Active Kreative

13/12/2025

This weekend’s Art Therapy workshop reminded us of something simple and powerful:
when the nervous system feels safe, creativity flows — and clarity follows.

Through breathwork, bilateral drawing, collage, and gentle reflection, the space became a container for:
🌱 emotional release
🌱 grounding
🌱 softening
🌱 remembering ourselves

Participants shared that they felt emotionally lighter, calmer, inspired, and even like they’d had a “spiritual nap.”
No fixing. No pressure. Just being, creating, and being witnessed.

This is why I do this work.
This is Active Kreative.

And this is exactly the energy we’re carrying forward into 2026 🌿

If your body is craving stillness, creativity, and nature — you’re invited to enter the field with us.

If you’re entering 2026 feeling tired of trying,
tired of fixing, tired of holding yourself together with willpower and “I’ll be fine,”
this is for you.
If you’re done pouring your time, money, and heart
into practices that soothe but don’t shift
if you’re done running on the healing hamster wheel…
I see you.
Because you’re not failing. You’re not broken. You’re not “too much.” You’re simply disconnected from your map.
From the part of you that knows where you’re going.
From the part of you that remembers who you are.
2026 is not another year.
A beginning of a new 9-year cycle.
A moment where your life finally asks:
“Will you choose your path… or keep walking the one that was chosen for you?”
And if you’re ready to stop wandering,
ready to feel grounded again,
ready to create instead of cope,
ready to step into your next chapter with truth and clarity
I’ve built a space for you.
Not therapy.
Not manifestation. Not another mindset formula.

A creative, somatic recalibration field
and a living map of your becoming.

A place where your nervous system softens,
your soul speaks, your human self feels held again. A place to find your compass.
A place to remember your path.
A place to return to yourself.
This is The Atlas Creative Circle.
Online + Melbourne In-Person.

If you feel the pull,
DM ATLAS and I’ll send you the details.

2026 is calling.
Your path is waiting for you to walk it.

When we engage in Active practice — movement, gesture, breath, sensory expression — something profound begins to shift inside us.

It is more than “being busy.”
It is the ancient meaning of agere: to activate, to energize, to bring into existence.

Here’s what happens within you when you become Active:
• Your energy awakens, moving from stagnation into flow.
• Your body re-engages, restoring presence, vitality, and aliveness.
• Your nervous system regulates through movement, releasing tension safely.
• Your inner agency strengthens, reminding you that you can act, choose, and move.
• Your emotions find pathways outward, transforming from pressure into expression.
• Your inner world begins to reorganize, because action turns potential into reality.

This is where Active meets Kreative.

Active is the ignition —
Kreative is the emergence.

Together in the Active Kreative Approach, they form a bridge between your inner and outer worlds, allowing what is felt, imagined, or hidden to become visible, embodied, and transformed.

In this way:

Activation becomes healing.
Expression becomes transformation.
Creativity becomes emergence.

Today we close a powerful 9-week journey — The Mirror Field.

Over these weeks we:
✨ Met parts of ourselves we had forgotten
✨ Practiced witnessing without fixing or judging
✨ Reconnected to our inner child, nature & embodied truth
✨ Created masks, vessels, mandalas, circles & stories
✨ Learned to hold space for ourselves and each other

This group showed remarkable courage — stepping into vulnerability, presence, and creativity with open hearts.

Thank you for co-creating a field where everyone could be seen, held, and honoured exactly as they are.
This is the kind of space that transforms us — quietly, deeply, and for good.

The journey may complete today, but the integration continues.

Here’s to reflection, becoming, and the beauty of being witnessed.
✨ You don’t just witness change — you become the change.

I remember sitting on the floor among boxes,
moving my life from the old space into the new,
and feeling nothing.
My body had become a machine - lifting, packing, carrying, but not felt...
For so long I tried to think my way through pain - mentally strong, emotionally disciplined,
numb in the places that needed softness.
But healing demanded something else: to feel with my whole body. To let the chest shake, to let the belly breathe again, to let the hands express what the voice couldn’t name.
This is why, inside our Active Kreative workshops,
we don’t just talk - we touch, we hug, we breathe,
we use the full body as the instrument of healing.
We shake, we ground, we release through movement,
we soften through connection.
We create with the whole self - skin, breath, lungs, heart, hands. Because healing isn’t cognitive.
It’s somatic. It lives in the flesh.
I began to hear my body’s stories , ones words could never reach.
🜂 The body doesn’t need fixing.
It needs witnessing.
It needs feeling.
It needs you.

△ The body is the first canvas of truth.

Over the past six weeks, our Creative Circle has been immersed in The Mirror Field — a structured yet deeply intuitive process that blends art therapy, somatic psychology, sacred geometry, and reflective witnessing. The work has unfolded in layers, mirroring the alchemical path from shadow toward clarity and coherence. 🌟Week 1 opened with Louise Hay–inspired mirror work.
Week 2 explored shadow and identity through mask-making.
Week 3 softened into clarity with inner-child visualisation and letter writing.
Week 4 invited belonging through nature weaving and grounding with the earth.
Week 5 opened into wholeness using intuitive collage and meditative circle drawing.
Week 6 deepened into self-witnessing with an IFS-inspired two-chair dialogue — held in silence, without fixing — followed by a powerful closing ritual where participants “paint-hugged” one another, leaving marks of presence, connection, and shared humanity.

Across these weeks, we worked with:
• mirror rituals
• breathwork + somatic grounding
• collage, masks, bilateral drawing
• nature-based art
• sacred geometry + circle meditation
• IFS witnessing + embodied mark-making
What’s emerging is profound: self-recognition, nervous system softening, emotional clarity, and the quiet return of one’s true voice.

We are only halfway. The field is still unfolding. ✨

Today, my brother turns 40.
And I have not seen him since 2016 — the year he baptised my son.
My son turns 10 this year.
My daughter was born during a war.
He has never held her.
I have never watched him age into the hero he has become.
We have lived years apart because of war — because life scattered our family across borders we never asked for...
The older we become, the more valuable it is to age together. When you’re children, siblings are your world — your adventure team, your rival, your safety.
When you’re teenagers, they become your first true relationship — not romantic, but emotional, raw, brutally honest.
And when you grow up, have your own family, build your own life… your sibling becomes a part of you no one else has access to.

Because they are the only ones who know who you were before the world told you who to be.

War took years from us that we will never get back.

So today, братик, I honour you.
I honour your 40 years — your journey, your strength, your life.
I honour the boy you were and the hero you became.

One day, I will hug you again.
Happy Birthday, my brother.
No matter the distance,
no matter the years,
you are my family — my closest mirror in this life.
And that will never change. 💛
