"I always thought that your art must be complicated and involved.
But it's so simple!
It's brilliant."
Michelle B. - artist and international art instructor
- Create art.
- Jazz up your old clothes,
- Make something beautiful to wear.
Like for most of us, your nervous system might be rattled to the core.
While appearing "normal" on the outside, you might be feeling anxious, angry, lonely, unmotivated on the inside - and silently suffering in functional freeze mode.
Even creating can seem like too much effort.
I know this well from my own journey over many years after debilitating effects from anesthesia. The outer world going bonkers threw fuel on the fire.
As a result, I developed creative methods and patterns that are different from anything else out there.
They are simple, playful and have been proven to be highly effective to reclaim and cultivate sustainable inner calm and joy. Even during times of outer or personal adversity.
- What you do with your hands,
- what you wear on your body and
- what you look at on your walls,
affects how you feel and think.
"I am in my studio again, having fun!
Monika's methods are so much more fun and a lot faster than the dyeing procedures I am used to.
The videos are short and to the point.
And you get instant gratifications."
Linda Thompson - Wearable Art Designer
"Monika, what you are offering is something so special. I haven't seen anything like it.
I must say I quite enjoy the freedom to splash paint freely. It took me out of my comfort zone.
It is quite liberating."
Lindsay Cash - Retiree
"And you can apply the principles in everyday life.
I've even tried it in the gym.
With zero motivation.
It WORKS."
Lynn Edmonds - Artist
