Making Zen - Get the VIP Experience! -- Closes 25th November 11.59pm AST!

 

Making Zen has come to an end and we are on our last week of Gratitude Junk Journal, we have had such a lovely time. 

It was great to connect with some of you and see all the work produced in the retreat. I hope if you are doing the bonus session of Embellished and Stitched, you will share your take on the lesson with me on Instagram - @realityarts.

For some the 5 days of the retreat fitted their schedules, but If 24 hours of access seems like it’s just not enough, the VIP Pass, which gives you lifetime access to the workshops, as well as some other special bonuses from each of the presenting artists, is available until Monday 25th November 11.59pm AST. 

If you want to join in on the fun, you can get all the details for the free ticket and for the VIP Pass HERE.

It is really great to see what you are creating too.  I have been completing the projects from the other teachers as well and will be sharing soon.  

Gratitude Junk Journal

My lesson went live for the Gratitude Junk journal, and I created a series of tags that can be added to the art journal.  The creation of the tags is about reflecting on the time spent, in the past, present and what you would want for your life in the future.   Here are the tags
