SPARK SESSIONS ARE
INDIVIDUAL GATHERINGS
WHERE I LISTEN AND GUIDE YOU
TO BRING RENEWAL & IMAGINATION
TO YOUR SACRED STORY
WITH SIMPLE, PLAYFUL,
CREATIVE PROMPTS.
Gentle, Soulful Sessions Designed to Refresh Your BE-ing
COME TO A SPARK SESSION
& ENTER INTO SACRED PLAY
WITH LINE, COLOR & WORD
ORGANIC FLOW AWAITS YOUR “YES!”
Your sacred life is not meant to be boring. Routine is good — sure! — however… there is a way to swim through your days, meander through life’s valleys, cruise through circumstances with your eyes open to the LOVE that lives within YOU and around YOU in a flowy, delightful, colorful way.
Spark Sessions are a sacred space for you to share your story. What transformation do you seek? I listen. I witness. And THEN, we open our sketchbooks and do some soulful play on the page with line, color and word. I work with you (and She-Spirit) to guide you towards expansion, growth and joy with simple, creative prompts that lead you to your soulful YES.
Hesistant? I tell you, the transformative power of line and color is REAL! Come to a Spark Session and open yourself to a nourishing way to tend your sacred story. You will SEE your marks arise and then, you are INVITED to release judgement and HONOR your personal wisdom.
Spark Sessions last for about 75 minutes. All you need is a sketchbook, black permanent marker and some watercolors.
ENTER INTO ORGANIC FLOW
Throw away the plan and allow yourself to enter into organic flow!
When you show up to a Spark Session,
we open ourselves to She-Spirit to see where she desires to take us.
By listening to where you are and the needs you have,
I’ll gently guide you to enter into your story with line, color and journaling.
Other practices — such as breath work or guided visualization — may be included.
We’ll move through a minimum of three creative “movements” together.
During our time of completion, I give you suggestions
for further creative prompts to engage.
Samples from past Spark Sessions are below.
• Refresh Your Soul •
• Playfully Engage the Present Moment •
• Let Your Inner Wisdom Surprise You •
— My intention for each Spark Session is —
To guide you BACK to your own personal wisdom.
To empower you to make choices that light you up.
To release you from the binds of creative perfection and give you wide permission to play.
To encourage you to show up to a sacred practice that grounds and roots you.
To model ritual, contemplation and gentle observation.
My name is Ally and I’ll be your guide!
Who am I? I’m a seeker. A mystic. A dreamer. And, a woman who loves to encourage YOU to bloom into a fuller version of yourself with creative practice. I’ve traveled a spiral spiritual road to find my way to the feet of the Sacred Feminine, who, with open arms, invites, “Come. Sit. Be. Create. Nourish. Love. Speak.” I love to share my passion for color and Divine surprise with the world. Imagination lights me up and creative play is a saving grace. I believe life is a soul adventure to dive in and savor deeply.
I have a breadth of experience to share with you! I’ve been an artist and writer since I can remember, graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1999. I was an active layperson and elder in the church for many years leading groups and studies. This experience opened a desire to deepen into spiritual practices; I received a Certificate in Spiritual Formation from Columbia Theological Seminary in 2017. The study of Spiritual Formation led me back to my art. In 2018, I trained with artist, Shiloh Sophia of Musea, to become a certified Intentional Creativity® Educator. In 2020, I certified with Musea again, as a certified Red Thread Guide to strengthen my ability to host circles with intention and love at the center.
In a 1-on-1 Spark Session, I guide you to explore your story in a sketchbook with simple yet soulful prompts. My style of teaching is playful and gentle; direct and deep. My being soars when I witness people discover the power and WISDOM they hold within. I’d love to companion your SOULFUL painting journey!
What Materials Do I Need
for a Spark Session?
• a 7”x10” or 9”x12” Mixed Media Sketchbook, like this
• a pencil
• a black permanent marker
• Watercolors; my favorites are these
• A few brushes & a jar of water
My heart does a happy dance when a soul sparkler, such as YOURSELF, signs up to work with me one-on-one. I understand (both) the trepidation AND anticipation of such a soulful, playful, deep journey! Whether you sign up to connect with me or choose to go another route, I want to affirm that taking a RISK on yourself and making the investment of time, money and energy IN TENDING YOUR SACRED STORY is worth it!
