Instead of a traditional mission statement, I hold a prayer.

My prayer is to support our inner imprint to become coherent with our original blueprint.

I am committed to support the healing and flourishing of artists and womxn in service to our collective liberation, placing life at the center of our altar

IMAGINALIA BRINGS TOGETHER

A collective of transformational artists, community catalysts, storytellers and guides called to heal a broken culture.

While we come from different worlds and carry distinct gifts, we all share two things in common: we are the connective tissue within our respective communities and we share a vision for a whole and healed humanity. 

We are conveners, community builders, facilitators, healers, entrepreneurs, storytellers, activists, artists, producers, designers, organizers (and yes, so much more!). Many of us have catalyzed social movements and transformative initiatives. Many of us have been tending to our inner landscape and patiently incubating visions.

Deep down, we feel more than most. We are misfits, wounded healers and tricksters, maladjusted in a broken world. We are multidimensional in nature. The keepers of the Soul and all that makes us human. Sometimes we succomb to the weight and contradictions we carry. On our best days, we are beautiful trouble makers. And when thick clouds hover above us for a moment or a season, existential doubts and anxiety become our most intimate friend. Wild visions we don’t want to deny call our hearts and move us on our knees. And for all of that, we need each other. There is such power in becoming each other’s sacred mirror. Midwife. Friends. So we can re-member who we are. Experience the healing and empowering gift of safe and trusted companionship. And ultimately, trust the symbiotic gift of our evolutionary nature as we walk together through the fire with dignity, courage and love.

Imagine what is possible when we come together with a shared commitment to support one another in rebirthing the most authentic and impactful version of ourselves. Not only do we set the conditions to become more bold, prosperous, joyous,  and impactful leaders, but we also get to experience ourselves as part of a symbiotic ecosystem.  

Imaginalia invites us to step into a mythos that meets these times -

one that is rooted in trust, belonging, imagination & wellbeing.

IMAGINALIA CULTIVATES 

Imaginalia cultivates fertile ground for community learning, healing, and exchange. By sharing perspectives, practices & rituals with one another, we get to deepen our self-knowledge, expand self-awareness and nurture meaningful relationships.  

Ultimately, we become an unstoppable collective force for good. 

OUR APPROACH

Imaginalia’s somatic and mindfulness-based approach is my response to the questions:

What does it take to call ourselves home in our bodies and reclaim our most authentic creative healing power?

How does healing from trauma, the sense of belonging, creativity, and beauty connect?

What wants to be created authentically through me as I feel more whole, embodied, deepen my root system, and surrender to the vast creative power of the Great Mystery.

What is the most life-giving context in which womxn and artists can heal, grow and create from authentically - alone and together?

MY STORY

I walked so many years trying to be someone I wasn’t. While I was driven by passion and experienced my share of success in my teens and twenties, I was dabbling in a garden that didn’t suit my authentic constitution and paid the price for it.

Seldom, did my gentle essence, deeply feminine at its core, felt safe and fully supported in opening to its authentic wholesome essence. Don’t be fooled. I appeared as strong, fierce and unstoppable. While I held the capacity to withstand all storms, I wasn’t living in my body.

I yearn for as long as I could remember to find suitable garden in which I could flourish like a wild flower and fun free.

Meanwhile, I overode inner cues a thousand times and rejected parts of myself without realizing it. I sought to fit outdated systems, meet cultural conditioning and took on beliefs and values that were not my own. I was, like millions of us, the product of a colonized mind.

I pushed myself to make things happen on my terms (my ego), when my being needed to slow down, digest and listen. I compromised my sense of wellbeing and grounding for the sake of realizing big dreams and goals, let alone meet demand and expectations. My story is millions of people’s story. So many people, especially women, with remarkable potential are feeling lost and searching for their way home where soul, regeneration, prosperity and wholeness meet.

The journey home often involves a slow and patient healing process experiencing painful chronic conditions, including examining the uniqueness of our original blueprint and what’s needed to heal painful imprints.

The cost on the physical body and mind would become too high to deny and override. For many, life has become a journey to understand what is means to live in ways that are energetically nourishing, soul, taxing on the nervous system and suffocating for the sake of surviving.

THE REMEDY

With great relief, I have found contexts, practices, and support systems that have been deeply healing, empowering, and opening to a vast world of creative healing power rooted in belonging.

WHY IMAGINALIA?

In the midst of ecological, social, economic & political unravelling, life is calling forth a way of being that is heart, soul and ecocentric.

As creative healers and transformational artists we carry unique perspectives, a relational sensibility and intuitive gifts that have always been vital to human flourishing. Although we have historically been undermined, undervalued and even persecuted, we know the critical role we play in turning the tide towards a beautiful future for all.

It is time we come together and own who we really are.  It is time we trust ourselves to bring our potent voices, wisdom, imagination, and creativity to the forefront. 

We see ourselves as part of an emerging wave of community leaders who have the power to redefine how we live, care for one another, educate our children and harness creative expression.

THE ROOTS OF OUR NAME: IMAGINALIA

“ To better understand the opportunity hidden in today’s crisis, consider the tale of another world in transition. Imagine you are a single cell among millions that comprise a growing caterpillar. The structure around you has been operating like a well-oiled machine, and the larva world has been creeping along predictably. Then one day, the machine begins to shudder and shake. The system begins to fail. Cells begin to commit suicide. There is a sense of darkness and impending doom.

From within the dying population, a new breed of cells begins to emerge, called imaginal cells (aka YOU!). Clustering in community, they devise a plan to create something entirely new from the wreckage. Out of the decay arises a great flying machine—a butterfly—that enables the survivor cells to escape from the ashes and experience a beautiful world, far beyond imagination. Here is the amazing thing: the caterpillar and the butterfly have the exact same DNA. They are the same organism, but are receiving and responding to different organizing signals.

That is where we are today. When we read the newspaper and watch the evening news, we see the media reporting a decaying caterpillar world. And yet everywhere, you and other human imaginal cells are awakening to a new possibility. We are clustering, communicating, and tuning into a new, coherent signal of love.”

  - Bruce Lipton, Biologist

Imaginalia is born to support this organic self-organizing phenomenon that calls the Imaginal Cells into rising up to meet these extraordinary times.
