Santos Luminosos

Santos Luminosos (Luminous Saints) Course Begins on August 30th

What do you wish for? What do you want more of in your life? It's time to illuminate your dreams.  Illuminate them by setting an intention. We will start this class by writing the "whys" of your special intention. Then we will take that positive energy and create una vela sagrada (sacred candle) using the words and images that resonate with you. Next you will paint a picture of your trusted guide and saint to help radiate the intention you hold in your heart. Claudia and I invite you on this exciting online creativity course where the group will work with the Sacred energy of ritual! Rituals are deeply grounded in our own Latin American background which has roots not only on the Old World religions but also in Native American culture. I promise you will love this!

You will be led to create two projects, as well as working in your Diario Sagrado (Sacred Journal) via writing and art prompts. This is a fun course on illuminating intentions with Veladoras- you will decorate your own votive candle to use in your daily life for intention, meditation, or prayer and you will also create your very own Santo –you will create a Folk Art style Santo on wood!

Both Veladoras and Santos, are objects of veneration that lie at the very heart of Latino cultural tradition and we want to share that with YOU! 

 
Register here.

We aim to create community while we help one another unfurl our beautiful Alas/wings so that we may all soar as beautifully and as high as we know we can. We believe that ritual is one of the paths that can get us closer to the Divine.

This course will begin on August 30th and will be shared through our online Sancutario/Santuary on a wordpress blog. We will also meet within our online community: “Hermana Sagrada” where we hope everyone will stop by for some te con leche and comunidad ...sharing your thoughts, your art… and most of all your corazon (heart) in our loving community of Sisterhood.

Whimsical Wednesday

Finally we are all moved in! Yay for no more boxes and getting rid of the clutter. Although I would have much preferred to travel with my honey this summer Divine Order was in action. Besides I have a great new art studio that I have been organizing and infusing with love and light. This week I have spent a lot of time in there writing and planning in the mornings and late at night. 

Soon I will be able to share the workshops I have lined up for the Fall and beginning of 2014. Anyone want to come to Italy? Mmmuuhahahaha (wriggling my hands). I hope some of you will join me online and in person! Today, I wanted to share a video of the studio and an amazing revelation I had last week. 

I received a huge validation from my inner little girl. A couple of years ago my mother gave me a dress I wore when I was a child. She saved it for all these years. I kept it safe because I remember wearing it and feeling happy in it. My grandfather owned a dress factory and had the dress made for me. I wanted to honor the little girl that I had pushed away for so long so I proudly hung the dress up where my altar will live in the art studio. As I hung it up I became very emotional. I realized 2 important things. My strong symbol the butterfly was duplicated in different parts of the dress. The butterfly has such a significant meaning for me and is the icon of my Soulful Metamorphosis and Hermana Sagrada Sisterhood. 

I was surprised that it has been with me since I was a child. As I looked closer to the dress I noticed the red lines in it and immediately thought of the Red Thread of connection. In my Color of Woman Training, we learn to establish a sacred container for the community through coming together in circle. We honor this community by performing a Red Thread Ceremony in which we pass around a red thread that symbolically connects us to our intentions and each other. A powerful and moving practice it is. As I looked over the dress it became so clear to me that I am on the right path. I continue to recognize the synchronicity of seemingly disconnected people, places and things and my attitude and experiences are elevated.    

SAP ALERT! MUSHINESS AHEAD! (you have been warned).

I made a video to share with you my humble art studio and my experience. I tend to get emotional during times like this and I get choked up and cry. Really I am mostly happy, happy, joy,  joy but it is in the moments like this that my truest most vulnerable self appears. My goal has been to live as authentic as possible even when I am scared or not at my best so I share with love and gratitude.
