Introducing: 'Flights of Imagination'
What comes when you think about the concept of ‘Imagination’? When you consider this topic, do you get excited or curious?? I’m offering a 4week guided experimental space to explore the realms of Imagination. In this experiment, I will be offering support to cultivate greater connection to your unique source for inspiration and belonging.
Imagination has been regarded, engaged and studied in paths related to creativity, psychology, spirituality and religion all over the planet, throughout time. It’s a deeply personal and at the same time universal relationship with all things ‘unseen’. The realm of Imagination is perhaps were we integrate the past, and design the future, though a deep commitment to presence practices.

As an artist, spiritual seeker and healer (person on a healing path); it’s become clear to me that our imagination is a profound aspect of the human experience that can contribute greatly to both personal healing and creative problem solving. Strengthening our relationship to and powers of imagination might also allow for an endless connection to our own renewable source of inspiration, spiritual wisdom, and creative insight. (Just to name a few.)
Introducing a new body of work, I’m delighted to share with you:
'Flights of Imagination’
FOI (flights of imagination) is a four week (once per week) virtual meet up where I will guide you in deepening your relationship with your Imagination. Think of how you exercise your body to cause strength and stability… how you meditate to learn to train your mind…. It’s with that sentiment of working with what we’ve got as a huemxn that I come to that work. As a group of individuals, we will strengthen our connection with our Imaginations, in order to become more fluent and fluid with this piece of our experience in a body on earth, making time to focus on this aspect of being alive. We will cultivate greater strength, depth and stability with your unique powers of Imagination.
To do this, I will talk you through eyes closed adventures, where you will employ your sense memories. I will share with you various techniques to ‘ground’ yourself, through your powers of imagination. Once grounded and centered, you will be invited to adventure into the wild lands of the unknown, with me as your guide. You will be guided to discover, synthesize and uncover the wisdom already alive within your skin. I think this work is the perfect tool for folx who are in talk therapy or have had psychedelic experiences, as this is a place to integrate our experiences and realize the learnings while grounding it all into our physical bodies. I know, it sounds like a lot, but with proper guidance and time, I know that we can bring back from the infinite, useful and practical magic to infuse our daily lives…. and help shape the world to come.
FOI is a 90 min foray into all things related to your Imagination. Each one of the sessions will be done in either seated meditation or laying down. There will be long stretches of guided visualizations where the emphasis will be on strengthening our powers of imagination while tapping deeply into our innate intelligence and unique points of view. There will also be opportunities for sharing within the group, where we will be practice belonging.
As a part of each Flight of Imagination, there will be some time dedicated to creativity. Each participant will be prompted to write or create visual evidence of their inner travels as a means of integration to support their daily lives, and larger life goals.
Dates for this first series are: September 21, 28, Oct 5, 12. 7-8:30 pst // workshop held virtually on zoom :: here is LINK to sign up
Starting from childhood with the long term relationship of my imaginary friend, I have personally been forming a bond and aptitude in relationship to my own Imagination. Through my creative practices as a working artist, I have employed my Imagination in so many ways and times across many mediums and many years. As a mother I have relied on my Imagination to garner meaning and joy with my kids. As a teacher of yoga asana and art practices, I have delighted in helping guide others to find their own connection, and unlocking deeper more nourishing sources of inspiration and solutions. And as a psychonaut, I have journeyed deeply into the infinite, learning lessons and gleaning wisdom that has informed my daily life for more than 25 years.
It’s with a tremendous enthusiasm and delight, that I offer you a chance to join me in this first official experience of ‘Flights of Imagination’. Saying yes to this experience will for sure be a creative enhancement project with healing side affects and hopefully jam packed with many ideas and creative solutions that can not only serve our lives, but help contribute to the greater good.
