Stella for the Soul - Art for Heart and Home

04/09/2025

💛 Life changes us. But within every transition lies a chance to reconnect with who we really are.

The Art & Soul Series is a 5-week online journey for women who feel that pull to pause, reflect, and rediscover themselves through creativity.

🌸 Important to know:
While the workshops may have a therapeutic effect, this is not art therapy and I am not a therapist.
We will use intuitive painting, journaling, and gentle meditation as simple tools for self-awareness and connection.
There is no analysis or interpretation of your art. This is a safe space to explore and connect with your own inner wisdom.

This journey is for mothers and for women in transition.
It is for anyone who wants to explore their inner world, deepen self-understanding, and grow into their best version for themselves and the people they love.

🌿 What you can expect:
🎨 Intuitive painting and creative journaling
🧘‍♀️ Gentle meditation and reflection
🤝 A small, supportive group with a maximum of five participants

💛 Five creative themes:
• The River Within
• Roots and Wings
• Seasons of Me
• The Safe Space
• Becoming

📅 Choose your group:
Mondays | Sept 22, 29, Oct 6, 13, 20 | 9:30–11:00 CEST
Fridays | Sept 26, Oct 3, 10, 17, 24 | 9:30–11:00 CEST

💶 1480 CZK / 60 EUR for the full series
✨ The Monday group is almost full

📩 To join, email stellahartlova@gmail.com and let me know which group you would like to attend.

A place to breathe, paint, and remember yourself. 🌿

Some days, the weight of motherhood is invisible.
But your body feels it.
Your nervous system stores it.

And here’s what research shows:
🧠 Just 45 minutes of creative activity can lower cortisol levels (your stress hormone).
But many people feel a shift after just 5 minutes.

That’s why I offer creative self-care workshops for mothers — spaces to pause, paint, reflect, and reconnect.
Not to make something “beautiful.”
But to feel more like yourself again.

No experience needed. No perfect setup.
Just an invitation to come home to yourself.

🖌️ Begin with just a few minutes.
You’ll find a free 5-Minute Creative Recharge at the link in my bio.
Or simply comment CALM below, and I’ll send you the link.

It’s not the same as being in the workshop.
But it shares the same intention,
to give mothers a little space to return to themselves.

I was so moved to receive this beautiful feedback after a recent 'Inner Flame' workshop. It truly says it all, really. ✨
Anna shared in my feedback questionnaire: 'During meditation I felt that I was connected to myself deeply I felt peace and silence of my mind. And during intuitive painting I felt a moment of liberation from my conditioning, I was letting myself free, I allowed myself to cross the borders and I have got feeling that I deserve more in my life, God loves me, and I can choose any color I like to paint my own life. This world created for my joy. At the end I felt I should love myself deeply like the God does. Thank you for transformative experience. Wish much more people discover "Inner flame" 🙏'
This is exactly why I offer those sanctuaries. It's an honour to witness the impact and transformation of peace, liberation, and self-love. Thank you, Anna, for sharing your light.

Sometimes meditations don't involve closing our eyes, but opening them to a blank page. A simple check-in with just a few colours or lines can be a deeply meditative way of listening to ourselves. This is an invitation to find 10 minutes for a moment like this sometime this week. It's surprising what can surface in that quiet, creative space. Would be happy if you share what comes up 🫶 Have a lovely week everyone!

I just wrote a new blog post about why I create the sketches I do. It all started with a simple moment with my daughter that made me see things differently. 💛

Explore the story behind the sketch and how my personalised meaningful moment sketches capture the essence of everyday life and connections.
