Voyage of Discovery
This is a course about self-awareness. It has been specifically designed for those who have lost touch with their creativity and wish to discover a freer and more creative life through their artistic expression.
This nine week series is largely experiential, although there is a small amount of instruction each week. The course encourages self involvement amidst group participation.
Imagine, by taking this voyage you could:
- actively create the life you want
- become artistically inspired
- increase your creative expression
- break free from restrictions that keep you from fully expressing yourself.
Absolutely no artistic/drawing experience needed.
Below is a poem written by someone after taking the Voyage of Discovery Workshop.
For the longest while
I couldn’t see that my life
Was being lived in a vacant room
That is my mindI lived each day
As a ship crossing the water
Not leaving a trace for others to see
Of my passingBut you awoke
The hint of a ripple deep within
The heart of me crying out and
Gave it wingsAnd now I feel
The pulse of the world beating
Within the soul of my being and I
Live to createThe beauty that is my life — A poem written for Yvonne Rose by M.J. (11/05/98) at the end of her Voyage of Discovery

Call of The Swan
Have you heard the call of greatness yet were unable to claim it? Are you frustrated because you can’t seem to use what you know you have?
Come to CALL OF THE SWAN, a one-day workshop where you will explore your life and the people who have shaped your attitudes towards yourself. The workshop will help you to clear some of your past beliefs that have held you back. Using the metaphors found in Hans Christian Andersen’s wonderful tale The Ugly Duckling, you will change your thought forms through the use of your own story, healing work, and forgiveness techniques, as you propel yourself into your true potential, and your innate greatness.
The ugly duckling had the swaness in him since birth, but it was everything and everyone else that knocked it out of him!
Doors
Moving Through The Emotional Pain of Abortion. A time for closing a door to the Past, while opening one for the Future.
For whatever the reason, many women have had an abortion. No matter how many years ago, the memory remains deep within the cells of the body. For some of us, the pain of the memories lies just under the surface, ready to erupt at any given time. For others, the memories have been pushed deep into the psyche.
Chances are, if you have not had the ritual of closure and forgiveness, the pain of your loss is still with you.
Doing your individual work on this issue will help you deal with various issues such as: anger, sorrow, regret, guilt, and shame.
Through this work you will have the opportunity to heal yourself through forgiveness and by letting go. You will close the door to the past as you step through the door to your dynamic future and become more fully alive.
