An 8-Week Heart Art Journey in Awakening your Spark!
“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” - Howard Thurman
Life can feel rushed, noisy, and overwhelming. This course offers a pause - a space to reconnect with what makes you feel awake, joyful, and whole.
Over eight weeks, we’ll explore different pathways into aliveness: sensing, wonder, passion, connection, expression, courage, and flow. Each session we’ll gather in a gentle rhythm of:
- Centring – arriving in stillness and presence
- Intuitive Art-Making – giving expression to your inner landscape
- Reflection Writing – witnessing what is revealed
- Sharing – optional, in a supportive circle
In the final week, we’ll reflect on our journey, weaving together the sparks of insight and creativity discovered along the way.
This is not about perfection or technique. It’s about creating space for yourself, listening deeply, and exploring what makes you come alive.

“Gail links art-making to building health and thriving in the brave new world.”
“This has opened my eyes to my inner strength and ability.”
“I would highly recommend this for anyone who wants to play creatively … The beauty of this work is that it can be 'kept light' or it can provide a powerful opportunity to do some deep soul work.”
“I didn't believe I had a creative bone in my body … now I know that creativity is actually in your soul. Heart Art opened my world. It's taught me that there is so much more to how we can express our emotions, as well as undercover what is going on. It is soul awakening.”
WHAT IS HEART ART?
Heart Art is spontaneous “in the moment” creative expression. It tells you exactly what you need to know about yourself right now.
Heart Art is a non-judgemental approach to art-making where the creative process is the focus rather than the end product. There are no planned outcomes or expectations. You are encouraged to work spontaneously and to trust the creative process. You are invited to express yourself honestly and to honour all that is made with acceptance.
At the beginning of each session, you are introduced to a life-oriented theme and guided through an inspiration process (visualisation, meditation, story etc). This creates a focus for the art-making activity. These processes are designed to bypass the critical, controlling mind so that you are able to let go of fear and surrender to the moment.
The art-making involves mixed-media work using a wide variety of materials (clay, collage, painting, drawing, print-making etc). The approach is playful and experimental.
At the end of each session, there is time for reflecting on the creative process. This is an opportunity to explore meaning and make connections between art and life.
