Active Kreative

There’s a moment in the creative process where you stop trying to make something —
and something begins to make you.This week, we step outside the studio and into the living classroom of the earth.
Through gentle somatic movement, sensory awareness, and land-based art therapy, we let the body remember what it has always known: you belong.

🌀 Practice:
Gather leaves, branches, or stones that call to you. Let your hands move without planning — weave, arrange, or mark the earth as if it were your canvas. Allow nature to collaborate with you.

🎨 Process:
Notice how creation changes when the wind, soil, and sunlight join in. The goal is not perfection, but presence.

💫 Reflection:
“What part of me feels mirrored in this landscape?”
“What is the earth teaching me about letting go and becoming?”

As we work with nature, we don’t just make art — we remember ourselves as part of something whole, cyclical, and alive.

There came a moment when I could no longer pretend.
I was exhausted from saying yes to everything that hurt.
Yes to being the good daughter, the peacekeeper, the one who never questioned.

When I finally said no, it wasn’t loud or angry —
it was quiet, trembling, and sacred.
But it was mine.

Silence had become too heavy to carry.
It wasn’t rage that rose first — it was truth.
Soft. Ancient. Undeniable.

For years I said yes to what dimmed me —
yes to peace at any cost,
yes to pleasing,
yes to carrying the comfort of others while abandoning my own.

Then a different voice began to speak —
the voice of my lineage.
It whispered:
“Say no, and be free.”

And so, trembling, I did.

That was the Threshold of No —
where loyalty turned to liberation,
where I stopped reaching for my mother’s approval
and began reaching for my own soul.

In the Active Kreative process, this is the moment when creation meets truth —
the body starts to release the old reflexes of compliance,
and the art begins to speak what the voice could not.

Through breath, line, and colour, we meet the edges of our fear.
And in that discomfort — something ancient shifts.
The body remembers:
Saying no is not rebellion.
It’s remembrance.
It’s repair.

🜂 Saying no is sacred. It’s the sound of truth returning home.

Beloved one,
I’m stepping into a new chapter — deeper, slower, closer to the earth.
This January, I’m opening a full-day Art Therapy: Weaving with Nature retreat on the Sunshine Coast.
It’s a space for you — sensitive, wise and quietly tired of holding it all together — to come home to your creative rhythm.
We’ll move, breathe and weave with nature itself — sticks, twine, wool and found treasures — to tell the story of your becoming.
No pressure to perform. No need to fix anything...

If this speaks to your heart, I’d love you to join me.

I grew up watching women stay silent to survive.
Mothers opening their bodies for safety.
Daughters obeying for love.

When we are silenced, our frequency fades.
There is no vibration,
no sound —
just generations of women holding their breath.

And one day,
that silence becomes too loud to ignore.

I carry the lineage of women who survived:
the witches who hid their medicine,
the mothers who protected their children,
the women who did everything for everyone
and left nothing for themselves.

In their world, self-care was guilt,
and silence was safety.

But in the Active Kreative process,
there always comes a moment —
when the body remembers that silence hurts.
When the artwork reveals a face with no mouth,
a throat that longs to open.

That’s where healing begins.
In that moment of discomfort,
when the old frequency breaks
and we dare to breathe sound back into the story.

Saying yes to life.
Saying no to smallness,
to pleasing,
to the inherited obedience that once kept us safe.

When I said no to my mother,
it wasn’t rebellion — it was repair.
It was standing up for the mothers who couldn’t.
For the women who had to survive instead of thrive.

🜂 Your pain is the compost.
And the moment you begin —
creation becomes the bloom.

✦ When Life Became Compost

There was a time when everything I loved was unraveling at once.
I had just given birth to my daughter while my brother went to war in Ukraine. My father left for Spain.
My mother was trapped under occupation, unreachable. And at home, the man I thought was my future began turning his pain into control. Our home became a battlefield of silence.

During one of my therapy supervision sessions, my therapist looked at me and said,
“Break down here. I’ll hold you. You can fall apart without fear — I’ll help you come back.”

So I did.And it was hard.
It felt terrifying to surrender control, to let my body shake, feel the full weight of everything I had been holding. And in that shattering, I began to breathe again.
I had been trying to hold it all — mother, wife, daughter, peacekeeper. But the more I held, the more I disappeared.
What I didn’t know then was that this was the alchemy of breakdown. Everything collapsing so that nothing false could remain.
I was being composted into truth.

In our creative process, this is the moment of the shattering —
the body releasing, the breath returning,
the courage to let go of control and dissolve into what’s real.

🜂 Every ending carries the seed of new life.

Healing Art Alchemy is remembrance through beauty.As an alchemist of the heart, I see our work at Active Kreative as a transformative journey—an alchemical path. In this methodology, we take the raw materials of our human experience—our emotions, our stories, our challenges—and guide them through a creative process that transforms them into something golden.

As an alchemist, I use creativity—art, sacred geometry, and intuitive practices—as our philosopher’s stone. This is the tool that allows us to turn lead into gold—transforming pain into insight, fear into empowerment, and emotion into healing art.

At Active Kreative, this alchemical path is all about evolving into new stages of being. We’re not just creating art; we’re co-creating a new, more harmonious version of ourselves. I’m so excited to share this journey with you and to explore the magic of transformation together.

✨🎨 The Frequency of Images: Why Art Shapes Reality 🌈🔺
We live in a world of constant visual consumption. Every image, every color, every pattern is not just seen—it’s felt.
🔹 Colors are frequencies of light.
🔹 Geometry is vibration made visible.
🔹 Images speak to the body faster than words.

When you create or surround yourself with certain visuals, you’re not just decorating—you’re programming your nervous system and tuning your field. Ancient cultures knew this. Sacred geometry, temples, mandalas, stained glass—all designed as technologies of consciousness to shift the way humans think, feel, and connect to the cosmos.

Modern science is catching up: light frequencies entering your eyes affect your brain chemistry, mood, hormones, even your sleep cycles. The “field” of images you consume daily is shaping your biology and your perception of reality.

That means your art, your design, your visual rituals aren’t just beautiful… they’re blueprints for manifestation.
Vision boards, ritual mandalas, sacred patterns—they train your attention and literally rewire your brain to see, act, and create differently.

🎨 Art is frequency. Art is technology. Art is power.
The question is: are you consciously using it?

👉 I’ve written a deeper blog article unpacking the science + spirit of visual frequency—from sacred geometry to the pineal gland—explaining how we can reclaim this tool to shape our inner and outer worlds.

Today I experienced the power of being truly seen and heard—not just supported, but deeply witnessed in silence and empathy. 🌿

There is something incredibly healing about knowing that your journey, your thoughts, and your experiences are witnessed with presence and compassion. It’s not just about being supported—it’s about feeling that your truth is held in a space of gentle acknowledgment. In that presence, there is a quiet kind of healing that allows you to move forward on your path.

If you’re feeling alone, remember that the act of witnessing can be a profound gift. You deserve to be seen and heard, and to find that space where your story is held with empathy. Let’s continue to be that presence for each other. 💛
