Welcome to “Ignite”

The course for the woman who is no longer accepting the “sepia tone” version of herself, together we are creating the life of delicious delight that was always hers to begin with.

A woman who is connected to her sacral power is fully present in the spaces she holds: daughter, friend, partner, mother, artist.

She becomes truly creative -no longer forcing life through her mind, intellect and ego- but creating from the flow of something divine working through her.

She moves through the world with more joy, sensual delight and abundance and feels deeply fulfilled by her life.

She holds desire, power and love with no apology.

A 5-week voyage back into your body, sensuality and creative fire

“Ignite” is a 5 week live programme where you finally become the woman whose relationships, art and home reflect the depth of your desires, instead of accepting the version of womanhood that generations of shame have normalised.

This is for women who feel the creative fire inside them but have become disconnected from it over years of prioritising everybody’s needs before of their own.

When she taps into her vibrant creativity she becomes a better friend, daughter, wife, mother, artist: a rush of creativity, a newly found lust for life, and grounded joy pulsate through her actions.

The key to all of this is awakening your sacral power.

When a woman awakens her sacral power -her Womb & Vulva- she taps into her ancient, divine self, she feels guided by life, the Universe, God, whatever you prefer calling it. She re-discovers what it means to live a life grounded in spirituality: she knows that life and the Earth are sacred, and she can dance, dream her life into being.

The things that are standing between you and rich relationships, alive creativity and a nourishing home that you want are:

· The shame and fear that you’ve inherited from generations of women before you about your own sensuality.

· Falling into a routine that prioritises everybody elses’s needs instead of things that bring you joy nourishes you (eg: making art, a close relationship with nature, making art).

· Performing the “good girl” so well that you’ve forgotten who you truly are.

The moment you start leading your life from your sacral wisdom, you become the powerhouse woman who no longer apologises for who she is.

In “Ignite” we will build lasting connection to the sacral power through:

·Movement

Interrupting the habitual ways that we hold our bodies so that we can make room for new ways of moving through the world

·Dreaming

Tapping into creative flow by becoming receptive to the Divine

·Creation

Bridging the gap between imagination and the material reality through art making (with our hands)

This program IS FOR:

• Women whose curiosity and depth can no longer be tamed. You are a powerhouse. You’re here because it’s time that you own that.
• Transgender women are welcome here, fully. So are women without a womb. This work is about energy, not anatomy.

This program IS NOT:

• An art workshop where you only learn how to draw.
• An easy ride — we go to the root, and we're bold about it.
• A linear process. We engage body, mind and spirit as one.
• A tantric workshop or therapy - if you carry deep sexual trauma, some of this work may be intense and confronting. I'd love to talk with you beforehand to make sure this course meets you where you are, safely.

I invite you to take 5 weeks of your life and make real time and space for simple but powerful practices.

I invite you to make real time and space away from everybody else’s needs and demands. This space is for you. These practices are for you.

Take it.

Hi, I’m Blandine.

I am an artist, a mother of two, a facilitator, a macrobiotic cook& health coach. I have participated in many transformational courses, and have received extensive training in producing programmes. I also love nature, rituals with all the candles, oracle cards and spirituality podcasts. Yes I am woo woo… And I like to reclaim what that means.

I have been a professional artist for 17 years, but really my whole life. I was that kid who wouldn't let her pencils go. I trained as a fashion designer in womenswear at Central Saint Martins in London, but I felt it wasn't quite for me. I then created a successful jewellery collection which ended-up in the windows at Selfridges, Oxford Street. And again, this wasn't it. So I changed gear and went on to study and MA in painting at the Glasgow School of Art, where an excentric teacher told me to embrace my fashion background instead of hiding it: my first soft sculptures were born.

After that, I set myself up as a full-time artist, selling my work and exhibiting around the world. As I worked my way through the art world, I could also feel that something was missing, that I wanted to work with people, pass on what I have learnt over the years. So I started to run art workshops, from my studio and in art galleries. My interests around spiritual matters led me to facilitate women’s circles. And today, I have merged art and spirituality together, and I teach women to awaken their sensual, creative selves.

I believe that in the age we live in, what we need the most is women who are connected to their power, who will lead us into a kinder, fairer and more aligned world.

Most work around creativity focuses on productivity. The thing that’s missing is connection to body and spirit. We live in a mind-driven world. On the other hand, most other practices that offer sacral power connection don’t provide a place for that energy to land: you art and creativity.

You will walk away with:

·A set of simple practices and rituals to stay connected and embodied in your sacral power

·Actual tangible pieces of art that serve as anchors to this awakening

·A set of resources for life to support your practices

·Your fire, sensuality and creativity re-ignited

·A newly found joy and lust for life

Each week, you will step deeper into the well of your creative life:

·Week One: the Womb, where everything begins…

We tap into Womb energy, the birth place of life, of the Cosmos, ideas, projects, art, businesses

·Week Two: Beauty in its simplest form

Through simple yet powerful processes, we shift our vision and gather creative treasures that are hiding inside us

·Week Three: intuitive art is easier than you think

We dive deep into artistic dreaming and visions, we let them come to us. We let ourselves be carried by intuitive line drawing, we watch in awe what appears onto the page

·Week Four: all about that Vulva!

We tap into Vulva energy, the wild child, the one who doesn’t apologise for who she is, the place where we perceive the world from

·Week Five: and now we celebrate!

We have taken a powerful journey together, we take stock, we sing, we dance, we paint, we acknowledge our partnership on the journey, we contemplate the road ahead.

TESTIMONIALS:

“I left Blandine’s workshop quite amazed by how deeply I felt resourced and tapped in to the deeper knowing in my own body of what feels good and creatively resourcing – I even spent the whole weekend peacefully painting my insights. Blandine did a beautiful job of allowing us to both connect as a group of women exploring our creative energy together and also gave us space for deep introspection and movement in our own body. I’d highly recommend this profound and nourishing experience to others.” Hannah

“I’ve just attended a session with Blandine called “Women of the create fire.” Tapping into our sacral chakra and honouring our womb and vulva. If that sounds a bit too personal don’t be put off because Blandine has the ability to make you really comfortable and the emphasis is on our creativity and power and joy. The Womb seems very much like a safe space, a mother of us as well as the obvious magnificent birthing portal. I found myself imagining my arms surrounding and coming down to my hands becoming the vulva. A very earthing experience. Thank you Blandine for bringing my attention to this wonderful sacred space!” Lesley
