MICHAEL & THE DRAGON MASTERCLASS www.KristenaWestArt.com Esoteric, Shamanic & Therapeutic Art: Creating art with a deity or in this case Michael the archangel, is can be as deep as your intention of merging sacred and artistic practices. Art can be an act of devotion, a bridge between the seen and unseen worlds. Through the creation of our icons, inner work, and the wisdom of the mystery traditions, we can approach the divine as co-creators.

Esoteric Dreamwork: Your Gateway to Infinite Creativity and Life Transformation

Kristena introduces the treasures behind Esoteric or the "hidden" Mystery Wisdom inherent in the ancient art of dreamwork. In the realm of esoteric practices, dreamwork can give us glimpses of our future or karma. Kristena shares a painting inspired by a dream she had when a teenager and explores the precognitive aspects and how the definitions of the dream-painting kept unpacking over time, revealing the relevance only 25 years later! Just as the alchemist seeks to transmute base metals into precious ones, practitioners of esoteric dreamwork delve into their dreams to uncover untapped creative potential. Everyone can access a wellspring of inspiration that transcends the limitations of waking thought, allowing for a profound expansion of both artistic expression and self-awareness. Moreover, esoteric dreamwork offers a unique path to personal evolution by integrating the lessons and revelations gleaned from the dream world into daily life. Through these practical techniques of dream incubation, journaling, and sacred sleep meditations, individuals can cultivate a heightened state of awareness or build their Dream Body-that crosses the threshold of sleep into Other states of consciousness. The added bonus for creatives, is many artists and writers have been inspired by dreams and Kristena shares some of these stories. Kristena West M.A. has been teaching Dreamwork since the early 90's and brings years of shamanic and Western Mystery traditions training and safe tried and tested techniques. She has written two books, Alchemy the Magical Arts of the Union of Soul; 1998 and Olaf Asteson a Holy Nights Art & Dream workbook; 2019.
