Remodel the Architecture of your Psyche
to break free from past limitations and build a house for your potential
ARTchemytm Playshop Series
![remodel-architecture-psyche-playshops-small]()
For years, Maria had used her writing and acting skills to empower women. She had created theater for the prevention of violence against women and children. She had been a pioneer in feminist theater. She had dedicated her life to this path… but she was neglecting her own empowerment and self-growth. This created a limit in what she could do. Not knowing that her own self-neglect was causing the limitations that frustrated here, she pushed harder, and got sick.
She lost her voice. Only then, when she could not work, she stopped and sat in front of her altar to ask:
It’s not fair! I’ve lost my voice when I am giving voice to those who most needed it and won’t be heard!
She clearly heard the answer:
It was you who stole your own voice from yourself. You give voice to other people’s stories, but you do not know or express your own story.
And then she heard this instruction:
Healer, heal thyself.
That began the path to her own healing, which lead to her training as a shaman or Woman of Power ~which allowed her the emotional clarity and tools to create the theater she had been looking for: Theatre of Transformation.
Since then Maria has amplified her treasure chest of creative tools for transformation with a new system, ARTchemytm. This system allows for the use of arts & crafts to quicken and deepen transformation or life alchemy.
Some years ago, as Maria studied the architecture of old programming in the subconscious mind, and wondered how she could make visible the limitations that were so hidden, she remembered some verses from the Persian poet Rumi:
The spiritual path wrecks the body
and afterwards restores it to health.
It destroys the house to unearth the treasure
and with that treasure builds it better than before.
Maria then created an ARTchemytm Project that does exactly that! Remodel the Architecture of your Psyche uses a box to build a 3D representation of the person’s programmed limitations as an old house. The limitations become the walls of that house, making them not only visible, but accessible to touch and change.
From the sand paintings of Tibetan Monks to the drumming and dancing of shamans everywhere and the singing of healers in Latin America, art has been used by shamans for fundamental reasons:
- It makes the invisible visible
- It makes the intangible accessible to touch and manipulation for change
- It transforms abstract thoughts in your subconscious into 3D solid reality
- It is the bridge that allows you to take something inside you: an idea, inspiration, through or emotion; and bring it into the solid 3D reality to then become the blueprint to manifest or change it.
- It makes transformation fun, doing away with the avoidance and minimizing the pain of the process.
- It heals the Inner Child through creative expression!
- It activates your Creative Genius, making it easier to find solutions, access your intuitive wisdom and see alternatives that were not visible when you were trapped in the old perception.
In this Playshop Series, Maria guides the participants in the creation of the Tiny House of the Past and how each type of limitation in the subconscious is expressed in a wall of that house.
Then she guides the participants in meditating and choosing what they want instead to create an ample architecture that lets in the light, air and expansiveness of their potential.
The participants then create this new house, the House for their Dreams.
Finally, in the closure ceremony the participants show and destroy the photos of the old house and embed the new house in their psyche.
Remodel the Architecture of your Psyche to break free from past limitations and build a house for your potential.
