Connect to Your Creative Calling
your vision altar board journey begins here
Welcome to a magical journey of art making, one that opens the portal to your dreams!
Below, you will find a series of videos that introduce you to the philosophy behind this work, and provide you with guidance on how to gather supplies. This is followed by a workshop presentation that takes you through the steps to create your very own Altar Board.
And, as a bonus, when you send me an email sharing your experience of your process with me, (accompanying pictures of your Vision Altar Board are optional but greatly appreciated!), I will celebrate you by giving access to an extra video teaching! This is where I share additional tips and tricks by talking you through 2 Altar Boards I created for the year. My aim is to encourage you to complete your Vision Altar Board, so I invite you to take part! 😉
My hope is that this workshop inspires you to connect with your heart, and unleash your big and beautiful dream in the new year.
I would love to connect, and if you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to drop me an email at irene@alignmentjourneys.com.
Introduction
to the Sacred VisionAltarBoard
The guiding philosophy behind Intentional Creativity is simple yet profound. It recognises that everybody is a creative being, and that our imagination has the power to activate and transform our reality. By accessing the creative field that is available to everyone, we learn how to intentionally, and consciously, direct our lives. Wonder, curiosity, and play - all these become commonplace when we reclaim our power as co-creators of our one wild and precious life.
Gathering Supplies
Preparing for Our Time Together
Learn more about the One Rule for this process, and let inspiration guide you as you go on a treasure hunt! Remember, though, that the real treasure is inside of you, and there’s really no way you can get this wrong. I share my personal stash of go-to supplies, and also provide suggestions on how you can set your personal space for our upcoming workshop.
Workshop
A Step by Step Guide to crafting your Altar Board
This presentation outlines the art and science of Vision Altar Boarding, and takes you through the steps to create your very own masterpiece! By grounding our art making process in neuroscience, we gain a better understanding of just how powerful our intention and focus are in manifesting the desires we have.
Guided Activation
Tuning into your heart's desire
Let's begin with a powerful guided visualisation to help you attune mind, heart, and body. When we create from this aligned state, so much magic can happen. Try it, and see for yourself!

BONUS! Poem by Leyla Aylin:
I came across this poem recently, and thought I'd share it with you. Thank you for taking the time to tend to your beautiful soul.
How brave you are for slowing down. For not finishing that to-do list.
How courageous you are for not crossing that finish line, because your body said “enough.”
How fearless you are for choosing the quiet of your soul over those voices driving you always towards more.
How bold, how rebellious –
you, out there,
honoring your own natural rhythm,
going against the culture’s breakneck speed.
We tend to make heroes of those hungry with ambition, relentlessly doing, producing always more.
We applaud those who refuse to stop or rest. Who push themselves so hard in the name of achievement, that they sacrifice their body and soul and heart in the process. We celebrate those who are ill or aging but never show it, never slow down, never reveal a moment of vulnerability.
This drivenness can be heroic, at times. It can be necessary for our survival or the greater good.
But,
I want to make heroes of those who slow down.
I want to make heroes of those who listen to their bodies, who do not strive for more than what the soul truly needs.
I want to make heroes of those who do not force or push, but surrender to each moment as it opens.
I want to applaud those who may not be driven towards success as we know it, but instead are nurturing something deep and subtle and needed.
I want to celebrate those brave enough to cease all doing, even for a second, and sit with the ache in their hearts. A task many find harder than summiting the highest peak.
I want to make heroes of those who honor their limitations. Who are unable to keep up with the busy-ness of our times, yet show up to each profound, necessary moment.
It is truly an act of courage and rebellion to do any such thing, in a world demanding you resist your own self, your own rhythm, your own soul.
And the paradox is, that often when we cease our incessant doing, even for a minute, and listen to that quiet voice within, we discover what it is we absolutely must do, and what instead can fall away.
We finally hear the call towards what serves our soul, and what then will serve the world. Nothing more, nothing less.
A hero is simply someone brave.
So come, be softly brave.
Be a new, quieter kind of hero.
Few may applaud, it’s true, but your soul certainly will.
