We are all Cosmic Sparks, children of the Cosmos. The whole Universe is infinite, conscious Energy and this is our source, our home.
How do you imagine your cosmic home? How could you paint it? As a portal? A shining perfect star? Maybe you would express the vision of the infinite Universe as a symbol?
During painting, I will guide you if you would like to, and will give you professional advice on how to paint and draw. The artwork will be yours to keep and your memory from the workshop.

Monthly Shamanic Circle with Giada from Invisible Caims
The mood of our Monthly Shamanic Circles at the Art and Spirituality Centre in Gorgie, Edinburgh is powerful, dynamic, charming, funny, artistic and relaxing.
The theme of December will be the key to everything: learning to cultivate FAITH. Not in something, not in someone.
We will learn practical shamanic rituals that can help us tremendously in adopting a new method of thinking. You will be able to untie the knots of unconscious self-boycott and you will not be able to do anymore those things in which you do not truly believe.
We need a new method of thinking capable of projecting us into a future in which we can rediscover man’s ancient, primitive capacity for faith. A natural, wild, free faith, is a continuous drive to go beyond oneself and what the mind claims to know, it is a faculty capable of leading to full self-realisation. In a society where easy answers are everywhere, just type in the question, it is difficult to remain face to face with mystery and imagination, which are the true gyms of faith, self-confidence and inner strength.
Those who, in these conditions, manage to cultivate the power of faith have great possibilities and can make an effective contribution to the world.
Expect Japanese Rituals from the Yamabushi Shamans oBe ready to take a shamanic journey accompanied by Giada’s drumming and be in touch with your spirits allies to ask questions for which you need guidance.

If we Winter well, we can Summer anywhere.

Find your Ikigai, your passion and purpose in life
with Giada from Invisible Caims
Some people are lucky to find a job that corresponds to their true passion, to their soul mission. But there are a lot of people that do not have such a privilege, as they need to take jobs they do not resonate with their own hearts, simply to support their living costs. And this has a big impact on their mental health and well-being conditions. Some other people cannot instead find the courage for such a big change.
If you are one of them, the Japanese people from the island of Okinawa have a word for you: Ikigai. It’s your “reason for being”, the mission of your soul that you can only understand with your Heart, not with your Mind.
To find your Ikigai, you need energy, skills and gifts from your ancestors.
During this workshop together, we will start with a Japanese shamanic ritual to set this powerful intention. You will then visualize your fears and blocks and write on some paper that will go inside your bowl. With full awareness, you will firmly and safely break your pottery and with the help of others, you will purify the space around you and inside yourself with an incense.
It will be now time to easily repair your pottery with gold through a modern reinterpretation of the art of kintsugi, that teaches that broken objects are not something to hide but to display with pride. This is the essence of resilience: the present situation that blocks you from joining your passions should be taken in their positive aspect of imperfection, according to the Wabi Sabi philosophy.
While repairing your unique piece in a very easy way, I will share with you more of what I’ve learnt through my Shamanic teacher about the Japanese Aesthetics principles of the Wabi Sabi and the Ikigai.
To reach your ikigai, you need skills, talents and energy that are already inside yourself, just waiting to be unveiled.
This will be a beatiful taster of a journey that requires time and that I normally start, as a qualified Ikigai Coach, with those people that are willing to dig inside their hearts to discover what is their true song this life.
What to take with you:
*a bowl of medium size, not too thin, not too thick
*your own mat or we have them here too
The rest of the material will be provided
