Witchy Wednesday Art Circle

You are a magical force.

You believe in unlimited possibilities, even when things don’t go your way because your heart knows the truth—you create the most magic in your life when you take the time to do your inner work, face your shadows, and transform the way you see yourself.

With paintbrush in hand and your favorite oracle deck by your side, you understand that real change happens when you align with the rhythms of the moon and nature, tapping into ancient cycles that guide your spirit and influence your energy.

But you are playful at heart. You know the serious work of growing, evolving and becoming the best version of yourself can look like a colorful mess of glitter, glue and paint.

Welcome to the WITCHY WEDNESDAY WEEKLY ART CIRCLE

A weekly online gathering where we meet to align with the cycles in nature, practice folk magic in our art journals to heal and manifest and work with the MAP Method to clear subconscious blocks standing between you and your dreams.

We begin each gathering by aligning with the seasons and the moon.

We then enjoy a creative magic exercise that aligns with the lunar or solar energy we’re working with that week. These exercises are meant to help you tend to your soul, practice magic or process emotions you haven’t had time to tend to earlier in the week.

We finish the evening off with a Moon Mapping session. This is where we work with the MAP Method (MAP stands for Make Anything Possible) to neutralize burdensome memories of the past and overcome limiting beliefs that are holding you back from reaching your true potential. (You can learn more about the MAP Method here)

Don’t worry. You don’t need an art journal or art experience to enjoy these online gatherings. The exercises are simple and more about the process than the end result. Pencil crayons or markers on whatever paper you can find are perfectly fine.

You will walk away from these gatherings feeling lighter, clearer and ready to take confident steps forward in your life in the week ahead. You will also have a greater understanding of what your own personal magic looks and feels like.

Each time we gather we focus on a different theme.

Our next theme is Releasing and Clearing with the Waning Moon

Hi. I’m Dana

I lived through difficult childhood experiences that weighed me down. My spirit couldn’t soar because I was so disconnected from who I really was and what I really wanted.

That’s when the moon called to me.

I started listening to my instincts. I wanted to paint so I did that. I was tired of being so damn serious so I stopped caring what my art looked like and let myself play. I wanted to align myself with lunar cycles so I learned how to do that.

I kept talking to my spirit allies and ancestors and doing moon rituals in my art journal and setting new goals and intentions. I was healing my broken heart, freeing my spirit and creating manifestation art without realizing it! And I was having fun. Every new and full moon I spent time digging deeper into my wild creative nature. I used the moon as my mirror. I let it teach me about myself.

I fell deeper into the natural rhythms that support me. My inner witch came alive. I started following the Wheel of the Year and built my spiritual and creative practices around the themes and magic of the seasons. I started to feel vibrant and alive and aligned with the life force surrounding me.

I came back to myself.

Now, I’m an art witch, professional intuitive and certified MAP practitioner with over 24 years experience and clients all over the world. I’ve led in person and online moon circles for over five years. I use magic to support my emotional healing AND to help me realize my creative dreams. I have a passion for inner child healing and reparenting ourselves and I’m trauma informed (because I had to be to tend to my own early childhood trauma and how it affected my autonomic nervous system and contributed to my Mast Cell Activation Syndrome).

What I’ve come to learn is working with the sun and moon in your art journal and surrendering your healing to your subconscious mind are fun, gentle ways to process your emotions, create the changes in your life you deserve and live a life that allows your spirit to shine in this world.

I wouldn’t be living the creative, intuitive life I live now had I not played with my paints and paper under the magic of the moon or learned how to ask my subconscious mind to do my deep inner work for me.

That’s why I’m inviting you to join me at my Witchy Wednesday Art Circle for these creative spiritual adventures – because you too can have fun while you heal your heart, free your spirit and manifest the changes you want to see in your life.

If I could wave a magic wand and make Dana’s class be exactly as I want it to be, I would want us to all be in person in the woods wrapped in Dana’s magic and the magic of Mother Earth, the moon, the stars and everything in between. I enjoyed the smaller class size so everyone who wanted to participate could participate within the time frame and I enjoyed the structure, spirit-based activities and teaching style.

————————–

What I most enjoyed about the class was learning more about planets, houses, energy of those planets and houses and how they can possibly be affecting me and also suggestions to use that energy in a way that is helpful/useful. There was nothing I didn’t enjoy! Although my brain struggled to keep up with all the information, I still enjoyed it.

I LOVE all the mini art classes that include MAP at the end.

J. W.

During these creative gatherings we may do one or all of the following:

align with the lunar rhythms of that day
invoke the support of your spirit allies and/or ancestors
create a page in your art journal to explore cosmic themes and how they are affecting you and your business in the week ahead
cast a spell in your art journal
experience a Moon Mapping session to clear memories and beliefs that are preventing you from growing, healing or manifesting the changes you want to experience in your business

On a scale of 0-10, I think your class was a 9. I’ll definitely do another class – it was very fun and informative! I really don’t know anything about astrology so it’s all cool.

What if I miss the live class?

This is a live gathering that takes place online in my Zoom meeting room. The gathering will also be recorded so if you can’t make it live, I will send you access to a recording later in the week. Refunds will NOT be available.

What do I need?

The basics for these gatherings would be an art journal or paper, a pen and some pencil crayons or markers but you can always use whatever you feel inspired to (I support spontaneous creativity here). I lead the art journal prompt but I leave the materials you use up to you. If you like mixing it up, make sure you have your art supplies handy, such as your acrylic paints, brushes, glue, scissors and scrapbook paper or magazine, book or printed images that you might want to include. Personally, I like using ink and watercolor pencils, watercolors, markers and paint markers.

For your magic supplies, you can keep this basic as well and have a candle handy as well as whatever you use to clear and invoke energy. You might also want to bring magical items that resonate with the theme we are working on or set up an altar to enhance the magical work you will be doing. I’m a solitary witch of no particular affinity who believes the only rules worth following are the ones you believe in so do what works best for you. If you are new to practicing magic, I would, however, encourage you to stretch yourself and be okay with doing things that feel awkward at first. Just like working with your creativity, feeling comfortable and confident with your magic takes time and practice. Be okay with learning and growing and trying new things or using new magical tools that you are drawn to try even if it feels strange at first. It’s how you will find what truly resonates with you.

What if I don’t have an art journal?

You do not need an art journal nor do you need to paint regularly or consider yourself an artist to join me. You can use pencil crayons or markers or whatever you have handy. I even blend a lot of collage into what I create. There are no rules. The process is more important than the finished product. There is no art experience necessary to enjoy this gathering and you don’t have to share what you create if you don’t want to. It’s all very relaxed and loose.

What is the MAP Method?

Near the end of the class, I will lead us through a MAP session. I work with the MAP Method to teach your subconscious mind how to clear and neutralize emotional triggers and negative beliefs for you.

The MAP Method is gentle and relaxing (just like art). It doesn’t require you to remember or relive traumatic memories. You simply close your eyes and observe your experience!

It’s a safe and gentle way to get immediate results without having to do all the work on your own.

If you want to learn more about the MAP Method, you can read more about it here.

HERE’S WHAT OTHERS HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE MAP METHOD

I’m grateful for this work and this process. My whole nervous system is relaxed.

Wow, wow, wow!!! That was amazing! I am so grateful for feeling less stressed and more positive about my future!

I’m grateful for this session. Thank you so much. I feel better.

Thank you so much for lowering the blocks/fears to a zero.

Thank you for that shift. It felt amazing!

I am grateful for learning more about my relationship with money and about myself and about what I want. I am grateful for this gift of this class.

Just had so many breakthroughs. Thank you SOOO much for this.

I have chronic neck issues due to a car accident & as I was going through the exercises I felt all that pain release. My neck is always really stiff the first few hours of the day. The stiffness disappeared about halfway through. I wanted to express my sincere gratitude.

The session where I work with the MAP Method is optional. I will give you the opportunity to leave if you’re not interested in this part of the class but I strongly encourage you to join us. Working with your subconscious mind while you look at the art you created is pretty powerful.

This is for you if:

you can join us online on the date and time specified or you want access to the recording
you’re a kind person who is empathic or has a highly sensitive nature
you value creativity and intuition especially in spirituality and don’t feel the need to impose your rules on other people
you value overcoming limiting beliefs and neutralizing emotional memories from the past
you are a creative person who isn’t afraid of letting their inner five year old come out and play
you want to learn more about the moon phases and how to create with them

This is not for you if:

you are uncomfortable with witchy things
you are impatient with people who don’t get all the details just right (I’m a creative intuitive with a lot of gifts but getting all the details just right isn’t one of them so patience and kindness is necessary.)
you believe there is a right way to practice spirituality or moon magic and a wrong way
you are uncomfortable connecting with your spirit allies and/or ancestors
