Rituals

RITUAL: AN ACT OR A SERIES OF ACTS REGULARLY REPEATED. 

Rituals is about more intention, thoughtfulness, and awareness in your year. Rituals is for you if you feel like time has passed so quickly that you’re not sure where it went. You just know you need to make some changes or the rest of the year will pass in another blink. And between blinks, you still wouldn’t have made that art that you feel is in your deepest of deeps. 

Rituals is about making that deep art. It’s taking the next level in your art. It’s taking action to focus on your art, being intentional about it, and grounding yourself in time. 

Do you want to look back at your time and say, “I was intentional in my days and my art?” Do you want to feel like you really worked at bringing forth the art that has been waiting to come out? Do you want an art journal filled with art made with depth that only you can create? 

Vanessa is a prolific artist who specialises in creating thought-provoking, deep pieces of art, that happen to look great. Vanessa, who we call Queen V around these parts, is an artist who has an almost magical ability to bring out that depth in other artists. 

Although, as you know, there is no magic over here. We’re very practical around here. 

In Rituals, Vanessa turns her magic into action steps. These action steps were written for you

For each month, the course explores a theme directly related to that month’s season according to the solar and lunar calendar. You will be led through an art technique and/or medium for each month that will help you meditate on the theme and immerse yourself in this place and time to help you slow down the ticking calendar. When you join Rituals, you will receive immediate access to the 12 months of content. You can start at the beginning or you can start in the current month and let your Rituals practice flow through the next 12 months. You can work at your own pace, and you'll have long-term access to the course so you can schedule to work through the 12 lessons as best works for you.
