Becoming Sophia Creative Arts Community - Artwork by Kristena West over the years of Sophia

Sophia (divine wisdom) has many guises, many faces, as we all are in the becoming-searching for the Divine. There are countless veils of Sophia- the ancient Egyptian myth, " I am the Past, the Present, and the Future. Every mortal should lift my veil.” Sophia (divine Wisdom) has many faces or veils... if you could lift the veil over Sophia's face, what would she reveal to your soul's gaze? Becoming Sophia is an online creative arts community- it’s a 12 month journey through the Zodiac, mixed media arts, journal writing, meditation, and dreamwork. Each Month we post a Zodiac constellation- and discuss the virtue associated with it. (did you know there are corresponding virtues ?) and as Becoming Sophia is grounded in personal development, self-empowerment and artistic explorations of the Goddesses we find all over the world, we take a look at our own deeper story. You will receive the monthly online Sacred Arts Classroom, that has vlogs and weekly prompts-videos are pre-recorded so you can log in any time all over the word!Becoming Sophia is an online creative arts community- it’s a 12 month journey through the Zodiac, mixed media arts, journal writing, meditation, and dreamwork.
