Creative Living Pathways

Bringing together a lifetime of study and research into spiritual practices and artistic expression is a desire made manifest for me. I am currently in my third Saturn cycle (and last Saturn cycle) which is a time to share the fruits of a lifetime’s worth of experience and learning.

Here you will find expert instruction in the field of visual art and creative living. The courses offered are designed to bring you closer to your most authentic self, fully connected to Earth and Cosmos, your true divine nature.

I invite you to explore the courses as well as the free offerings throughout the site. Currently in development are three courses: Astrology 101, Creative Meditation, and Vibrational Power. I created these courses to be affordable as well as relevant for those seeking self-paced learning.

There are a number of free offerings available throughout the site. I offer a news letter sent once a month with insights for the coming month’s lunations and planetary transits.

I also share a decades’ worth of messages from my guides, channeled through automatic writing and addressing numerous spiritual questions.

I also provide a free birth chart at your request. Use it as you explore the Astrology 101 course to better understand your life’s purpose.

Astrology 101

Astrology: Millenia of Wisdom

The practice and study of astrology is 5,000 and more years of wisdom and discovery. In that time astrology has fallen in and out of favor with intellectuals and governments throughout its history. In that sense, the practice is truly revolutionary.

Astrology is pattern recognition from the perspective that we live in an ensouled universe of which we are a part. The patterns of the cosmos become a symbolic language when observed from Earth’s perspective, that gives us information we may use for more harmonious living.

There is no claim that Mercury makes anything happen to us. A causative relationship with the cosmos is a misrepresentation of what astrology is. Rather, an astrological language allows us to understand the patterns the planets and stars make in the sky from Earth’s perspective.

By learning the language, we begin to understand the patterns which repeat and develop and offer wisdom. This is why many astrologers will call their interpretation of planet placement and pattern a weather report. The patterns showing up in the sky are likely to also show up on our planet and in our lives.

Astrology 101 is a self-paced, affordable course designed to give you a firm foundation for your astrological journey.

The Astrology 101 course offers an introduction to:

Understanding Astrology as a symbolic language
Planets, signs, and houses and their meaning
Aspects and what they mean in a birth chart interpretation
How to read a birth chart, step by step
Understanding the elements and modes of zodiacal signs
Light, sight, and planetary rulership.

The Astrology 101 course is in the last stages of development. Stay tuned for its launch in Summer 2026.

Creative Meditation

Joy of Creative Living

Creativity is at the center of divinity. The evidence of a creative universe is all around us in the fecundity of the Earth. How many pine needles are necessary for the tree to live? I think the answer is every single one of them. The “more is more” adage is abundantly apparent throughout nature.

As a part of Earth and Her abundant reality, I look for ways to create every day. This practice allows me to connect with the abundant and prolific nature of our planet. I use what I already have first to create images of my dreams, my desires, and the ideas that come to me through the variety of interests ever present in my consciousness, and create something new.

Creative meditation has given me a structure for exploring the reality in which I live. This reality includes ideas and imaginations presenting themselves throughout the day. Creative meditation, practiced regularly, provides a space in which I am able to connect with the divine creativity of which I am a part.

The Creative Meditation course is a culmination of decades worth of education, experience, and joyful creation to share affordably. Creative Meditation is a self-paced and fun course for those interested in exploring the connection their divine nature.

Building a creative community dedicated to a strong commitment to living a creative and artful life is available through a Substack subscription, and include guided and community initiated projects designed to bring the joy of creative living into your everyday life. Join the Creative Meditation Circle to embed these practices into your daily life.

The Creative Meditation course and the Creative Meditation Circle are currently under development.

Vibrational Power

Imagination and Action

Vibrational Power, is known by many names. Prayer, power of attraction, spiritual mind treatment to name just a few. In this form of prayer, we know ourselves to be a part of the whole divine and completely made up of that divine power. We know the universe as our friend.

Through the ages, this power has been suspected and feared. You may have heard it referred to as the power of attraction, manifestation practices, and maybe even magic. Claims of unlimited power through these practices are at the same time true and untrue.

In Christian traditions, God often answers prayer with “No.” In New Age and Metaphysical practices the divine always says “Yes.” So how do we come to terms with all of this? Or would it be better to reduce our reality to exactly what we see and no more?

Vibrational Power assumes that we live in an ensouled universe comprised of both seen and unseen realities. The practice requires a belief that each of us stands at the point and power of choice in every moment and that by matching our vibration to our desires we experience them in form.

However, matching our vibration to our desires is the trick because Vibrational Power manifests through us. It is not an outside force. What we wish for another, we necessarily wish for ourselves and those wishes are divinely powered. There is a simplicity to Vibrational Power that makes its practice seem easy.

The Vibrational Power course offers a deeper understanding of this profound spiritual practice. The course allows you to explore the divine within you through imaginative practices designed to help align your desires with the highest and best for all beings. The course is a result of decades’ training and practice in Vibrational Power creatively, professionally, and personally. Experience how Vibrational Power works in and through your life and the lives of those you love.

The Vibrational Power course is currently under development.
