Who Am I ?

IMG_4345.heic

Hello dear one and welcome on my website! I’m glad you’ve found your way here.

I'd like to present myself as a multidisciplinary artist,

therapist, teacher, visionary, and mainly : a committed Truth-seeker.

I have a burning passion on the topic of how conscious and intentional creativity

can serve as a pathway to emotional healing, spiritual growth,

and the uplightment of humanity towards experimenting

the beauty of collective consciousness in a concrete way.

For me, Art isn’t just an expression;

it is the means by which we remember who we truly are

and reawaken to the Beauty that exists both within us and all around us.

The School of Conscious Art & My Vision

In October 2023, I founded The School of Conscious Art, « where Creativity meets Harmony ».

The School of Conscious Art’s mission it to offer a spiritual artistic education centered on cultivating an attitude of love towards one another and practicing conscious intentionality in our actions, allowing the healing, growth, and flourishing of the Self in all its facets.

This project embodies my vision of a world where art is not only a personal expression’s pursuit, but a powerful tool for collective transformation through artists becoming living sources of inspiration for the world, and supporting each other spiritually to do so.

It is a space for individuals to reconnect to their inner artist and to their soul, in a spiritually safe environment,

protected by facilitators that ensure that a loving attitude towards one another is being respected.

 

I see The School of Conscious Art as a collective project : one where we come together and work spiritually as a team to elevate each other’s consciousness, uniting around this search for a spiritual Beauty

that transcends duality, differences and division. 

My goal is to nurture an environment where people can find not only their creative voice,

but their true soul’s purpose and place in the world, and be supported to do so.

My Roots and Journey

The roots of The School of Conscious Art lie deeply within my own spiritual and artistic journey. 

When I was a teenager, I faced numerous physical, emotional and psychological challenges that I couldn’t heal from through conventional therapy. 

That led on a solitary journey to alternative ways of healing (and of living!) :

exploring vegetarian, vegan, raw, and fruit-based diets, water and dry fasting, yoga, breathwork, meditation, sungazing, aromatherapy, herbalism, cold therapy, sound and color therapy, chinese medecine, and the healing powers of nature. 

 

I also began to study and draw sacred geometry and spiritual symbols, which helped me anchor my understanding of them, as well as connecting me to a higher form of Harmony, aligned with the laws of Divine Intelligence.

I told myself :

« If I cannot find this beauty that I seek, anywhere around me,

it is up to me to give it form, to become the creator of the reality I wish to live in. »

 

I was also profoundly influenced by Omraam Mikhael Aïvanhov,

bulgarian spiritual teacher and philosopher, whose teachings are still central to my life today.

In 2019, I trained as a therapist in sound, color, and movement with Tama-Do Academy. 

These studies were profoundly enriching, helping me understand the human body, meridians, Chinese medicine, the impact of sound and color on cells (the science of vibrations), the structure of the energy field and its correspondences with the soul’s journey through the stages of life.

Yet, despite all this knowledge, I still felt that something was missing.

I was still feeling alone, unseen, and « misunderstood by the whole world », projecting my deep need for profound intimate and authentic human connection onto romantic relationships that often ended very painfully.

Until I discovered the practice of Soul Mirroring in the spring of 2022 with the I.R.E.S.O.I. Institute (Institute for Research and Education on the Science of Organization and the Individual).

This transformative experience allowed me, for the first time, to feel truly seen, loved, and accepted for who I am - beyond my wounds, imperfections, and history. Being in a group where each person consciously seeks to see and reflect the light in others was the most profoundly healing experience I ever had.

I then committed to 2 years of training to become a Mirroring facilitator, which helped me break free from lots of false beliefs that were holding me back, develop more self-awareness and emotional mastery, and align deeper with my most profound Purpose.

The practice and attitude of Soul Mirroring (striving to see beauty first and foremost in every person and in everything) is now part of the fondational relational ethics of The School of Conscious Art.

My Offerings Today

Under the banner of The School of Conscious Art, here are my current offerings :

 ✧ Circle Art Workshops

These immersive workshops combine the practice of Mirroring, intentional Mandala creation, psychological exploration through the Unitary Sphere of Identity model, and therapeutic writing exercises.

What is Mirroring? It is a relational attitude that fosters a healthy environment where we can deepen our understanding of ourselves and learn to recognize the unique light that others carry as well.

 

 ✧ Commissioned Artworks

I create custom hand-painted sacred geometry artwork, choosing colors and shapes carefully with the inspiration that comes from the intention to support your spiritual journey. This artwork can enhance a healing space or help harmonize your living environment. Additionally, I provide mural painting services for retreat centers, spiritual businesses, and intentional communities.

 

 ✧ Private Personal Mentorship

I offer one-on-one mentorship as a space to explore and reconnect with your most authentic self and deepest purpose. Each session is shaped by your needs : whether through meaningful conversations, expressing emotions in a safe and non-judgmental environment, creating art together (art therapy), or engaging in therapeutic writing. My approach is rooted in strong spiritual ethics, informed by my training with Tama-Do Academy, over two years of Mirroring training with the IRESOI Institute, and enriched by my own life experiences.

 

 ✧ The Conscious Art Podcast

The Conscious Art Podcast wants to give a public voice to commited lightworkers having so much Wisdom to share with the world : Artists on a spiritual path or "artists of Consciousness" ! Its Mission is to work on creating a space in which we can share deep meaningful conversations acting as building pillars for the construction of the School of Conscious Art, while promoting the work of artists commited on a spiritual path.

 

Looking forward to sharing with you this path of spiritual Beauty, opening us all to access the true Freedom that we seek !

Career Timeline

  • In November 2023, I launched my first self-published book, “L’Envol: Poésie pour les amoureux de la Vie” (Flying: Poetry for the Lovers of Life), a collection of mystical poems that capture the profound feminine sensitivities of life. This book serves as a tool for emotional healing, with each poem acting as a ‘medication for the soul’, supporting initiations by offering keys of reflection, solace, and inspiration.

  • In October 2023, I officially founded The School of Conscious Art, where I began teaching Mirroring as well as courses on creating Mandalas. To date, I have facilitated around 40 classes, both in-person and online.

 

  • In March 2022, driven by a desire to help others heal and blossom into their true essence, I enrolled at the IRESOI Institute (The Institute for the Research & Education on the Science of Organizations and Individuals) and completed the first cycle of a two-year training program to become a Mirroring facilitator. I remain actively involved and committed to the IRESOI Institute today.

  • In May 2021, I had my first official exhibition, “Solar Prism”, at the Sutton Art School (in Quebec, Canada). It was a great success, with more than 22 paintings sold. This event led me to begin offering Mandala classes, and I facilitated a 5-week program for a full class of 6th-grade students.

  • In November 2020, I created a Facebook group called "Froid et Joie" (Cold and Joy) to share my love of cold therapy, inspiring hundreds of locals in Sutton to dive into the freezing waters. 

  • In June 2019, I received my Level 1 training with Tama-Do, the Academy of Sound, Color, and Movement, in the Swiss Alps. These studies deeply enriched my understanding of the science of vibrations, sound and color therapy, as well as Chinese medicine.

  • In the summer of 2018, I volunteered in a spiritual community called Ideal Society (in Jaffray, BC, Canada), where I experienced both the joys and challenges of community living. During my time there, I created a mural and painted a commissioned piece for their healing center.

  • I have painted hundreds of Mandalas since the age of 14, using a variety of mediums, including ink, oil, watercolor, acrylic, colored pencils, and pastels. I have also created both indoor and outdoor wall paintings in Quebec, British Columbia, Mexico, and Guatemala.

Testimonials

« Marianne is a unique and authentic artist. She is both anchored in the here and now, the 'real' in its material form; the condition experienced by the human being; and at the same time inspired by the transcendent, the sacred, the Divine.

I enjoyed collaborating artistically on an album cover with her as much as following her mandala design or conscious mirroring workshops.

She is attentive, caring and lets the being emerge from itself. »

Simon LS

« The mandala mirroring classes with Marianne were a beautiful and profound experience of collective creativity.

The environment Marianne fostered was both safe and inspiring, encouraging each participant to delve deep into their artistic expression while feeling supported by the group.

The balance between personal exploration and communal sharing allowed for a rich exchange of ideas and insights, making the sessions not just artistically fulfilling, but also a nourishment for the heart.»

Pablo C. S.

« Marianne is an exceptional being. If you are lucky enough to receive her artwork, read her poetry, participate in her classes, experience her healing sessions, or simply be in her presence, you will be completely transformed.
She has helped me heal my relationship with the Feminine, integrate my Masculinity, and grow into my true Self. »

Jamal Maroon

« I saw you in action,
around a fire and in my face, literally (face painting)!
You don't create
with your head, you create
with your allies of above.
You don't create for the money, you create because your soul needs to create.
Your creations are full of light and incomparable precision.
I love your paintings,
but I love seeing you
animated by Creation. »

Marion D.

of the Mandala Creation Course)


« Infinite gratitude to Marianne for these powerful spaces of connection and creativity. A vibrant experience that nourishes, transforms and reveals. »

Laurène H.

(After a 5-weeks session of the Introduction to Mirroring)


« Marianne Is not only delivering the purest intent of Mirroring, but she is leading with Direction, Purpose,

and Divine intuitive navigation, being able to work with her was a highlight of this practice!

I felt I was in the hands of someone capable of guiding the group with Great Assurity.

 

She is one whom has the burning passion to walk others closer to their being of light,

and understands how to take your hand and guide you to that forever-changing reality in your heart.

 

The experience of being a member of one of her sessions left me with a faith in my heart for the Grace of God

that is irreplaceable, undeniable, and a love that I will never forsake

because it will carry with me from the moments of my time in this mirroring space.

 

Mirroring is carrying a cross of illumination, one that has never been as pristine, digestable, and accessible to others.

It is evolutionary and now an everyday manner of disposition.

 

If you want to be in a space where you can FINALLY be received and receive others' essence of their true heart,

in every emotion and circumstance that has arisen, with a commitment to seeing their light,

then Mirroring with Marianne, is an investment I would without hesitation, recommend! »

Thanks for joining!

« The quintessential artist is the one who has taken as material to sculpt his own flesh,

as a canvas to paint his face and his body, as a book to write his entire being through his thoughts and feelings.

He wants the beauty and harmony of Creation to pass through him.

This artist creates the art of the new culture that is coming... »
