I finished her (I think) a few weeks ago. She's turned out to be another iteration of Sophia. Sophia, wisdom, spark of light trapped in matter. She who undergoes trials of transformation back into liberated spirit. To merge again with star self. The fallen. The redeemed. The Emanation. She was birthed during the women's march....hmmm....

Sprung. Past of spring.
Spring. Sprang. Sprung. -

To spring to dart to leap suddenly
To grow
To issue by birth or descent
To come into being
To undergo splitting or cracking
Like a vessel that's sprung a leak
Leading to the need for repair
Kintsugi

Healing the earth is healing the Self. The earth's body and our bodies are macro / micro reflections of one another. The Web if life is intrinsically, inseparably linked. When we respect the earth, we respect ourselves and our place on the earth.
This is the altar from last week's Earth circle. Connecting with each other, with our own bodies, and with the immense, abundant, profoundly complex body of the earth. With intentions of healing, balancing and restoring a loving connection within and without.

The altar from Sunday's women's circle with Mama Earth in the center. The candles represent each woman's soul spark illuminating the world with intelligence, strength, compassion, beauty, wisdom, love... So blessed to get to work with amazing women doing sacred, community centered soul work.
We are changing the world every time we come together with our open hearts, tears, laughter, intentions and prayers. Believe it!

Be aware of what you put into the collective unconscious and feed. Watch what you take in from the collective unconscious and entertain within you.

Today, rise to love the "enemies" without and within. http://www.alembicarts.com/blog/

During the season of reflection, I'm returning to a favorite book from grad school. If you're interested in the transformation of soul, I recommend it. But warning, it's not a quick, easy read. It's dense. It's Jungian.

Instead of a tree, this year, our holiday center piece is my altar from the last women's circle. It's a Crown Chakra Christmas. Why not?

Burning the Yule log for Winter Solstice. Entering the stillness, the silence. Going within and tending the soul spark. Honoring the natural cycles.

Coming together in sacred circle with prayers of personal, cultural and planetary healing. Holding light and shadow, connecting in ways raw and real. Painting intentions of hope and peace. Magic happens when women come together with collective grief and inspiration and move it out into form.

Ancestor crystals, gifted to me by a powerful family member, healer, and walker between worlds, when I was 19 years old. These babies are incredibly powerful and I've begun carrying them with me every where in these wild changing times, even though they're fairly large and heavy. They want to be out in the world sending healing vibes beyond the sanctuary of my home. When the crystals speak, I listen.

I'm honored that the Santa Rosa Peace & Justice Center has invited me to show 20 years of paintings at their center during the SOFA Winterblast, this Saturday, Nov. 19, 5-9:30. Many of the works I'll be hanging haven't been shown since the 90s! (Including the one on the attached flyer). If you're in the area, it's a fun event with open studios, music, food, drink, performances and the sofa parade. http://sofasantarosa.com/events/winterblast/ http://www.peaceandjusticesonomaco.org/ http://www.tinaazaria.com/

My little magic box! Made at one of my women's circles. For the altar for wishes, dreams, intentions, secrets, fortunes, visions, manifestation and concretizing them into form...

Integrating the layers of experience, time, life, psyche...not always easy, but made easier with art, creative play, creative expression.

I love this simple reminder that there's a lot more going on than meets the eye.

Reiki Level I Training & Certification Oct 15, 2016. http://www.alembicarts.com/reiki-trainings/ Reiki is a Japanese form of hands-on healing that involves enhancing the body's natural ability to heal itself through the transfer of energy (Chi, Ki or Qi). Reiki has several basic effects: it brings about deep relaxation, clears energy blockages, detoxifies the system, provides new levels of energy and vitality, and raises the body's vibrational frequency.
