About the session
- How to bypass your analytical mind to access deeper creative wisdom and spiritual guidance. This playful "sacred weirdness" approach helps you move past overthinking and connect with your authentic artistic voice.
- Why engaging both left and right brain creates more powerful creative breakthroughs than trying to silence your logical mind. You'll understand how to give each part of your brain a specific role so they work together harmoniously.
- How visual symbols and personal mythology become your unique artistic language. This approach shifts focus from technical skill to discovering the deeper "why" behind your creative expression.
- The practice of sacred pauses to slow down time and find meaning in everyday moments. These intentional breaks between tasks can transform anxiety into presence and help you experience each day more fully.
Robyn will guide you in a simple magazine collage technique that reveals hidden emotions and unresolved experiences. By trusting your subconscious to guide your image selection, you'll discover what needs healing and receive gentle permission to release old fears.

Where are we? Why are we here? In her quest for understanding, she has studied and worked as an Artaeomythologist for the past 30 years, teaching at the Smithsonian Institutions and the Corcoran Galleries. She has combined her archaeological adventures and knowledge of historical symbols and icons to formulate theoretical research in the areas of human consciousness.Her field research and museum experience have deepened her spiritual insights, expanding her perception and innerstanding.
