Nectar: Sweet musings for your creative soul

Join me in my first creative check in where I get to share more behind the scenes about where I am in my process and offer some ways you can reflect on your process too. Our creative journeys have their own seasons and each one is important. Take a moment to pause and tune into not only to where you are but also to how far you've come.

Water is one of the most powerful materials we can work with in our creative process.It carries ancient information, connects all of us to each other, and is here to support us. In this video you’ll get a chance to tune into the energy of water as an art medium and a personal guide as you discover what message the water has for you. We’ll create a piece of art with water from a local source such as a well, a nearby lake, or even rain water. Grab some water, your watercolors, and any other water based mediums calling you and follow along. This video was part of a community call I held to honor water…be sure to watch it until the end to see some of the art people from our community created on the live call.💫 Click here to follow along on the bloghttps://www.staceymaney.com/post/the-heart-of-water-replay🌎 Check out the Great Mother Love Way organization here:https://www.greatmotherlove.earth/🎵 Go to the Water inspired playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1Xm6Maez9DXfSqd29Rwyhg?si=279903cf138f4037

It was a living prayer. A remembering. A collective act of love.By the end of this episode, you’ll be able to connect into the energy of this event, hear how what the march is shifting within me, and the one question the Great Mother is asking all of us at this time.
