Collage Alchemy is a guided, intuitive art-making journey that expands you into your creative power.

In this immersive journey, you’ll learn intuitive art-making techniques, specifically with the magical medium of collage. You will be making art in real time alongside others in a structured online container that reconnects you with your intuition and expands what’s possible in your creativity. On four Sundays between July 20 - August 10th, Catherine will guide you through a sequence of two-hour creative sessions. Think of each session as a creative activation — intentionally designed to reconnect you with your intuition, play with your inner child, embody the energy of who you’re becoming, and boldly claim the possibilities of what you’re stepping into next in your life and creative journey.  No art skills needed—just openness, curiosity, and a willingness to explore your creativity in a fresh & freeing way.

Weekly Collage Themes:

Week 1: Listening to your Intuitive Whispers 

  • We’ll begin by listening to the quiet inner voice — tuning into the subtle language of images, colors, symbols, and form. Where intuition speaks through visuals.

Week 2: Playing With your Inner Child 

  • Reconnect with the part of yourself that creates freely with unfiltered expression — through joy, curiosity, and wild play. Shake off perfection and follow what delights.

Week 3: Embodying Your Elevated Self 

  • Tap into the part of yourself that’s becoming, and powerfully anchor into that higher frequency. Feel and live inside that energy.

Week 4: Claiming What’s Possible

  • Create art that becomes a living altar - a mirror and magnet - for what you’re calling in and creating next.

What Makes This Course Unique:

  • It’s designed for non-artists and artists alike. No experience needed, just an open-mind and willingness to play and explore your creativity in a fresh and freeing way.  

  • We create together, in real time. There’s magic in making things alongside others. Be held in a structure that supports creative flow. 

  • This is a hands-on, experiential journey. You’ll learn by doing. Around 60-75% of each session is dedicated to active creative practice and embodiment, so you’re not just talking about creativity — you’re living it.

  • The focus is on the process, not the outcome. The art you make is simply a record of what internally wants to move through you. Collage becomes the mirror to your inner landscape. We’re playing, not producing. 

  • You’ll receive Mirrors, not Critiques. Receive reflections in small breakout groups that help you see your work in a new light. Collective noticing can often reveal meaning, surprising connections, and insights into your subconscious which are harder to see on your own. 

  • It’s not about getting good at art - it’s about letting art be good for you.

Who’s This Course For?

  • You want to take your creativity to the next level — to stretch the edges of your expression and see what’s possible

  • You feel a creative energy within — but it’s been dimmed, muffled, and possibly stifled. It’s been waiting for the right space to breathe, expand, and be expressed.

  • You’re ready to loosen the grip of your inner critic and let play, joy, and your inner child lead the way.

  • You want to nurture your creative spirit in a way that feels spacious, freeing, intuitive, and deeply fun

  • You’ve been feeling creatively stuck, dry, or disconnected — but something in you knows it’s time to begin again.

  • Not at all. This course is designed for both seasoned creatives and complete beginners. You don’t need any art or collage experience—just a willingness to explore your creativity in a fresh and freeing way. 

    Collage Alchemy is about tuning into your intuition and letting your hands lead the way. It’s about trusting your inner impulses and giving form to what wants to be expressed. This isn’t a course about making something polished or perfect—it’s about making something true. Whether you haven’t picked up scissors in years or you’re constantly creating, this experience will meet you exactly where you are.

  • Yes — that’s one of the core reasons I created Collage Alchemy.

    • My collage journey began during a time I felt completely creatively blocked. I had tried all kinds of exercises, prompts, and practices — but collage was the tool that finally helped me move through years of stuckness and quiet the inner critic that had taken over.

    • This course is the living embodiment of what I’ve found actually works — the structure, rhythm, and creative container I wish I’d had when I was feeling stuck. It’s designed to meet you gently, invite you back into motion, and help you reconnect with your creative spark. 

  • By the end of Collage Alchemy, you’ll have a body of work — collages and reflections — that have captured what’s real for you: your desires, emotional textures, inner truths, longings, and intuitive nudges. 

    You’ll walk away with at least 8 collaged pieces of varying sizes and complexity. Plus, a new toolkit of practices to reconnect with your intuition and jumpstart your creative flow. 

    Most importantly, my highest hope for you in this course is to leave with a stronger trust & connection with your intuition, confidence in your creative power, and the momentum to keep creating what’s most aligned with your soul’s deepest callings beyond this course. 

  • Yes - a small number of partial scholarships are available. If this experience feels aligned but financially out of reach, please directly reach out to me here. In your message, please share a few sentences about your current situation, what’s drawing you in to Collage Alchemy, and I’ll let you know what’s possible. :)
