About Julia Inglis 

Creator of the Sacred Familiar Doll Course and By Star & Sea Tarot Pilgrimage

Artist and mentor to people seeking access to creativity, intuition and ancestral connection through folk traditions and pathworking

 

The Etheric Pilgrimage

As a creative introvert, I have always longed for community spaces where I didn’t feel overwhelmed by being in a group. I am passionate about creating learning environments that are encouraging, inclusive and safe.

I found that applying the same lessons and themes that are experienced on a physical pilgrimage can be applied to create an online etheric journey studying and exploring the intuitive arts.

By embracing and honouring these folk handcrafts of our lineages we can connect to and heal what has been forgotten or misunderstood.

Making Art in Challenging Times

Devoting your time to making art, developing intuition and storytelling in difficult times is not avoidance.

When we come to this work in a grounded and present way, the intuitive arts can give us a way to find a voice or process to explore stories and emotions that need release.

A daily art or intuitive practice can help us to feel more calm and centred and more present to the symbols, messages and language of nature and the spirit world.

My aim is to assist you to build a ritual of creative practice into your daily life to feel more calm and steady. To give you the tools to read the signs and messages from your intuition to help you navigate challenging times with trust.

Swan Sessions - Remembering the gifts you hold

Sometimes we can feel very blocked, confused and even afraid when it comes to accessing intuition and creativity. In your personal Swan Ancestral Session, we will journey online together.

I will consult the tarot and then guide you in a gentle pathworking session to an old story that is keeping you tangled up in binding beliefs from the past. By understanding the past, you can move forward, making new choices and exploring intuitive gifts that have been with you all along.
