Artful Affirmations & Original Oracles
Creating Affirmation and Oracle Decks Using Mixed Media and Intuitive Art
Words and images have the power to support or to dismantle. Let the words you speak and the images you conjure be affirming, supportive, and encouraging.
Write, paint, explore, discover, share, empower... 3 Artful Projects to Inspire and Encourage.
This class is all about inspiration and powerful affirming thoughts and images. As we create three artful projects, we will employ a multitude of mixed media techniques to help unlock our negative thoughts and replace them with more positive and affirming ideas and images. During this time together, you'll get to explore materials and create two unique (and artful) decks and one box to house them in! Let’s gather, affirm, and empower!!!

Hello Beautiful Creative You!
I'm happy you're here.
I'm Kiala Givehand, a multi-passionate intuitive & intentional creative. I make (and sometimes sell) handmade journals using a mix of mediums. I host workshops, retreats and online classes where I get to teach the things that nourish my soul -- bookbinding, journaling, creative writing, and self-discovery though transformational content. I am also a life & business strategist for creative, heart-centered, soul-filled women who want to change the world by shining their light more fully and more brightly than ever before.
For almost 20 years, I taught English, Language Arts, and Creative Writing at every level, while simultaneously traveling the U.S. delivering workshops and presentations to educators. While I still travel occasionally to work with teachers and writers, I now enjoy working one-on-one and in small groups with students, teachers, artists, writers, and creative entrepreneurs who want to identify their passions so they can embrace their gifts and talents through the empowered expression of their deepest desires. I do this work as a Creative Business Strategist because I love helping others find the thing that fills them with joy.
I've done a lot of things in my short 40+ years on this planet, but I'm most proud of raising my nephew Treavor, and listening to my inner wisdom by doing the things that make me come alive. Constructing handmade books and art journals is one of those things that allow me to feel A L I V E!!! And I'd love to have you join me on this journey. CLICK HERE if you want to see a gallery of some of my art journal pages.
I cherish every single day and treat life as one amazing adventure. I play with paint and watercolor, fold paper into books, write poetry, short fiction, & creative non-fiction, and sometimes I blog. But always, every single day, I journal and do something that I feel is creative. Oh!! And did I mention that I'm the proud owner of a fabulous collection of fountain pens? (I know. Geek alert!)
Join me and let's create something beautiful, TODAY!!
