My true passion lies in helping and teaching others, so I feel so blessed to live in a world where it's possible to share my classes with people all around the world.
All e-courses are hosted online and include unlimited access so that you may revisit at any time. I offer simple, step by step guides in a safe and loving environment which are perfect for beginners, those who think they "aren't creative", and even experienced creatives who are feeling stuck.
Within my e-courses, I always include a mix of cultivating creativity and self discovery. Because I know there's more to creating than just pulling out a paintbrush. It takes courage, self respect, and sometimes a lot of internal struggle. Let me be your guide as we tear down the walls that hold our innovative souls hostage, crush through creative blocks and neutralize that crippling inner critic. And while I may teach techniques and exercises that I know and love, each lesson is designed to leave you plenty of room for your own interpretation, in order to help you discover your own true creative voice.
Community Experience:
If you're ready to dig deeper and truly reconnect with all of the hidden parts of yourself, then I invite you to join us in the Soul Circle Community. Our circle is a monthly sisterhood to support each other in exploring the beautiful depths of who we truly are through creativity, playfulness, and connection. To be clear, this isn't about learning more or doing more... It's a loving container to inspire and remind you to be the curious explorer of your inner world, and to nurture your relationship to yourself. Because in this fast-paced world of today, it's too easy to get caught up in the to-do lists and constant forward movement; we need reminders to slow down and reconnect.

"Kristal's teaching is very informative (especially for first timers in art journalling). I enjoyed all her videos, her written explanations, with everything precise and to the point!! It can be a bit boring listening to some teachers go on and on, but Kristal kept all her videos short and interesting... which cuts out possible boredom for the person taking the lesson. Thank you very much Kristal." ~anonymous
