What if you had a way to escape the overwhelm even just for a moment?
Are you feeling stuck indoors or dealing with toxic people? Is there a disconnect, a block in your energy flow?
Imagine having an easily accessible, tranquil space just for you to get grounded and centered.
If despite trying meditation apps, office plants, journaling, and more, reaching a mindful and calm mental state still feels challenging. Then …
Let’s Build A Portal To Your Refuge
What is that?
It is a whole Mindful Fine Art Experience! Including a mindful visualization session with me to explore and venture through your perfect place of utmost rest and peace, personalized mindfulness practices, postcards from your safe place, and last but not least your very own Portal to Your Refuge painting.
And I am so excited to offer a few slots again this month. You can book now or – if you are not ready yet – join the waitlist for the next round, and I will keep you in the loop. When you book or sign up for the waitlist, I will send you a short pre-recorded visualization practice as a sample.
Want to know more? Let me tell you all about it below!
If you have even more questions or prefer to read all the details, please check out the information below or send me a message through my contact form.
Imagine you had a magic portal to a secret space just for you, somewhere outside of the daily rush and worry.
Where do you feel safe enough to let your true self shine?
Let’s discover your haven together, whether it’s a lush garden or a mystical land. We will explore and imagine this refuge together.
I’ll bring it to life through a personalized painting, creating a portal for you to step into whenever you need calm and grounding.
Reconnect with your inner peace, find your divine center, and recharge your energy, so you can face life with calm resilience, ready to weather any storm.
You may ask how a painting can do this. Let me tell you that this is not just a painting.
What I am offering and what’s included?
I offer three ways to help you connect with your special safe and tranquil space:
1 “Our Portal to Your Refuge” Group Visualization
Which includes a “Venture Through Your Portal Group Session” as well as prompts and tips on how to create your portal in a creative way via different mediums.
2 Essential Portal Experience
Which includes a one-on-one “Venture Through Your Portal Session” and a smaller painting of your portal by me.
3 Whole Portal Experience
Which includes a one-on-one “Venture Through Your Portal Session”, a recorded mindfulness practice, postcards from your portal as well as a large painting of your special place by me.
So what are all these elements I mention in my offering?
Venture Through Your Portal Session (1, 2, 3)
A session where we’ll embark on an immersive journey through your portal to your safe space via visualization meditation while setting expectations for the envisioned image.
When you book or sign up for the waitlist, I will send you a short pre-recorded visualization practice as a sample.
Mindfulness Practice For Your Daily Life (3)
Based on the session, I will record a personalized mindfulness practice for you and your portal! Easily stay connected with your safe space while waiting for the portal and deepen your experience with your portal afterward.
Postcards from your Portal (3)
Then, while we build this portal together, I will send you four handmade one-of-a-kind postcards with scenes from your portal. With these, you will see your vision come to life right before you.
Your Very Own Portal To Your Refuge (2, 3)
At the end, you will receive your portal as an original watercolor and gouache artwork.
Your portal will be a powerful tool for your mindful practice: unlocking the power of imagination and intuition.
Why is mindfulness so important to me? Mindfulness is essential for a healthy, fulfilling life. By cultivating mindfulness, we can be fully present in the moment, let go of worries about the past or future, and appreciate the beauty of the world around us.
Spending time in nature is the easiest way to be in a mindful state. It allows us to connect with something greater than ourselves, feel grounded and calm, and gain perspective on our lives.
But oftentimes, we cannot spend time in nature and may struggle to connect to a mindful state. This is where I want your portal to come in. I wish for your portal to be a powerful tool for cultivating mindfulness.
It may encourage you to slow down and engage with your senses in a more focused way. When you view your portal, you can take the time to notice the details – the colors, textures, shapes, and lines – and let yourself enter your safe place and be fully present in the moment.
I hope this will help you quiet your mind and let go of distractions, worries, and stress, allowing you to connect more deeply with the universe and yourself.
I, too, need to combat my own stress and worries and re-connect to my inner child.
Being in the flow and mindfulness became increasingly important to me in my 30s. On one hand, due to being creative and making art again. But also as I became a mother in 2017. I wanted my child to experience the magic of the universe, parent more gently and mindfully to not pass on generational trauma from my ancestors, and become the parent I wished for as a child. I also wanted to combat my own stress and worries and reconnect to my inner child.
All of this led me to dive into mindfulness, so much so that I started a podcast on mindfulness together with my like-minded friend Jackie: The Becoming Mindful Podcast. Our mission is to not only expand our own knowledge and practice of being mindful but also give it to others to help them on their path, as well as hold ourselves more accountable.
And this found its way into my art as well. In 2022 I painted a series of Windows to Nature, that were in a way the precursor to the portal idea. In 2023, I brought some smaller portals to tranquility to life with my Mini Portals series.
Testimonials
ind out what others say about working with me on their portal to their refuge.
“The visualization session alone was worth the money.
[About the recorded visualization practice, I send after the 1-on 1 session:]
I listened to it and journeyed to my portal, it is so well done and the ambient sounds are wonderful.
[About the postcards]
The four postcards are all beautiful!
I really like how each one is a different vantage point—really amazing work.
[About the final painting:] It is very beautiful. I love the way it all came together, and the colors are very calming.“
– Alex (Full Portal Experience)
“I really liked the idea of a mixture of meditation and painting, and thought it would be something special to have a deeper connection. I also already experienced the concept of a safe space that I already visualized in meditations before (it was a hypnobirthing course back then), and I really liked the idea of someone else painting this place.
My favorite part of the experience was the meditation session, getting to know each other, and the anticipation for the painting.
I was surprised that the envisioned place was slightly different from the last time I did it in the hypnobirthing course, which shows that it always changes depending on the time and setting.
I learned to value this safe little place and visit it more often. A place of peace and calmness where I can always go when I need it. Thank you for sharing this great experience and making the effort.”
– Scharle (Essential Portal Experience)
“Thank you for sharing your mindfulness abilities in an artistic way. I am grateful to learn from you and be in a healing space.“
– Heather (Group Experience)
“Excellent experience – Thank You! Your voice & guidance was so gentle & effective.“
– Lynnea (Group Experience)
Slots are now open.
As much as I wish I could paint all day, I will only have limited capacity, especially if I attend shows or have other commissions lined up. So, I decided to open a limited amount of slots each time.
I have two slots for the whole experience, four slots for the essential experience, and 15 slots for the group experience.
The date and time the group visualization sessions will be held are:
October 26th, 2024
November 16th, 2024
December 14th, 2024
All of them are from 1 pm to 2 pm central time.
Booking is open now! But if you are not ready, you can join the waitlist for the next round.
So what does this cost? And other questions.
At the moment, I am offering
1 – the group visualization sessions for $25 (paid upfront)
2 – the essential portal package for $200 (paid upfront)
3 – the whole package for only $500 ($200 paid upfront & $300 paid after delivery)
Some other questions you may have.
What is the schedule for the group sessions?
The following dates and times are currently scheduled for the group sessions:
October 26th, 2024
November 16th, 2024
December 14th, 2024
All of them are from 1 pm to 2 pm central time.
Do I have to commit to a group session date when booking?
When booking, I ask you to indicate which one you plan to attend. This helps my planning. However, your purchase is valid for any one group session in the next six months.
What size is the final painting?
The size is 8 x 10 inches for the small portal and 18 x 24 inches for the large one.
What about frame and shipping?
This offer does not cover frames unless requested. As frames are usually heavy and increase the packaging and shipping cost a bit, I offer this as an add-on.
What if you want to, but money is tight right now?
Don’t worry. We can figure something out. I don’t want cost to be a reason that you deny yourself this portal, the refuge you can access through it, and the work we will do together. If this is an issue for you, don’t hesitate to get in touch with me, and we can discuss a payment plan or a modular approach.
Ready to escape through your very own portal?
If this speaks to you, please book the portal experience that suits you the best. Or you can sign up for the waitlist for the next round. I will send all the critical information and update you on open slots. I will also send you a short pre-recorded visualization practice as a sample. If you have any other questions, please let me know.
I look forward to working with you to help you relieve your overwhelm and recharge your energy, and I am so excited to create Your “Portal to Your Refuge” with you.
