Art and Spirit Quests

Let's embark on a creative journey to unlock the answers that exist within you and meet the ancestors and spirit allies that are waiting to support you

Are you looking for a meaningful spiritual journey where you can work with your spirit allies, get to know the ancestors that are walking beside you, dabble with art and magic and find the answers that are already hidden inside you?

Welcome to the Art and Spirit Quest.

This is a personalized program designed to guide you on a spiritual journey through your art journal.

Don't worry, you don't need to have an art journal yet or even know what one is and it's perfectly okay if you happen to think you're the worst artist in the world. This is a beginner-friendly journey and I will guide you every step of the way but trust me, your creativity is a tool that will help you connect with the world of spirit and I'll show you how. If you can color in a coloring book and you can cut and paste pieces of paper and trace your hand, you have everything you need to go on a spiritual quest in your art journal.

This unique experience is designed to unlock your inner wisdom and deepen your connection with the spiritual world, all through the powerful medium of art.

What the Quest Looks Like

In our initial session, we'll dive deep into your intentions, focusing on the areas of your life you wish to transform. Together, we'll uncover the magical symbols, colors, and imagery that truly speak to your heart and intentions.

As we progress, each session starts by revisiting and refining your intentions, ensuring a journey that's truly aligned with your desires. Next, we'll engage in a creative exercise within your art journal to establish a sacred, protective space, and invoke spiritual presence.

You'll enjoy simple yet profound warm-up exercises that awaken your creativity and strengthen your connection with the spirit. By the way, I can't wait to meet the team that walks with you in spirit. It's one of my favorite things of being in sacred space with you - I get to know you in a deeper way by meeting the spirit allies and ancestors that walk alongside you.

Next, I'll guide you through an art ritual tailored to your journey. While you create, I will also craft a complementary piece of art made just for you, fostering a shared creative experience. The session is interactive, allowing for open dialogue and reflection throughout the creative process.

The magic of being in this sacred space often brings unexpected moments of healing and emotional growth. Rest assured that my years as a professional intuitive and MAP Practitioner and the deep emotionally sensitive and trauma-informed care I've given to many highly sensitive people means you're in very gentle, capable hands.

After the art-making, we'll engage in a reflective discussion to explore insights you've gained and how the process related to your intention. You'll also receive additional guidance and spiritual insights from me as your guide because let's face it, my spirit allies like to help too. In fact, if you don't already know her, my guardian angel Cassandra will definitely become someone you know. She has a wise and deeply compassionate presence and a strong, straight-forward demeanor that is capable of showing you exactly what you need to see in the very moment you are ready to see it.

We'll conclude each session with an expression of gratitude and I'll suggest how to integrate and honor the sacred artwork you created into your daily life. I might even suggest simple art activities that you can play with between sessions to further your journey and deepen your spiritual intentions. I want you to explore and build upon the layers of your spiritual and creative path as much as possible during our time together so you walk away carrying your inner wisdom and your spirit allies with you for the rest of your life.

If this speaks to you, I'd be honored to accompany you on this journey.

Why You Might Love Working with Me

Hi. I'm Dana.

If you're looking for a guide on your creative and spiritual journey, I think it's important to know who you're working with so here's a little about me.

I believe in balancing deep emotional work with laughter and a sense of play. A good, deep belly laugh is as valuable to me as a heartfelt cry. My own path has taught me the power of this balance.

I'm highly sensitive, and it's this sensitivity that's shaped my approach to healing and growth. For ten years, I struggled with the effects of childhood trauma, chronic anxiety, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, and POTS. Through these challenges, I found strength and healing in my magical art practices and aligning with the moon. This journey has given me a deep understanding of navigating high sensitivities while enjoying the intuitive and creative strengths that come with them.

My experience in the spiritual realm spans decades, beginning in my twenties. This journey has shown me all sorts of wonders and mysteries. My spirituality is grounded and practical. I'm all about the 'woo' without being lost in it. From chatting with my angel Cassandra to enjoying a sci-fi movie, from my farm upbringing in Alberta to my love for a good swear word, I don't fit the typical 'spiritual guide' mold – and that's exactly my strength.

I've also honed my skills as an artist, practicing art journaling and moon magic for over a decade. As a solitary witch, I follow my path in a way that feels authentic and meaningful to me, inspired by Druidry, goddess spirituality, astrology, and the natural world. My practice honors the sun, the stars, the trees, and the water, deeply resonating with the ancient practices I imagine my Celtic ancestors did.

Being a white woman in a country that was colonized, I'm committed to learning the impacts of colonialism, white supremacy, and patriarchy. My journey includes learning, unlearning, and relearning – a continuous effort to decolonize my practice and embrace my ancestral magic and spirituality.

If you're looking for a guide who's grounded, practical, and ever-evolving – someone who understands the intertwining of art, magic, and personal healing – then I believe we'll work well together. I'm a work in progress, and I find beauty in that process. I hope to share this journey with you, embracing both our strengths and vulnerabilities as we explore the magical and spiritual paths ahead.

Why You Might NOT Want to Work with Me

While the Art and Spirit Quests program offers a journey of self-discovery and spiritual exploration, it's important to recognize that this path might not be suitable for everyone at every stage of their life. If you're currently navigating through heavy emotional experiences or dealing with issues like depression or addiction, this program might not be the best fit for you right now.

My approach involves delving into liminal spaces, which can be deeply rewarding but also emotionally taxing. These explorations require a certain level of emotional stability and resilience, as they can be demanding on your autonomic nervous system. While I am here to guide you through the magical and intuitive aspects of this journey, I'm not a qualified therapist or counselor. Therefore, I'm not equipped to provide the specialized support needed for deep-seated psychological issues.

If you're in the midst of intense emotional challenges, I respectfully suggest seeking support from a licensed therapist or counselor. They can provide the appropriate care and guidance for such conditions. It’s crucial to prioritize your mental health and wellbeing, and sometimes that means choosing the right kind of help at the right time.

The Art and Spirit Quest is designed for those who are in a place where they can safely and comfortably explore their spirituality and creativity. It’s a journey meant to complement your personal growth when you’re ready for this kind of exploration. If you’re not sure whether this is the right time for you to embark on this journey, I’m here to discuss and help you make a decision that’s in your best interest.

It's also important to understand the nature of this journey. This program is ideal for those seeking personal growth, deeper self-connection, and spiritual exploration through creativity and art. However, if you find yourself in a place where you urgently need specific results or quick fixes, this is not be the journey for you at this time.

The essence of the Art and Spirit Quest lies in its intuitive and spiral nature. It's a journey where the path itself, with all its twists and turns, is where the magic happens. We dive into the realms of creativity and spirituality not with the goal of achieving immediate, tangible results, but to embrace the process and the journey itself. It's about discovering the treasures of wisdom, creativity, and healing that unfold along the way.

Working with magic and creativity is less about producing exact outcomes and more about the experiences, insights, and transformations that occur as you engage deeply with your inner self. This journey is for those who are ready to let go of strict expectations and allow the spiritual and creative process to guide them.

That said, the Art and Spirit Quest is not a quick solution for life’s challenges. It's a commitment to a process where healing and growth happen organically, in their own time and way. If you're looking for a path that prioritizes the richness of experience, the joy of creativity, and the depth of spiritual exploration, then this journey will be fulfilling for you.

However, if your current situation requires immediate solutions or specific results, it might be beneficial to seek out resources or services that are geared towards those needs. The Art and Spirit Quest is about embarking on a spiritual and creative adventure, one that nurtures your soul and enriches your life over time.
