ARTIST OF THE SOUL-painting workshop

In the evening between sleep and awakening,
I met one traveling.
He was the light of consciousness. His body was soul,
his pure wisdom apparent in his beautiful face.
~Rumi
This session involves expressive movement and painting to engage and liberate the body’s wisdom. We explore the colours of deep breath meditation, imaging, sounding, and visualization. Intuitively we reach inner depths of knowing and find the seeds of productivity that are kept within us.
As we immerse and move through the rhythms of this journey in a safe and patient way, we recognize our inner vibrational patterns. We then have the opportunity to weave from our depths a “web” of greater understanding and vision. All is reflected on the unique canvass, we flow!

Life’s Prayer is offered as a prayer and a mystical journey of a Divine Opening, an ascension in Light, Love & Consciousness. It speaks of the pathways of consciousness that call in the Dimensions of the Soul and the birth of the New Earth.
Both an invocation and a unique experience of Biljana Banchotova’s soul medicine journeys from within Cosmic relatedness. Through Life’s Prayer her visionary artwork and ceremony will guide you to a harmonious place of sacredness, unity and feminine Wisdom. In this lecture she will explain the importance and significance of finding the Life’s Prayer in your life.
There are two components to the Life’s Prayer DVD. The first one is the VISIONARY JOURNEY —where the artworks are reflected trough the environment and other celestial influences like crystals, power animals, plants and other imagery— and a guided meditation and landscape of music: Rivers of Stars, from Layers of Sky, by Rob Somerville.
The second part is PLACE OF GRATITUDE —a Water Ceremony, performed by Biljana at Humber River, Toronto, Ontario, with her son Justin A A Stonkus. This ceremony is guided with spoken word and Native American flute background —Dream Catcher; from Wings of a Dream, by Marina Raye. PLACE OF GRATITUDE is a dedication for the healing of World Waters and for Our Children.
Notes:
— Please register at least one day in advance.
— Due to limited space, quorum is capped to 25 participants.

Dimensions of the Soul- upcoming solo art exibit

 

 

Origo Books Gallery is proud to showcase a selection of paintings by visionery artist BILJANA BANCHOTOVA — Thursday April 5, 5pm. Downtown Toronto.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) – Mar 06, 2012 – http://www.prlog.org/11817553-art-show-sale-dimensions-of-the-soul-paintings-by-biljana-banchotova.html

BILJANA’s passion as a visionary painter flows from the sacred path of self-realization, and the beauty and sacred geometry of spirit and matter that animates all Nature. Each of the paintings is held by a flowing ‘life force’ which reveals a ‘wisdom story’ within its movement. The vibrant imagery appear tranquil on her canvas, with a shape-shifting nature that mystically inspires and invites the seer.

BILJANA explores a unique creative technique that allows her to tap in and understand the body’s wisdom, to express emotion, and to show the interrelatedness of the spiritual manifestation into form. With many hours of ‘dream work’, sounding and expressive movement, she travels through the pathways of consciousness and intuitively ‘reaches inner depths of knowing’. She has found that Life is ‘breathing’ with energetic vibration, light and consciousness, which manifests throughout the dimensions of our Soul and deeper into the fibres of the Cosmos. As she moves through the process, her visions are painted onto unique Soul Portraits. From her journeys and reflections she has also realized that in the depth of the moment there is a centering place where all faiths and cultural differences could meet in a collective representation.

Currently residing and working from Toronto, BILJANA BANCHOTOVA showed the gift of weaving and expressive arts since young age. In time, these creative ambitions intuitively embodied into her life walk and sacred work. The longing of evolutionary movement opened the Door and she began her travels throughout Mother Earth, gracing many nations & lands —from Greece and the Aegean islands, to Hungary, Egypt and South Africa, were her initiations began for the ancestral knowledge, the mysteries of life and time, and the beauty and wisdom of Earth. She continued her journeys in Canada, communing with its multi-cultural society, embracing the sacred teachings of the First Nations, celebrating in ceremonial dances with the Aztecs, and offering at the Mayan fires for the re birthing of self, Earth and Humanity.

DIMENSIONS OF THE SOUL art show & sale will continue until Monday April 30, 2012. Located at the store’s mezzanine, the Origo Books Gallery is open Monday to Friday, Noon to 6pm.

Opening date: Thursday April 5, 2012 at 5:00pm.

Whirling Wisdom Newsletter ~ “Rebirth”, March 2012

 

 “NURTURING ~ we are the only ones who can heal ourselves-sometimes with assistance, sometimes without. Our energy or ‘chakra’ system corresponds to the energy flow from the Earth. If you listen and feel, the earth will heal as you heal her- with the nurturing force of timeless give and take. Prayer enables you to take power from the mind and place it in the hands of the deities of the earth and sky. Try to see through the mirage of social barriers that cloud the eyes of woman and man. Nurture your dreams. Act in your dreams as you can in a manner that is of harmonious movement with all nature. Find the guarded kivas and sacred places where you have hidden your heart, and nurture your spirit.

-Power Deck, Lynn Andrews & The Sisterhood of the Shield

       March, 2012

At this Whirling Wisdom Doorway of Rebirth, I would like to remind us, to seek in and call upon the power of this transformational force. As we honestly look into the alchemical movement of this energy, we see it happening on all levels of manifestation, consciousness, environmental, social or political- this inevitable transformative and accelerating force slowly shaking up the boundaries of distraction if we chose to, or rebirth if we consciously and willfully direct it!

Rebirth, oil on canvas, 48″x24″, 2003- available

 By now we have realized the natural cycles and continuum in Nature, whether conditions, human and all life cyclic evolution. The element of Fire embodies and sits at the essence of all manifestations, it is the creative spark that births forth life, helps flower shoot from its bud, and moves me with passion while holding on my painters brush and seeing the face of every image on my canvasses. These I feel trough the Heart- the element of Fire emanates peacefully while at this center, brings forth the warmth and healing. When there is love, there is will and it should be the way of conscious living. The colour of this center is GREEN, associated with the Earth and all that Grows.

May the gentle green rays shining from the Sun/grandfather Fire softly pouring life giving growth, creative thought and plant words of inspiration and positive image within all living things.

May we recreate our human destructive condition and elevate it in a more harmonious flow within the Natural world.

May we re-create our societies and support them collectively communicating sustainable ways that will rebuild our homes and home lands.

May we feel this re-birthing feeling pouring deep into our pores, emotions, transforming our Water. See it clearly coming through the springs of the Earth. While we spread our arms in joy or sing from the Heart.

The next colour above out Heart center is Blue- the colour of communication and openness. This center sits at our ‘throat’ and seeks our ability to translate our visions. The state of rebirth comes from the friction of both, the power to see from the heart and the ability to communicate our vision- in a sense the stillness is in the movement itself.  

May we shoot forth & walk consciously wherever we go, inviting grace and understanding….

There is much work to be done my fellow man, and the greatest of all is acceptance, forgiveness, responsibility and the ability to create space within one self, to embody this light- offering compassion to each other and gratitude to all life. We are all emanating the Sun, our heart beat- the sound that unites all living entities and is the key to our next level of understanding and communing- or distance us further apart. Which one will you choose? The truth is that this trans-formative power has been always in our hands, affected and interrelated by everything. The Fire has the ability to heal or to burn.

We all speak to this one Fire,

wherever you might be, tune in to your heart

 and trust while re-birthing~~~

In prayer Biljana, Water Spirit Woman

Trough this ceremony & dream work you will be guided to call in your power animal and imprint its energy & medicine in a crystal. The beauty of this work is that it will able you to bring your guardian animal spirit in a crystal wherever you go. For instance, when you are going to a meeting that is very important and you want to be in harmony, it will help you to be able to take out a crystal that shines in the light, see prisms of light and rainbows within it and remember that you have done a sacred ceremony. So when you need your power animal at times when you can’t do a ceremony, or go on a trip, you are in a midst of a city or feeling low, it is very important to have this crystal with you. It will give you strength and empower you, it will give you something tangible to feel with your hand, and to look into it- which is beautiful and it reminds you of the beauty of your spirit path. It reminds you when the light hits it that there is a meaning to life, that there is a reason to all the transition in life.

For this session you will need to select a beautiful quarts crystal for your power animal. Consider when you pick the crystal whether you would like to wear it around your neck, carry it in your pocket, or put it on your alter at home or in your medicine bundle.

At this session Biljana will share the teachings and the importance of the Medicine Bundle on the Sacred Path, as well offer intuitive readings with the “Sacred Path” Oracle Cards to the one’s interested. – the short session is additional $25.

What to bring: your crystal, item for the alter and your journal.

Whirling Wisdom Newsletter ~ “Love’s Wind”

“Life’s Prayer” – DVD & print

“The only important things in life are the traces of love we leave behind”

-         Fairy Oracle by Sulamith Wulfing

January/February, 2012

I call to you, Grandmother Spider- so, I hear my tinny voice….

Entwined- among the children of earth, you play~

Grandmother! Teach us of weaving, of endless ebb & flow. With your woven Web, you brought us the humans, the first picture of the alphabet. The letters were part of the angles of your web- your sacred language.

By the ‘Medicine of Animals’ sacred oracle teachings this is the story: “Dear asked Spider what she was weaving and why all the lines looked like symbols. Spider replied, “Why Deer, it is time for earth children to learn to make records of their progress in their Earth Walk.” Deer answered Spider, “But they already have pictures that show through symbols the stories of their experiences.” “Yes” said Spider, “But Earth’s children are growing more complex, and their future generations will need to know more. The ones to come won’t remember how to read the petroglyphs. “

So it was that Spider wove the first primordial alphabet, as she had woven the dream of the world that had become manifest. Spider’s body is made like number eight, and also has eight legs. Spider is the symbol for the infinite possibilities of creation. A Cosmic wide web of communications! Her eight legs represent the four winds of change and the four directions on the medicine wheel. Spider is the feminine energy of creative force that weaves the beautiful designs of life. Her web has hundreds of intricate patterns which catch the morning dew. The most important message from Spider is that you are an infinite being who will continue to weave the patterns of life while living throughout time. Do not fail to see the expansiveness of the eternal plan.  

O Grandmother see me- how I spin red and yellow, white and black- Grandmother Rainbow! Guide us how to see through the illusions of everyday life that cloud the mind- to see clearly from the heart, the love that binds as all. All living life manifested itself as a Devine Play!

“Love Wind”- acrylic on canvas, 48X36inch.2003

 (Valentines special offer, original artwork $600) 

The ‘Love Wind’ may swirl from any direction on the medicine wheel (emotional or physical side, the one of the mind or come from the Heart). Embodying the four medicine colours in dance & prayer; I see a Horse within its Web- may it help as on our ‘Inner Travels’~

The Love on the Wind may come in infinite forms- speaking trough Dance, Art, Music, Tea, walk, work, heart of stone……

With loving intentions I would like us to come together and say our hopes and blessings to the ever spinning Spiralling Sacred Fire.

“Beauty before me. Beauty behind me. Beauty on my left. Beauty on my right. Beauty above me. Beauty below me. Beauty is Love. Love is Creation!”  – Cradle Flower, Taos Pueblo.

    The year of 2012 is slowly beginning to unfold- may we embrace these transformative hours with ease and creative thought. My invitation is to anchor the new cycle of rebirth- may our energy/wind of all doings find its ascending light working and collectively sustaining thought. May the days unfold truly with the Sun, while consciously we manifest our destiny from within our own hands of doing! May we Dream with the Heart, and Walk the Way of the Living Light. We are the artists of all colours, we bring forth the vision and build rainbow bridges; may there be support – for the labour is much too great, for our continuing  celebration of Earth, humanity and all Relations~~

At this Whirling Wisdom doorway I would like to speak forth Mary’s poem that was written to honour the ‘sacred journey’ & kiva ceremony that happened at Hovenweep, Chaco Canyon, the sacred land of the Anisazi, Colorado’; which was published at the “Serpent of Light” beyond 2012 by Drunvalo Melchizedek:

THE WEAVING

We stand here, surrounded by the sacred mountains, at the sanapu, where our world began. We come from the four corners of this earth, walking in love, bringing our knowledge of many cultures, many languages. Seeking understanding, growth and change, for ourselves, our nations, or world.

This is our intention! Here at this time we create a new world, we weave a new reality!

We pray for assistance and request witness, from the sacred energies of our world!

*AIR- Winds of the four directions, winds that move the stars

*WATER- Rain, rivers, springs

*FIRE- Our sun, lightning that dances in the sky

*EARTH- Our mothers, her sand, her cliffs, her mountains

*OUR BROTHERS- The four legged, the winged ones, water children and those that creep and crawl

*OUR OWN HUMAN RACE- From our ancestors who first walked this land, to our children’s children, seven generations distend, most of all we call upon

*OUR SELFS here and now, to witness and strive.

We are here to create a weaving of a new reality.

In any weaving, beauty is created by the wrap, weft, and the pattern.

We bring: For the foundations, the wrap tread,

Human energy, the experience of diverse cultures.

Strength and pride from our societies, our families,

History, our struggle to manifest our own path.

These are braided together and string on our loom to form the wrap, the shape of our weaving.

Onto this we weave the weft on our daily journey, the tread of beauty, spun, one moment at a time, with each step of integrity, as our actions span time into history.

And the pattern?

The pattern that will call the rest of the human race into understanding, changing?

This pattern is formed by our teachers and by our intention.

We set our intention to manifest a world where every spirit, human, animal, plant and mineral, walks in harmony and balance, health, and joy.

We ask our teachers to guide us to actions that flow into this intention.

We seek to manifest that divinity within ourselves that will create this new reality.

This is our time.

We are called.

Together we will weave a new world.”

-          HO!

May the truth in these words & prayer gently spiral its way into the eternal flame!

I have dedicated a category titled Communal Fire, at the Whirling Wisdom Web blog, here I circle the Talking Stick (which holds sacred space) and invite you to share, by submitting your creative work/article at: http://blog.biljanaart.com/?page_id=114  You may share any art form or current affair that speaks dear to you; from a place of truth, art, tell a story, poem, or your most favourite nourishing recipes, ect…that will keep our fire spiralling. Enjoy and may you be blessed for your offerings!

in Building Bridges,

Biljana, Water Spirit Woman

Testimonial:

” I wanted to thank you again for all your love you poured forward this weekend.
The love that went into your creation of the instruments,
The love that surrounded us in your amazing home,
The love you poured out in showing us your creative pieces and projects
The love you showed us about the passions you enjoy
The love you showed us about the ceremony
The love you showed us about playing such an amazing instrument
and the love you showed us about energy exchange.
I know those I play for will feel this.
I have learned so much and have been changed by this wonderful experience.  Keep on the open track, you are beautiful, exciting people.
I knew I had to wait for you, to get my official Dig introduction.  I could not do this at a music shop.  I knew that something more powerful was waiting, out there, for me.
Thank you, Namaste, Aloha, Blessings,
Yvonne Bloom~~~”
