva Lingam stone at ChocolaTree in Sedona, AZ

“I am here.

Where are you?

What inspiration captures your intent?

Which direction stores your roots?

I am Shiva Lingam.

Who are you?

What thoughts weave your attention?

Which dreams grasp your lifetimes?

I am Crystalline Grid Keeper and Recorder.

What are you?

What manifestations spring from your hands and feet?

What spirit do you follow when you delight or fear?

I listen for your answers,

for your ways,

for your fears,

for your kindness.

Bring them all to my body and heart

for I judge none of them ever.

Wherever Whomever Whatever

you be,

you are,

I match all of you with deepest honorings.

I know well that courage brings you next to me now

because courage is what brings you to the Earth Mother

in this brave and haunted season–

this previously untouched, unimagined growth,

transformation,

love-beyond-words, ways, fears, kindness.

All stands freely seen in my open and opening eyes

for that is the courage that I bring,

that stands me here upon the Earth Mother

that roots me in this place

in this ritual

with you.

Meet me

with all that you are

with all that you do.

Let us hug all the gifted challenges to our hearts

here and now

so that all that you are,

all that you do,

bravely becomes

Peace.”

Recorded from Arizona Shiva Lingams Listening March 2009
