About this event


Presence | Process | Possibility.


This soulful workshop is for artists who seek to nurture their creative flow, dissolve resistance, and move with the natural currents of inspiration. Whether you are in a season of expansion, feeling creatively stuck, or caught in cycles of perfectionism, this space will guide you into deeper attunement with your body, nervous system, and artistic essence.  


A Flâneuse is more than a wanderer; she is an artist of presence, moving through the world with open curiosity, attuned to beauty, sensation, and the unseen rhythms of life. She creates not just with her hands, but with her way of being, allowing inspiration to find her in the quiet spaces between structure and surrender.


Through shamanic meditation, bilateral drawing, and intuitive mark-making,we enter a space of embodied artistry, where thinking softens, energy moves, and creativity emerges effortlessly.  


A Journey of Creative Embodiment 

In the spirit of the Flâneuse, we embrace wandering as an art form. Allowing creativity to unfold naturally rather than forcing it into rigid structures.  


✨ If you are overwhelmed by ideas and in rapid expansion, you will find grounding and integration.  

✨ If you feel stuck or uninspired, you will reawaken movement and flow.  

✨ If you are trapped in perfectionism or procrastination, you will experience liberation and trust. 

Step into the realm of limitless creation, where your body, mind, and spirit move in harmony with the great current of inspiration.


The way you feel within shapes the world you create. When your inner world - your thoughts, emotions, energy, and creative flow - is in harmony, you open the door to meaningful connections, love, and fulfillment.



The Flâneuse Experience


Shamanic Meditation & Creative Visioning

We begin by quieting the mind and tuning into deeper creative currents. This sacred meditation calls in ancestral wisdom, intuition, and artistic insight, allowing inspiration to arise organically.


Bilateral Drawing & Nervous System Repatterning

Engaging both hands in rhythmic, intuitive movement activates cross-hemispheric communication in the brain. This practice shifts us from stress into creative flow, dissolving mental blocks and fostering effortless self-expression.


Intuitive Mark-Making & Expressive Flow

Art becomes a language beyond words. Through spontaneous, embodied gestures, we bypass overthinking and allow subconscious imagery, symbols, and emotions to emerge freely. Unlocking creative depth and authenticity.


Journaling & Integration

Reflection transforms experience into awareness. What has emerged? What messages, insights, or breakthroughs are revealing themselves? This step bridges subconscious creation with conscious understanding, offering clarity for your artistic practice.


Creativity as a Way of Being

The Flâneuse moves through life as an artist - receptive, curious, unbound by rigid expectations. She trusts the ebb and flow of creativity, knowing that inspiration is not something to chase but something to meet, moment by moment.

Creativity as Awakening

Creativity is not something we force; it is something we surrender to. It is a current we step into, a rhythm we align with, a language that speaks through us. When we quiet the mind and trust the process, creativity flows naturally, unfolding in ways we could never plan, yet always leading us exactly where we need to go.

In this sacred space, creativity is not about outcome but about attunement, activation, and awakening. It is a space to trust in the unknown, surrender to the process, and witness the unfolding of your deepest creative truths.

This is not just a practice, it is an artistic alchemy that rewires the nervous system, expands creative trust, and awakens new ways of seeing, feeling, and expressing.

Step into this space of deep artistic embodiment. Let go of the need to control, and allow your creativity to move through you.


Welcome to Flâneuse.


With inspiration & creative flow,

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to bring anything ?

You won’t need to bring any art supplies — all paper and drawing tools will be lovingly provided for you. Just bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated, and a journal and pen to capture any insights, reflections, or creative sparks that arise during the session.

What should I wear?

Wear something comfortable that you can move in with ease. Think soft, relaxed clothing you won’t mind getting a little messy. This is a space for expression, not perfection, so leave the restrictive outfits and white pants at home.

Why Inner Healing Matters

Inner healing is the foundation for creative expression, intuitive wisdom, and deep self-trust. When you heal from within, you move through life with clarity, confidence, and a sense of ease, allowing your gifts to unfold naturally.
