College of Conscious Living

College of Conscious Living Living consciously is about educating yourself and taking control of your life so that you may have a life that you purposely design.

This college teaches people how to understand the mind, recognize stress and express themselves through creative arts.

Hi. I’m Sanja.

Founder of the College of Conscious Living

I’m a qualified naturopath of 20+ years, a neurofeedback trainer, and a passionate facilitator of the Holistic Integrated Creative Arts Therapy (HICAT) course - created by Mind Body Education MBE.

In 2019, I became a certified training provider with MBE and launched the College so I could share this beautiful blend of healing, creativity, and soul-work with others.

My journey has taken me from herbal medicine to Theta Healing, from meditation teacher training to deep spiritual transformation. Each step has shaped how I support others, whether through art, intuition, nervous system regulation, or simply holding space.

What started as a desire to help others heal has become a calling to guide people back to themselves.

Welcome to my world.

🖤🐾 GRATITUDE POST 🐾🖤

As part of a gratitude activity in HICAT we are asked to choose one thing in our life we’re truly grateful for.

I didn’t have to think twice, meet Ruby, my sweet, sensitive, ever-so-precious sentient being.

I captured her spirit in this fun drawing, big green eyes, soft black fur, and a heart full of love.

She’s my fur-ever girl 🐈‍⬛

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

What’s something (or someone) you’re grateful for today?

Love Sanja and Ruby

Meet Ollie in all his fluffy, golden glory 💛

This isn’t about perfect proportions or realistic shadows.

This is about giving yourself permission.

Permission to play. To paint. To express. To make a mess. To make magic.

So often we hold ourselves back with “I’m not an artist” or “It’s not good enough.” But art isn’t about being “good.” It’s about being you.

Make the painting.
Do the doodle.
Grab the crayons.
Celebrate your creativity in all its quirky, beautiful, imperfect brilliance.

💛 Sanja & Ollie

The Art of Collage!

This collage piece was created on our HICAT graduation day, as myself and the class delved into the theme of our future selves.

The piece that emerged for me revealed that I am being guided by my spirit family, with one strong feminine presence and two masculine energies quietly surrounding and supporting me.

The central figure represents me — continuing to expand in creativity and expression. And the word beautiful came through as a gentle reassurance that the future continues to be beautiful in all ways.

Collage has a way of speaking the unknown, giving voice and vision to our inner truths, because they come straight from the soul.

A heartfelt congratulations to the beautiful group of students who just graduated from the Ormeau campus of the HICAT course - February to June 2025. 💛

What an incredible journey we’ve shared. Each of you came to this course with your own reasons, your own stories, and your own path and yet what unfolded was a deep and powerful connection that brought us all together. The room held such safety, encouragement, and openness. You held space for each other with so much care, and in doing so, created a container for real transformation.

This group wasn’t just about learning techniques, it became a space for healing, growth, and letting go of what no longer served us. I witnessed incredible courage as you each peeled back layers, explored your inner world, and made space for the new. And truthfully, I was right there with you. Being part of this group invited me into my own deep release and healing and for that, I am so grateful.

Thank you for the love, the laughter, the tears, the art, the breakthroughs and most of all, thank you for being you. It’s been an honour to walk this part of the journey with you.

Love and Gratitude

🌈 Intuitive Art in Action

I created this piece alongside my HICAT students in class.
I didn’t plan it.
I just started with a vision of a colourful grid and let each little box unfold naturally.
One by one, images came through - symbols, shapes, whatever wanted to appear.

It became a beautiful reminder that creative arts therapy isn’t about making perfect art.
It’s about:
✨ Being in the moment
✨ Letting intuition lead
✨ Trusting the process
✨ And allowing creativity to have a life of its own

This kind of art is a form of meditation, reflection, and joy. You really don’t need to know how to draw or paint, just let go and allow your creativity to flow.

Here’s our current intake of HICAT students at the Ormeau Community Centre. It’s not the full class (some students are missing), but it is full of love, support, and connection.

We have delved into so much theory to understand how the fight and flight response works, how our nervous system is impacted by stress and stored beliefs, and how we can change those beliefs into more empowering ones. We’ve also explored how to regulate ourselves using various creative modalities.

And this brings me to the creative side of HICAT. We have drawn, painted, sculpted, meditated, moved, danced, and so much more to integrate all the learnings and shift all that needed to be shifted.

I am beyond proud of the way these incredible souls have shown up, learnt new things, supported each other, and shaped themselves into who they are today - brave, strong, and ready for the new path life has to offer.

A huge thank you for trusting me to be your mentor and facilitator through this journey. My heart is full, and I see each of you as the bright beings you are!

So much love,
Sanja 🩷

So many people believe they need to be “good at art” to benefit from art therapy… but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

✅ FACT: Art therapy is about expression, not perfection.
It’s a process of connecting with your inner world, releasing emotion, and finding clarity, all through marks, shapes, colour, and texture. What you create doesn’t need to look a certain way to be meaningful. It doesn’t need to be tidy, polished, or even “finished.”

Yes, your art can be beautiful. It might even surprise you. But it’s the process, not the product, that holds the real power.

Whether you’re scribbling your frustration, blending colours that match your mood, or simply letting your hand move freely, you’re giving yourself permission to feel, to release, and to heal.

You don’t need art skills. You just need a willingness to show up as you are.

Brisbane HICAT Reunion 😊

On Saturday 14 June, I had the pleasure of hosting our Brisbane HICAT Reunion and what a beautiful day it was 💛

We gathered for an Abundance workshop, created art from the soul, shared openly, reconnected deeply, and held space for one another with such tenderness. 🎨

It was a day full of authentic expression, heartfelt conversations, warm embraces, and creative joy. Thank you to everyone who came along, your presence made it so special. 🥰

I always leave these days feeling incredibly grateful for this community. 🙏
