Art Soul Gathering is Back! 😍

Dearest Creative Friend,

I have exciting news! My dear friend Ida Andersen Lang is running another round of her wonderful Art Soul Gathering! This is a wonderful free event each year that focuses on Celebrating Mother Nature and the Divine Feminine!

Come join us and enjoy free lessons from 13 celebrated artist teachers!

For my session we’ll paint this sweet little birdie together! I so loved painting him! ♥️♥️♥️

Here is an invite for you in Ida’s words:

“You are invited … Celebrate Mother Nature and the Divine Feminine with 12 days of artmaking. Come, hear the winds of your intuition whisper, and let the waves of blissful nature infuse creativity into your art.

In the Art Soul Gathering 2024, enjoy free lessons from 13 celebrated artist teachers. Each are gifting you with their beautiful visions and artistic techniques to inspire your creative journey with Nature and Spirit.

You will become part of a worldwide community of creative souls and get to know the teachers. And oh, there will be plenty of art bonuses, give aways, surprises and live sessions all the way through the Gathering.

This free event is suitable for creatives of all levels – beginners, intermediate and experienced. The lessons are designed for you to enjoy, from just where you are in your creative journey. As we move through this experience together, we will lift each other up and hold creative sacred space.”

In the middle of editing this troll lesson for next week and I was just hit by a wave of calm just gazing upon this super cute little face.

And many of you will know that over the years I`ve made many a innocent little creature and I`ve talked before how creating innocent, sweet characters have a direct calming effect on my nervous system. I don`t mean it metaphorically but biologically. My shoulders drop. My breathing slows. I feel a calm settling in.

Apparently; there’s science behind this: soft, friendly faces trigger oxytocin and parasympathetic responses linked to safety and bonding, while stress hormones drop. ✨🙌✨

But there’s something else too.

These characters don’t want anything. They’re not impressive, persuasive, ironic, or self-serving. They feel like little support characters whose only message is: "I’m here, with you, just sitting, being present for/ with you." ♥️

I think innocence signals something rare in adult life; presence without extraction, without needing something from you. And my body seems to trust that instantly.

I keep making characters like this because they *regulate* me as much as anyone else.

Leaving this here as a quiet reminder that gentleness has a real nervous-system impact.
