Painters, writers, musicians, poets and creative souls, the Creative Atelier is the space for your creative process and self development.
A Studio for Creative Souls, the Atelier is an online studio space for creative exploration (*cough*permission) and self discovery!
What happens in the Creative Atelier?
First you should know Natalia's ethos + concept for this space.
It is a creative sanctuary. We need regular space for our creative nourishment; with people who understand this 'being creative'. This is a space that will encourage you to show up for your joy, and ask you to make small pockets of time for yourself.
It is a space intentionally away from the perils of social media. And is a space that attracts fabulous humans, and curious and kind souls. Many are beginners, and some are seasoned - all folk are welcome. We will help you!
Your art is yours. Your expression is unique, and this is a space that will encourage you to be more and more yourself. This is how your art (+life) spark into full bloom.
And honestly, the world needs more creatives shining bright.
So what actually happens in the Creative Atelier?
2 X MORNING FLIGHTS
Like Julia Camerons morning pages, these 30-minute ZOOM sessions (7:30am WAST) are self-led amongst kindred souls. Turn up with bed hair and coffee, and paint, write, draw. Connect with your inner world, play, relax and set yourself up for the day ahead. Engage as much or as little as you like - and if you need some direction, Natalia is there to support. What a blissful way to start the day, and keep you connected to the pulse of your creative flow.
2 X NIGHT FLIGHTS
Similar vein to Morning Flights, these happen at 7pm WAST. Bring your herbal teas, soft lighting and art materials and decompress from the day with a little creating or journalling. Do you have a night routine that includes Netflix and social media? This is your opportunity for something new. These gentle, self-led (but supported by Natalia if you hit a block) sessions are nourishing and calming. Gentle music tinkling in the background, Night Flights are like bedtime stories for adult creatives.
1 X SANCTUARY SESSION
A combination of art and heart, these ZOOM sessions have been treasured in the community as an opportunity to connect deeply within. Sometimes transformational tears are shed, other times laughs - you are sure to learn something about yourself, whilst being creative. *Natalia is also a Psychologist so her love for human thriving shows up in these sessions*
1 X SKILL SESSION
This is where we learn something new. Recent skill shares have been simple print making (with potatoes), and learning from the masters (copying and learning from artists we admire). The sessions are varied, and directed by interest from the group. This community lives for the community and is guided in many ways by the community. Also held on ZOOM.
EXTRA INFO
The flights aren't recorded, but the other sessions are; and made available to you for replay in a video library.
The Creative Atelier is also accessible via an app, which makes it much easier! And you get an email reminder for each session.
I'm curious to see what we can create here! The Creative Atelier is a living breathing creatura, emerging from the Fertile Void slowly.
