Recovering Your Intuitive Voice for Art + Life
This blog is designed to help you recover that important connection to the Intuitive Voice, first in understanding what it truly is and how unique it is to each one of us, the fingerprint of our very own soul, your truest and most authentic core self.
Introducing the Recovering Your Intuitive Voice Membership Community
Currently our membership group is focused on Connection and Community. Our monthly live zoom hangouts have changed focus from having specific topics and directed conversations in 1 or 2 live sessions each month, to being a supportive space where we currently meet up to 6 times a month bringing a creative project to the table to work on while the conversation flows organically.
Members are free to express themselves and bring up whatever is on their heart and mind within the safety and acceptance of that container. Whether it is the current political atmosphere and how it is impacting the individual and broader society, or personal health issues, or creative blocks and breakthroughs, this time together is intended to affirm the authentic core self of each artist.
We do not see art and life as separate. We affirm the artist within each member, whether they are actively pursuing their craft, or taking a hiatus from producing anything that the world might identify as art. Keeping the hands busy while connecting within our community can be as simple as doodling on a piece of paper while listening to the conversation.
Within these hangouts, plans for collaboration projects begin to take root. Messages of perseverance and hope are shared through book discussions and quotes, and a sense of equilibrium and trust in ones own core authentic voice is restored through the simple act of belonging, being allowed to show up in the full spectrum of our humanity and be seen.
The formal description of group membership benefits are:
Twice monthly prerecorded workshop posts. Two lesson videos x two posts each month= four prerecorded video lessons each month! Lessons are currently from the Wax, Paper, Scissors: Hot and Cold Wax Combinations with Paper.
Plus+ continued access to all previous lessons and workshops posted.
Informal book club— Through occasional conversations and posts.
Written posts focusing on the Intuitive Voice/Art Critic messaging.
Exclusive monthly journal and writing prompts.
Multiple monthly live zoom hangout sessions. Currently we meet for 6 live hangouts per month for facilitated, peer-to-peer mentoring, art making, and support. This is the time we get to connect and get to know each other, talk about our own journey as artists and creatives in a very casual atmosphere as we keep our hands busy creating. Think of this as part group coaching, accountability, and mentorship.
Continued access to all previous member posts and workshop lesson videos.
Opportunities for art swaps, group projects, and More!
Discovering Your Intuitive Voice Workshop
Start your understanding of the Intuitive Voice with the first workshop I taught live online, Discovering Your Intuitive Voice, now edited into a free series of short, easy to follow video lessons available for all here on the blog.
Hi I’m Crystal Marie!
Artist, Writer, Speaker, Intuitive, Way Pointer
I’m not here to teach you to make art. I’m here to teach you to use your voice! My passion in teaching comes from discovering that my intuitive voice is simply the core, most authentic expression, of my own dang voice. Learning to tune in to listen to it has led me to create art, and a life, that is beyond what I ever believed possible.
Here’s a bit more about my life as an artist:
Crystal Marie is an artist and an author with a passion for teaching others how to recover their own unique voice. Her process is intuitive, which, she says, is simply the truest, most authentic version of her own voice.
Following her intuitive knowing has been the foundation of Crystal’s career as an artist, when in her 30s a happenstance encounter with a stranger handing her an art magazine was all it took to awaken that long forgotten place inside.
Today Crystal has an established career as a professional artist with gallery representation, one book published on the art of collage, and is currently writing a book about the intuitive voice. Crystal has exhibited her work in many fine art exhibitions, solo shows, and events. She teaches workshops on her website Canary Rising and locations across the US.
I’m so glad you’ve decided to join us at the virtual table!
Crystal Marie
