May 2 @ 10am PACIFIC via ZOOM I'm feeling watercolors... so supplies to bring: ~ Your smashbook or piece of watercolor paper ~ watercolors, brushes, water jar or spray bottle ~ blowdryer or paper towels for blotting ~ sharpies or waterproof markers ~ anything else you want to have to possibly use. Come express yourself through art therapy. No experience is needed seriously! OR just come and hangout and watch. All is good!

Excellent question. I will answer it candidly and with full transparency. For as long as I can remember I have always guided groups of women and yes I have had male students along the way, but my personal calling has been women spirituality. I see our creativity and togetherness as a way for naturally fulfilling my calling... it's in my stars for those of you curious where my calling comes from. I have an Aquarian Moon and Chiron in my Fifth House for starters. Skool is the third "community" platform I have used since deciding to leave Facebook. I left Facebook when all the horrible bully political postings filled with opinions and untruths started hitting it. I don't support the current US President, nor his administration, their policies or tactics, that have resulted in harming not only my own family but other Americans as well as other countries. I share this not for discussion. I share this only for transparency. I accept everyone's personal opinions but am not interested in hearing them on this subject. Skool for the most part is a benign platform although designed by Australian boys with playing games in mind and promoting what I know as pyramid schemes underlying making money. That's fine. I don't play their games, nor focus on being in 100 communities gathering members or sending all of you to join 100 communities by posting a invite or even going the "summit" route which I've experienced now and learned is a direct tie-in to their pyramid method and while appears to support the community leaders participating in the summit who give free things away, are really designed for the organizer to make some good money off of. That's ok. I won't play that game either any more. So for me, this VAP community is for me to share my art, writing, AI exploration and any other creative project with other soulful, creative women who are artists, writers, exploring AI and open to creativity. Honestly, I tried skool's tier system, which supports the FOMO mindset. I don't think it's healthy and so, after serious consideration to completely leave skool, which would mean looking for another community platform which at this time I'm not interested in wasting time doing as I feel I've wasted almost 6 mos learning the real basis of skool structure. As long as they get the $9 mos "rent" from me they really don't care what I do. Which finally brings me to WHY I AM CHANGING MY COMMUNITY.

by Kisma Reidling When the towers of glass fall silent and the vaults of gold rust into dust… when the flags have burned themselves out and the wars have devoured their own noise… when the smoke of careless industry thins and the names of the famous fade from trembling screens… Mama remains. She has outlived empires before. She has swallowed armies, softened monuments, and turned the bones of the greedy into fertile soil. Skyscrapers crumble into sediment. Ego dissolves into wind. Wealth cannot bribe the tides. The thieves, the liars, the conquerors, the indifferent—each returns to her the same way: quietly, without title. Long after the last argument has echoed into nothing, grass will push through cracked concrete. Roots will split foundations. Rivers will reroute themselves without permission. The moon will still pull the oceans into their silver breathing. Mama Earth does not rush. She does not compete. She does not need to win. She simply remains. And when we are long gone, she will still be here—turning, greening, remembering how to begin again. ---------------------------- May Peace Prevail on Earth may peace prevail in my mind may peace prevail in my heart May I know peace may my ancestors know peace unto seven generations. May Peace Prevail on Earth.

Join me and other members today at 2pm Pacific for another episode of FAERY WITH TEETH Link is in the Calendar.

May 1, 2026 the Visionary Artist Path shifts into a Subscription community at $2mos/$18annually. The new structure is LIVE and pre-recorded events. ~ Hands-on Art Journaling classes ~ in Zoom I will be working on an Art Journal that naturally I will submit to Art Journaling Magazine for publication in a future issue. These sessions will be very focussed and on the serious side. Participants have the opportunity to not only learn how I create but also make their own right along with me. Q&A always welcome. ~ AI Prompt Programs ~ in the fashion of the previous Zodiacal and Goddess Archetype projects, I will continue to develop and offer new ones. ~ Smashbook Sanctuary ~ I will continue to hold a monthly live class as well as offer bonus pre-recorded sessions. ~ Writer's Workshop ~ a monthly gathering at which I will be writing and sharing my desktop but as other writer's begin to share, it will become a real meeting of writers. The intention is to share our work, read it, open to suggestions, and receive not only encouragement but direction of the process all the way to publication for those seeking it. From fiction, memoirs, oracles, non-fiction, cookbooks to journals... an all inclusive writer's group. ~ The Supernatural ~ a monthly campfire get together (replacing Fireside Chat with Kisma) at which those present talk about different topics from ghosts, aliens, spirits, to tarot, oracle cards, ritual, spells, to herbal remedies, tinctures, hands-on healing, to ??? Whatever becomes the topic. Those who gather can suggest the topic. So, spontaneous and of the moment. I hope these 5 monthly events will spark your attention and you'll be attracted to one or several. While I realize some members will churn, I look forward to embracing those of you that feel $2mos/$18 is well-worth the tiny donation to keep this community alive. May 1st... is the switch-over day. Bright Blessings, Kisma🫶
