🎨 PAINTING THE SOUL-SCAPE — WEEK TWO 🎨

Week two… and we’re continuing to learn what happens when we stop trying to make art and allow something deeper to move through us.

Painting the Soul-Scape isn’t about creating a “good” painting. It’s about building relationship with ourselves—with colour, sensation, impulse, emotion, intuition and what wants to emerge.

A few of the guidelines we’re practicing:

🎨 There are no mistakes. What appears on the canvas becomes part of the conversation - The relationship with Source.

👁️ Notice before you judge. When the mind says, “I don’t like that,” we get curious about what’s happening inside.

🖌️ Follow the impulse. Reach for the colour, tool, movement or mark your body is drawn toward—even when you don’t know why.

💜 Let the body lead. Notice sensation, emotion, energy, resistance, excitement and contraction. They are all information.

🤫 Witness without interpreting. We don’t tell another woman what her painting means—or attempt to make meaning of our own too soon. This isn’t analysis or therapy. We make room for the relationship with what is emerging.

🔄 Face the Fears. Learn to let go. Paint over it. Wipe it away. Turn the canvas. Add another layer. Nothing has to be precious.

✨ Trust the process more than the outcome.

Because real art isn’t what ends up on the canvas.
True Creativity is about trusting how your navigate the unknown - it is learning to hear—and trust—the part of ourselves that already knows.

Week Two of Painting the Soul-Scape. 💜

WHAT IF YOUR BODY ISN’T THE PROBLEM?

Much of our culture teaches us to approach the body as something to manage.

✅ Fix the symptom.
✅ Control the appetite.
✅ Calm the anxiety.
✅ Correct the behaviour.
✅ Get back to “normal.”

But what happens when we become curious instead?
What is my body responding to?
What has it learned?
What has it carried?
What might it be communicating that I haven’t yet learned how to hear?

Living Soul-Side Out explores the often-invisible connections between our emotional landscapes, physical bodies, relationships, trauma imprints, and the patterns moving through generations.

It invites us to ask a radically different question:
What changes when we begin relating to ourselves with curiosity instead of correction?

That is one of the conversations we’ll be exploring in our Living Soul-Side Out Women’s Book Club at Healing Connections Wellness Centre 💜

Our pre-reading book club is already full!

And now, Amber McCalmon - the owner of Healing Connections, has invited us to host another book club at their beautiful space.

This group will be among the very FIRST to read the book—and experience its stories in conversation with the women who lived them.

📖 Over six Friday evenings, we’ll read, reflect, and explore what these stories awaken in our own lives.

⭕ Each contributing author will join us on the evening we discuss her story, bringing an opportunity to ask questions, share, and connect beyond the page.

🍵 Tea and snacks and the NEWLY RELEASED book will be provided, with a small cost to participate.

📍 Healing Connections 10548 115 St NW, Edmonton
🗓️ Six Fridays: November 13–December 18, 2026

Evening gatherings • 6:30-8:00 pm Stay afterwards to socialize.

Living Soul-Side Out is an invitation into deeper questions—and into relationships where we can explore them together.

THERE ARE THINGS WOMEN LIVE THROUGH THEY DON’T SAY OUT LOUD.

Things our bodies have carried.
Relationships that changed us.
Symptoms we couldn’t explain.
Moments we questioned ourselves.

The ways we learned to survive, accommodate, perform, protect, disappear—or become incredibly capable.

And sometimes, when another woman finally tells the truth about her experience, something inside us recognizes it.

Oh. Me too.

Throughout Living Soul-Side Out, ten contributing authors from our community have allowed their deeply personal soul-stories to live alongside my own writing.

🌿 Here is a glimpse into Gisele’s story: Beneath the Beautiful Smile

“Although my dad was my cheerleader, and encouraged me by telling me how smart, beautiful, and capable I was, I didn’t believe him. The story I came to believe, by watching my father’s struggle with his own emotions, was that I wouldn’t be accepted or loved unless I was happy and smiling. I became a mirror of my father—what appeared on the outside was very different from what I felt on the inside. I wore that beautiful, superficial smile for a very long time.

In keeping a constant smile, I unknowingly created a space where authenticity and honesty couldn’t exist.”

👂Sound familiar to you?

That is the invitation behind The Soul Speaks —
An immersive evening of stories told in the moment, where we can recognize ourselves in one another.

🕯️ Surrounded by glowing lanterns, warm ceremonial cacao, evocative music and soulful movement, we’ll make space to connect, and hear with more than our ears.

🎟️ Early Bird tickets
Available until October 28th - Purchase your ticket and receive one of the first copies of 📖 Living Soul-Side Out as a gift. 🎁 Buy 2 tickets, get 2 books.

📖 Read the stories ahead of time… then meet the women behind them in person at The Soul Speaks Event Saturday January 30th, 2027.

What if some of what we call “HEALING” needs TO BE QUESTIONED?

What if your body isn’t simply something to control, correct or override?

What if some of the patterns you’ve spent years trying to get rid of carry an intelligence?

What if relationship isn’t merely where our wounds get triggered—but one of the places transformation becomes possible?

What if self-trust isn’t something we need to build from scratch…
…but something we learn to hear again?

These are some of the questions woven through 📕Living Soul-Side Out: The Embodied Journey into Self-Trust and Relationships that Heal Us.

Before the book is published, I’m bringing together a small group of Early Readers to read the manuscript and explore what these questions awaken in their own lives.

Bring your curiosity. Bring your skepticism. Bring your lived experience.

That’s exactly the conversation I want.

📖 Women’s Pre-Release Book Club — now forming.

Comment or DM me “BOOK CLUB” if you’re curious.

Women often learn to confuse love with responsibility. And often, women become healers, coaches, nurses, and caregivers.

Our work can reinforce the idea that we are responsible for other people’s outcomes.

We’ve been taught that certain protocols should produce certain results: whether it’s a particular tapping method, supplement regimen, massage technique, or forgiveness practice.

When those results don’t come, we can find ourselves trying harder. Eventually, it becomes exhausting, and our care can disconnect us from ourselves.

Healthy relationships with those we care for allow space for compassion without carrying what isn’t ours to hold or “fix.”

Caring can be deeply connected without becoming caretaking.

At our next INside‑OWT™ Immersion weekend, November 7 & 8, we’ll explore caring through a body-led, soul-informed approach.

You’ll have space to notice where responsibility lives in your body and practise staying connected to yourself while caring for others.

Setting down the weight of responsibility for others’ feelings and outcomes, we become response-able: able to respond from a place of authentic care.

If this speaks to something you’re living, we’d love to have you with us.

So much of what women have learned to call belonging has actually required some form of adaptation.

Be agreeable.
Be capable.
Don’t be too much.
Don’t need too much.
Keep the peace.
Hold it together.
Read the room.
Take care of everyone else.

And eventually, we can become so skilled at belonging to the room that we lose contact with ourselves.

Living Soul-Side-OUT is an invitation to practice something different.

Not just self-awareness in isolation, but learning what happens when women begin bringing more of their real selves into relationship.

When we can say what is true.
Notice what is happening in our bodies.
Recognize when our nervous systems are taking over.
Repair when relationship gets messy.
Ask for what we need.
Hold boundaries without disconnecting.
And allow other women to be fully themselves, too.

This is why community is not simply an added feature of the Living Soul-Side-OUT Women’s Program. It is part of the curriculum.

Because belonging isn’t created by everyone getting along.

It grows when we no longer have to abandon ourselves in order to remain connected.

Belonging begins where pretending ends.

And perhaps that is part of what it means to live

If you want to explore nervous system regulation, honest connection, and what becomes possible when we learn to trust the intelligence within our bodies and the relational field between us—join us for an INside-OWT™ Immersion Weekend. Together, we create the conditions for deeper belonging, insight, and spontaneous healing.

Our next one is November 7th & 8th.

Understanding yourself matters. And many people discover that knowing why they react doesn’t automatically change how they show up when they’re hurt, triggered, disappointed, or in conflict.

Transformation happens when awareness moves beyond analyzing, predicting, explaining, and justifying...and into the living experience of relationship.

When we notice what’s happening within us while staying connected to what’s happening between us.

When awareness is practiced.
Not alone in reflection, but together in relationship.

Because relationships are where our patterns become visible.

And they’re also where healing, growth, and belonging become possible.
