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.

Last weekend I had my beautiful friend come and stay with me - the creative mind behind puddleverse.

Her concept is simple and brilliant: take an ordinary puddle shape and transform it into a Puddle Monstar; a curious little being with personality, expression and its own story. I genuinely recommend following her Puddle Monstar creations.

While she was here, I created these two puddle creatures. Interestingly, a theme emerged - frequency and vibration.
Swirls, waves, movement.
It wasn’t planned, but it felt completely aligned.

It became a quiet confirmation of how important it is to nurture and elevate our own vibrational frequency. The energy we hold will always find a way to express itself, sometimes through art before we even consciously realise it.

“Art is a line around your thoughts!”
Gustav Klimt

This quote is a great match for the image below. Outlining the fingers of my hand giving expression to my thoughts.

There’s a power, a wisdom in the palm of my hands. I am the beholder of it as is each person the beholder of their own powerful wisdom.

Art can be simple and yet so effective for self expression and doesn’t need to be perfect.

Sanja 👏👏👏👏

What art therapy has done for me!

It gave me permission to create without needing it to be perfect.
And in doing that… it slowly loosened the grip of perfectionism that I was carrying.

It gave big, heavy feelings somewhere to land when words just weren’t enough.
Some things don’t want to be talked through, they want to be moved through.

It can help me feel regulated.
As I paint or draw, my nervous system settles. Thoughts and emotions process quietly, without needing to explain themselves.

And then, after… I can talk (if I need too).

I can look at what I’ve created and suddenly there’s clarity and or insights.

It’s also been one of the ways I connect spiritually.
Intuition cant show up while overthinking. Creativity makes space for it and flows through me.

I love that there No rules in art and this type of self expression. Just honesty, colour, and a place to breathe.

This is why I trust art so deeply, it’s always met me exactly where I’m at.

I hope art is a similar experience for you too!

There are moments in this work that can’t be taught, only lived, and this is one of them!

I don’t just teach or facilitate the courses I offer. I live and breathe the work.

I engage in every activity, project, and process alongside my students. I move through the same processes, sometimes more intensely, sometimes more gently but always honestly.

I experience:
Confrontation,
Excitement,
Resistance,
Emotional purging,
Transformation.

This body painting activity from the Master Practitioner of Holistic Art Therapy was unlike anything I’ve personally experienced before.

I had to make the paint and then applied it directly to my body, intuitively and without a plan.

That’s when the large flower emerged on my chest; a clear, undeniable symbol of a healed heart. From there, it rose upward, covering my face me in strong, vibrant colours.

I loved this activity.
And I loved everything it revealed, shifted, and gave back to me.

This is the work.
And I don’t ask anyone to walk it unless I’m willing to walk it too.

Spiritual Art!

Spiritual art, to me, begins with stillness; soft, soul-soothing music, a calm body, and an open heart.

I listen and I invite God, Source, divine wisdom to guide me.

There’s no forcing, no planning, no striving to create something “good.”
It’s about listening and feeling what spirit is whispering, and trusting the process.

This painting emerged as an ancient water vessel holding sacred water.
The lid open.
The water flowing freely.

To me, it speaks of divine wisdom being poured out, shared, and made available to all.

Spiritual art isn’t about the finished piece.
It’s about allowing divinity to move through you, onto the page, and into the world.

Sometimes the art teaches us more than words ever could.

Get to know your brain! 🧠✨

When we understand how the brain works, our reactions start to make sense, especially after stress or trauma.
Being trauma-informed isn’t about labels or diagnoses; it’s about compassion, awareness, and working with the nervous system instead of against it.

Knowledge creates safety, choice, and empowerment, for ourselves and for those we support.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays 🎄

This time of year is a gentle reminder of what truly matters; connection, kindness, presence (and presents 😝), and love in all its forms.

Whether you’re celebrating Christmas, the festive season, or simply taking a moment to pause and reflect, I’m wishing you peace, warmth, and moments that soften your heart.

May the days ahead be filled with light, laughter, rest, and the simple joy of being exactly where you are.

With gratitude and warm wishes for the festive season and the year ahead!

See you in 2026!

Love Sanja, Ruby 🐈‍⬛, and Ollie 🐶 (and Santa too!! 😉)

Appreciation Post!

There’s something deeply humbling about being seen and acknowledged as a business.

Attending the InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort’s corporate Christmas dinner and finding this place card waiting for us was one of those quiet moments that landed with deep gratitude and appreciation. A small gesture, yes, but one that carried recognition, respect, and a genuine sense of belonging.

Building a heart-led business isn’t always loud or visible. Sometimes it looks like this: meaningful conversation, thoughtful hospitality, and a seat at the table among others.

2025 has been a very special year, and I’m deeply grateful for where this journey continues to unfold.

Thank you for such a beautiful and celebratory evening, we truly had a wonderful time.
