The Path of the Mystic Artist

Weave Your Healing and Evolution Into Your Art

12 months of Support to Bring Your Artistic Creation to Completion.

This course is for writers and artists passionate about the ultimate journey – surrendering not to what you want to create but what Spirit, God, the Tao, whatever you want to call it, wants to create through you.

The Modules

Access the Tao

Flow is the currency of the Mystical Artist. Learning how to reliably tap into it’s current and give into it’s guidance alleviates the need for you to ever know where you’re going, let alone how to get there. Because the Muse knows. She will guide your way, but only if you’re willing to surrender, and let her lead.

In this training you will learn how to enter flow, sustain it, and ritualize your return to it, so that every time you do, your ability to sync with Her will be carved ever deeper.

Learning to Access ta2. Render Your Psyche: the Good, the Bad, the Beautiful and the Ugly.he Energy

Your art is a rendering of your internal Psychic Structure. Make no mistake. Having worked with artists throughout my career, I have seen this first hand. As a lover of great literature it is also as clear as day. Whether Joyce, Nietzsche, Rilke, or Jung – who was a Mystical Artist in his own right – they all wove their traumas, inferiority complexes, inflations and aspirations into their art. The question is not *if* your art is going to be a reflection of your Psyche, but *what part* you are going to reflect, and most importantly, whether you are going to do so consciously.

Identify Your Myth

You may hear a million voices in your mind, but I guarantee that you are only two Over-Arching Symbols in your life and two Elemental Dynamics that you are living through day and night.

In this training you will learn to identify all this – the Light and Dark of your Archetype – and how to create in service to them.

Whether Theseus who stood up to Medusa, or Circe who stood up to her father, or Prometheus who stole fire to give to the humans. You are a myth and you have a destiny, a path that will either shackle you to a cliff or celebrate you with an apotheosis. When you know your archetypal purpose you can weave it into your every brushstroke.
