ARCHANGEL ~ A painting sanctuary for the heart and soul 🪽✨

With all that is happening on the earth ~ climate change disasters, patriarchy, and human supremacy, it feels important to step away from the chaos, immerse ourselves in love, and bring divinity through us, onto the earth. Our sacred art and prayers matter more than ever…In every tradition, angels are called upon in times of great need.

Women benefit from creative acts that inspire and illuminate us on a soul level. We rise together, our energy expands and sends ripples through the universe when we paint and call down the heavens together.

May the angels hold and bless us through whatever life challenges we are each facing. May we feel the light of the upper worlds embracing us, and filling us with protection and grace as the nights grow longer.

May this be a holy time, where you give yourself a few hours a week to immerse yourself in your own soul’s spiritual essence without distraction.

And as Winter Solstice season begins, you will have a heavenly Archangel medicine painting to work with, as you call forth rebirth and the return of the light for 2027.

My heart feels full after some beautiful healings this weekend. 💗🪶 It is an honor to welcome people back into their own hearts and bodies. If you feel off, untethered, tired, anxious, fearful, overwhelmed, it’s a sign to get some somatic energetic support and come home to yourself. I have been offering this work for the last 23 years and love what I do. Click the link in bio to get in touch with me to see how I can best support you.

Archangel is a guided journey to meet with an archangel, receive guidance, wisdom, and healing.

This series is for women who want to explore painting as an act of self expression while anchoring themselves into the presence of the divine this fall.

No previous art experience is required. You will learn how to shop for a simple home art studio to get you started with acrylic painting.

If you feel the pull to create but want to be led, so you can enjoy the creative process more, this series is for you.

If you want to paint with other women over a few months, we have space for about 7 women to join.

All meetings will be recorded so you can miss one and stay with the group process.

Our series will include meditation, visualization, movement, prayer, painting, and group process.

One of the things Ive learned from Intentional Creativity is there is no better way to form a relationship with something than to actually know it intimately - mind body and spirit and that often involves the painting of the being you want to form a relationship with. So we can do that from anywhere at any time which is what makes this process so incredible ❤

Cost is $550 pay as you go options available. Please contact [email protected] or reply “angel” for more information.

7Directions® is a sacred dance ceremony and somatic practice which combines freestyle dance, Earth-based ceremony, eclectic world/pop/devotional music and subtle energy healing work to facilitate release, pleasure and freedom.

One Thursday morning in January of 2002, founder Staci Boden was dancing in the living room when an urge to connect movement with Earth-based spirituality became a seed for exploration.

Rooted in a legacy of fierce mama love and inspired by extensive non-ordinary states of consciousness and sacred container training, 7Directions came to life with dance circles forming across the San Francisco Bay Area.

Today, over 22 years later, 7Directions has emerged as a dance ceremony and a profound teacher.

When we invoke seven essential places—east, south, west, north, below, above and within—we create a loving yet potent sacred circle for our highest good and deepest healing.

When we voice our intentions aloud, we initiate a conversation with the mystery.

Dancing together in ceremony expands these conversations into daily life.

Dancing together also facilitates community.

Join Staci Boden and Jane Sanguinetti for an ongoing women’s circle where the healing potency of free-form dance and eclectic music meets the nourishing power of a women’s group.

Held within an Earth-based ceremony, 7Directions creates a loving woman-centered space for people to connect and transform their loves. Women are invited to come share, laugh, dance, listen, grieve, learn, celebrate, make art and co-create community together.

After circling up for personal check-ins, we move into dance ceremony.
Accompanied by a blend of tribal, world, electronic and pop music, each person is free to explore intentions, follow energy, and discover their own sense of rhythm.

We complete with resting and journaling by candlelight before offering blessings.

Please contact [email protected] or [email protected] to learn more. We have a few spots remaining for our fall evening virtual group.

When a woman decides to call back her wild nature, she is choosing to own all of herself. She enters the cauldron of fire and places her fears, defenses, wounds, false stories, and ancestral imprints into the flames. She drops the need to fit in, be loved, look pretty, stay safe, be small.

She embraces her courage, intuition, authenticity, and primal instincts. She may feel exposed, stripped naked and raw. Her heart begins to crack open and FEEL.

Her roots are moving deeper, into the fertile earth. She crouches, shows her fangs, speaks truth, and lets herself hiss, growl, and scream for as long as it takes to free herself. She stalks the predator, dances in ecstasy, and braids mugwort into her hair.

Her ferocity is born of love for the parts of herself that were never protected or fought for. She feeds those tender parts of herself with smoke and ash and honey.

She calls forth desire, passion, strength and joy from within herself. She wants more. More expression, more liberation, more LIFE!

She has danced with the Goddesses of rage. She is the wild fiery woman. She is kind, and her kindness is true instead of performative. She gives her love and nurturing freely. She does not apologize for asking for what she needs and desires. She knows how to hold boundaries. Her feminine instincts are being repaired. She is beginning to remember…

Every woman can take up more space, breathe in creation, stoke the holy inner fires, expand and unfurl. The world is starving for truly embodied women.

These are images from our recent rage and empowerment weekend in the LUMINOUS PATH program for women. We embrace the light and dark within ourselves. We have deep compassion for one another as we honor and build each other up. We come together to howl, play, heal, transform and witness each other’s magic and wildness. We are rising from the ashes. TOGETHER. For more information about our program or to work with me 1:1 please click link in bio.

Students in the Luminous Path program learn how to move into relationship with the other than human world. Our beloved plant relatives have much to teach us! Beyond herbalism, we are learning to listen to plants, sing to them, merge with their consciousness, and offer healings with them. Students share what they are growing, exploring, and foraging with their community of earth based women here.
