Winter asks something of us that no other season does. It asks us to slow down, to go inward, to sit with what is quiet and unresolved and not yet visible. In a world that rewards productivity and performance above almost everything else, this feels countercultural — even uncomfortable. And yet something in us recognises it as necessary. As true. Because stillness is not emptiness. And darkness, as it turns out, is one of the most faithful and creative forces there is.

There is a kind of work that only winter makes possible.

This is what The Luminous Dark is for.

“Let this darkness be a bell tower and you the bell.”
— Rainer Maria Rilke

'To be an artist is to dare to shape the unseen: to give form to grief, to whisper hope, to weave beauty into fractures'
-Makoto Fujimura 

The Luminous Dark is an eight-week mixed media process-art course designed for exactly this season. Moving deliberately from darkness toward light — through expressive mark-making, clay, magazine collage, touch drawings, charcoal, smoke and ink — each session opens a new layer, and each mark becomes part of a growing body of work that is uniquely yours. A visual record of your inner life. Of what this quiet season holds, and what it has to offer you.

You don't need experience or artistic skill. You need only curiosity and the willingness to show up and pay attention to what is already there.

This session is a two+ hour intensive Chakra/Aura Cleansing & Activation Session that is done in a comfortable environment, where your Higher Self is part of the healing  team,  as leader of its pace, being that we work where you are ready and willing with as much stability and balance through our.  

If you are wanting an energetic reset to move forward in your life, you may benefit from the support and assistance of your self growth and healing during a Chakra Clearing intensive.  It can help you take that step forward in your life and help you perceive with clarity, peace and a clearer intent. 

The session includes a reading of your general chakra health, a process to cleanse and activate your chakras that can be used as often as you like to do at later dates. Your custom reading then moves deeper into the intensive processes of identifying blocks held in the subconscious mind, deactivating certain blocks from past trauma, events belier systems that perhaps no longer serve, heart walls, heart addictions, trapped emotions, inherited trapped emotions.

We together look at releasing toxins, be that environmental, medical, EMF Cellular.  Nuritional deficiencies, energetic misalignments. Parasitical energies. 

Whatever comes up would be what you are ready to release and calibrate. 

To conclude the session, we recheck the chakra system and I make a custom made flower essence formula for you to take over several days up to a week, to balance &  stabilise the process. 

Follow up sessions are not necessary unless one wants to continue the process deeper, perhaps several weeks or a month to several months later.

Any follow ups would be a approx one hour session plus a flower essence formula to take home.

A series of sessions are recommended to spread over time if you really love your journey in life with the occasional support or need for a calibration.

We are part of a movement dedicated to the appreciation of life, art and human connection. We have created a space for people to gather, to do their art or craft, to read a book or just journal, all while being in the company of others of like mind.

It's a social space with no pressure to spend money or buy drinks, but where you can connect with people if you wish, or sit by yourself in silence. We have seen that many people are looking for connection. Most who have come so far end up talking to the person sitting next to them, forming or deepening bonds. We are gathering monthly (for now), so if you are looking for connection, or are just looking for a social space to practice your art, or read your book, or you are an introvert who would sometimes like to be around others without the pressure to socialise, please join us. 

We have limited capacity, so please email slowheartsclub@gmail.com to book your space. Next one takes place on Wed, 22 July. Mail for more details.

Ts & Cs:
No phones or devices.
No children, unfortunately, though mature teens welcome.
