Artist Mentorship and Creative Workshops in and Around Toronto, Ontario
ONE-on-ONE artful mentorship
A one-on-one mentorship session is a return to your creative fire.
Together, we clear what’s in the way and tend to what wants to come alive!
What we’ll work with:
Primarily conversation, with the option to bring in drawing, writing, collage, art journaling, photography, stitching—whatever lights you up and opens the door.
This is for you if:
• you feel stuck, scattered, or in transition
• you know there’s something in you waiting to be expressed
• you move further, and more honestly, when accompanied
• you want momentum that feels like curiosity and play, not pressure
✨ Let’s book a playdate. ✨
Workshops For circle makers, retreat leaders, team builders
ART-JOURNALING WORKSHOPS
These workshops offer participants a gentle place to slow down, listen inward, and visually or symbolically record what is unfolding. Through guided art-journaling prompts, simple rituals, and intuitive mark-making, participants create a meaningful record of their experience and discover practices they can return to on repeat.
These sessions help participants:
- keep a creative record of key insights as they emerge
- be in creative dialogue with themselves
- integrate breakthroughs and highlight epiphanies
- start a beautiful journal that becomes a keepsake and a constant invitation
Perfect as a grounding morning practice, a reflective afternoon session, or an integration activity as part of a retreat or other programming. No experience needed—just curiousity.
I would love to create something meaningful together. Reach out to explore how art-journaling can serve your group.
THE INWORD EXPERIENCE
wORd ALchemy for the Self
A Collaborative Workshop with Marina Dempster + Danette Relic (Artist, Author, Coach and The Soft Shoulder Podcast Host)
INWORD is an interactive workshop that blends creative writing and art-journaling to explore the alchemical potential of every day words.
This experience uses the INWORD oracle deck as a catalyst for expanded awareness, creativity and connection.
Through fun wordplay and guided reflection, participants find shifts in perspective and access fresh ways of navigating their inner world and outer worlds.
What to expect:
- Word-Based Prompts & Playful Games
– Lighthearted exercises that spark insight and connection - Guided Journaling & Creative Mark-Making
– Expressive practices that honour both the verbal and visual - Group Reflection
– Shared discoveries that deepen connection and collective wisdom
The session moves fluidly between quiet introspection and lively exchange—spacious enough for personal breakthroughs, dynamic enough for authentic group bonds to form.
Perfect for:
- Retreats focused on personal transformation or storytelling
- Gatherings centred on creativity, self-inquiry, or inner leadership
- Groups seeking meaningful connection through shared creative practice
Bring the INWORD Experience to your retreat or gathering.
