It’s been a journey of my ‘giving back’ and offering tools and meditations to help people who are in need of it. I found Insight Timer after my parents died and I had severe anxiety. It was through Insight Timer that I met my teacher, Ally Boothroyd, an amazing Yoga Nidra Guide. She is such an inspirational beautiful soul <3 Through my time on Insight Timer I’ve also connected with an amazing community of support and inspiration across the world with diverse teachings and everything from creativity to meditation and music to yoga.  (I feel like we are all the teachers for one another)</p><p>I have been building my own library that now has courses, tracks and lots of free live events that I host over there … you can check it out <a target="_blank" href="https://insighttimer.com/JocelynBates">HERE</a></p><p>I was recently hosting a live event on The Power Of Collage and I had so many <em>AHA</em> moments while in conversation with the beautiful community of people there. The talk also gave me the opportunity to share my own healing journey through collage that began in the 1990’s. In a future post, I’ll be offering some images of my collages through the decades and bring in the insights, healing and wisdom of the Power of Collage. </p><p>The one issue I have with Insight Timer is that I can’t easily share my artwork or the process of creation in step by step in photos other than the live video. I also can’t witness and share other’s creation through the events I run there. So I’ve decided to open up this community to live events and workshops as well as other content. </p><p>I’ve decided to host a Soul Art container here on Substack <em>(I’ll be posting live links to join The Soul Art Container to paid subscribers)</em> This will be a monthly Soul Art Journey that’s active for seven months and leads you through a full Energy Mapping Soul Art journey. </p><p>During this Soul Art container, you’ll be exploring: </p><p>* Your connection to your Soul</p><p>* How You show up in this world</p><p>* Your unique gifts and perspectives</p><p>* How to use your energy and uniqueness to create the transformations that you desire</p><p>* How to cultivate a life in alignment with your own Soul and Inner Wisdom</p><p>The container will begin in March and the replays will be available for Paid Subscribers if you can’t make it to the live event. Dates will be announced in the next few days.  </p><p>Some of the other content you can expect here are Yoga Nidras, Breathwork, Creative Expression workshops and coffee chats together where you can join in and find support on your journey </p><p>I am passionate about Creativity and Creative Expression. I am passionate about our body as an instrument of expression and connection on all realms. I am passionate about accessing our own inner wisdom and connecting with our Soul in order to live in alignment, purpose and joy as move through this life </p><p>In my recent event on the Power Of Collage I began to speak about the conditioning we have all received about what creativity is and how we are ‘supposed’ to be using it. </p><p><p>We are all Creative</p><p>Creativity is a birthright </p></p><p><strong>It’s just a matter of Re-Defining, Re-Imagining and Re-Membering.</strong> </p><p>SO … I look forward to connecting more and bringing some juicy, delicious, inspiring content to all of you <3</p><p>If you’re not a paid subscriber and would like to join in on the Soul Art Container and some of the new content I’m putting together specifically for paid subscribers, you can get in on that action here:</p><p>I’m looking forward to the Creativity!!</p><p>You can also send any questions and possible content you woud like to see here:</p><p>LOVE.
