 Art CeremonyImmerse yourself in the realm of creativity and explore Art as a spiritual practice at our Art Ceremony on Jan 21st, from 1-5 pm, hosted at Center Street Retreat in Altamonte, Florida. Join fellow artists for a 4-hour immersive exploration—a perfect blend of self-indulgence and concentrated creative focus.
What is Art Ceremony? Art Ceremony is a gathering of intentional artists coming together to create artwork as a spiritual practice, weaving community prayers. When the community collectively gathers and enters a "Flow State," we tap into the group's collective consciousness, enhancing and amplifying our prayers and visions. The theme for this ceremony is "Fire." Your host, Veronika, guides you on a safe and profound journey to gain insights and delve deeper into your artwork and self by blending traditions of Visionary Art, mysticism, and Red Road practices. Find out more on the Eventbrite link here! Very excited to have been a featured artist on the next Military Makeover show with Montel Williams! I traveled to St. Pete in March to work on a 4 year olds' room for a week, creating an immersive forest vibe! It was a lot of fun creating with this crew and meeting all the contractors and show staff. They crammed in a lot of work in like 7 days and in some of the time lapse videos I captured during my time there, you can really see all the traffic coming in and out of my room while I was trying to paint. Luckily I was pretty flexible and worked evenings to avoid a lot of the heavy traffic. The family seemed really happy with it, so I am excited to see it on TV. Stay tuned for the final reveal!    Just finished this piece! It's been in my studio since 2021 and I patiently let the painting tell me what it wanted and intuitively let it develop over the course of 2 years. I didn't have to meet any sort of deadline, so I could take my time and practice studying roses by painting them! I also love rose flower essences, and drinking rose tea, using it in smoking blends, steams, temezcals, rose water- All this Rose medicine, yes please. . I am really coming into the appreciation of this Flower medicine and how to use it to raise my vibration and use it for healing. This large painting entitled, "High Vibrations," 48"x56", celebrations the vibrational medicine of Roses. Featuring bright pink detailed Roses and doves flying high in the sky encircling a light portal. This painting has traveled all over the United states, absorbing energies at ceremonies, retreats, events and even a Lizzy Jeff show! I finished this piece by infusing it with Reiki, cleansing it with Copal, Palo Santo and blessed it up with Agua de Florida and my Rose Essence sprays. It smells like a flowery dream and invokes a deep inner sense of hope and peace. I would love to see this piece in a healing center, meditation or spiritual retreat venue. This painting needs a magical home! Free Shipping in the United States is included, however painting will be removed from the stretch canvas and rolled into a tube for shipping along with Stretcher bars separately.

We created 5 illustrations, featuring sacred medicines- mushrooms, Bufo, Ayahuasca and Ibogaine. All have shown great success in the treatment of depression, addiction and ptsd in Vets.
