ECLIPSE FORGE — The Geometry of Creative Courage
Eclipse Forge is an in-person sacred geometry and art therapy workshop in Cheltenham, Melbourne — the ignition threshold of The Atlas Creative Circle Term Three, facilitated through the Active Kreative™ Methodology.
Courage is not the absence of fear. Working with compass-and-ruler sacred geometry, mandala and solar forms, red-gold colour activation and archetypal embodiment of the Creator, you will give creative courage a safe structure — precision holds the nervous system while colour and personal symbolism awaken expression.
You will create your Courage Seal — a personal geometric emblem of the form of courage you wish to practise — supported by grounding, coherent breathing and a witness circle. No creative experience required. Maximum 10 participants.
Saturday 8 August 2026 · 10:30 am – 12:30 pm · Cheltenham Community Centre, 8 Chesterville Road, Cheltenham VIC 3192 · $65 casual drop-in or $420 full Term Three (8 sessions) · Facilitated by Valeriya Ogorodnyk.
HIGHER SELF IMAGE — Meeting the Self Already Becoming
Higher Self Image is an online collage and symbolic self-portrait workshop in The Atlas Creative Circle Term Three, live-streamed worldwide through the Active Kreative™ Methodology.
Meet the higher self not as a perfect future identity, but as the wiser part of you that already sees beyond immediate fear, pressure and habit. Through guided future-self encounter, mirror and silhouette reflection, collage self-portraiture and future-self interviewing, you will turn emerging qualities into an image you can live from.
You will create your Inner Navigator Portrait and anchor one emerging quality into a small present-day behaviour. Live online session with member portal replay. Simple home art materials. No creative experience required.
Saturday 15 August 2026 · 10:30 – 11:30 am AEST · Online live stream worldwide · $80 per online term (16 sessions) · Facilitated by Valeriya Ogorodnyk.
THE INNER GUIDE IN REVERSE — Lino Print Making
The Inner Guide in Reverse is an in-person lino carving and reverse-image printmaking workshop in Cheltenham, Melbourne — the guidance threshold of The Atlas Creative Circle Term Three, facilitated through the Active Kreative™ Methodology.
Reverse-image making requires trust: you carve one surface, and the final print appears reversed. Through active imagination, archetypal guide visualisation and beginner-safe lino or foam printing, you will meet the inner guide that is present in your life right now — animal, archetype, symbol, tool or landscape.
You will create your Guide Print — an image of your current source of guidance — and practise recognising intuitive signals without forcing answers. No printmaking experience required. Maximum 10 participants.
Saturday 22 August 2026 · 10:30 am – 12:30 pm · Cheltenham Community Centre, 8 Chesterville Road, Cheltenham VIC 3192 · $65 casual drop-in or $420 full Term Three (8 sessions) · Facilitated by Valeriya Ogorodnyk.
CONTAINER FOR THE SELF — Vessel of Becoming
Container for the Self is an online vessel-making and boundary art therapy workshop in The Atlas Creative Circle Term Three, live-streamed worldwide through the Active Kreative™ Methodology.
Deep insight without containment can become overwhelm. Through container visualisation, box decoration or drawn vessels, inside-and-outside mapping and boundary-language practice, you will create a symbolic container for what is still forming — a boundary that protects without imprisoning.
You will create your Vessel of Becoming and learn a simple containment practice for holding insights until you are ready to act on them. Live online session with member portal replay. Simple home materials. No creative experience required.
Saturday 29 August 2026 · 10:30 – 11:30 am AEST · Online live stream worldwide · $80 per online term (16 sessions) · Facilitated by Valeriya Ogorodnyk.
STONE MESSAGES — Making Inner Wisdom Durable
Stone Messages is an in-person stone painting and archetypal inscription workshop in Cheltenham, Melbourne — the embodiment threshold of The Atlas Creative Circle Term Three, facilitated through the Active Kreative™ Methodology.
Some lessons need weight, language and durability. Through grounding by weight and touch, archetype and Strength Card reflection, values mapping and symbolic inscription, you will condense one guiding truth into a message painted onto stone — a grounded object of inner authority you can hold whenever a real choice needs to be made.
You will create your Stone of Inner Authority and speak its message in your own voice within a witnessing circle. No creative experience required. Maximum 10 participants.
Saturday 5 September 2026 · 10:30 am – 12:30 pm · Cheltenham Community Centre, 8 Chesterville Road, Cheltenham VIC 3192 · $65 casual drop-in or $420 full Term Three (8 sessions) · Facilitated by Valeriya Ogorodnyk.
PURPOSE PRACTICE — Turning Insight into Living Commitment
Purpose Practice is the closing online integration workshop of The Atlas Creative Circle Term Three, live-streamed worldwide through the Active Kreative™ Methodology.
Purpose does not have to arrive as a grand mission. Reviewing your Term Three artworks — Present Terrain Map, Belonging Piece, Courage Seal, Inner Navigator Portrait, Guide Print, Vessel of Becoming and Stone Message — you will find the connecting thread and translate it into one small, repeatable values-to-action practice.
You will create your Living Compass Page: your present direction, guiding value, support, boundary, next small action and the sign that recalibration is needed. Live online session with member portal replay. No creative experience required.
Saturday 12 September 2026 · 10:30 – 11:30 am AEST · Online live stream worldwide · $80 per online term (16 sessions) · Facilitated by Valeriya Ogorodnyk.

MAPPING YOUR SEASONS
MAPPING YOUR SEASONS Cycle of Life Map — The Atlas Creative Circle Saturday 23 May 2026 · Online Livestream
Which season are you actually in right now — growth, depletion, consolidation, or renewal?
Mapping Your Seasons is an online creative self-reflection workshop inside The Atlas Creative Circle, designed to help you honestly assess where your life is resourced, where it feels stretched, and what needs care next. This session sits within Atlas Term 2, a phase centred on clarity, softening, and reorientation, where participants are supported to move gently from overwhelm into steadier self-awareness through creative and embodied practices
For those who want the ATLAS journey from anywhere — a gentle, steady rhythm of creative mapping and regulation. 16 online sessions across the year. Payment Options: $80 per term
Held after the Taurus New Moon, this session works with themes of stability, values, grounding, and embodied enoughness. Rather than focusing on ideal goals or pressure-based planning, this practice invites you to create a Cycle of Life map — a visual and reflective overview of the season each area of your life is currently in. You will explore your energy, relationships, creativity, money, home, time, and body care, and begin to see what is truly feeding you and what is quietly draining you.
This is not about fixing yourself. It is about honest seeing.
Through a guided grounding check-in, a Cycle of Life wheel, reflective journaling, simple drawing or collage, and a practical values-to-actions template, you will be supported to identify one area of strength, one area that needs repair, and one stabilising action you can take in the week ahead. The Atlas Creative Circle uses the Active Kreative Methodology, a four-stage process of initiation, creation, activation, and affirmation that combines creative expression, presence, reflection, and integration.
This online workshop is ideal for sensitive, intuitive, and high-capacity people who are moving through transition and want a creative, non-verbal, nervous-system-aware way to understand their current life balance. No artistic experience is needed. You do not need to explain everything in words. You only need willingness to arrive as you are.
By the end of the session, you may leave with:
a completed Cycle of Life map
clearer awareness of where life is currently supporting or depleting you
one grounded action for the coming week
a stronger sense of continuity between your inner work and everyday life
This session also serves as a bridge into the next Atlas sanctuary gathering on 30 May 2026, where clarity begins to turn into expansion, voice, desire, and brave truth.

Sacred Geometry Grounding
You’ll be guided through structured pattern work designed to integrate and stabilise everything explored during the term. Order and repetition bring clarity and containment. You’ll leave with a grounded sense of completion and a clear internal structure to carry forward.
Disappearing Art
This session guides you through creating and then releasing imagery using impermanent materials. The process supports safe letting go without emotional intensity. You’ll leave feeling lighter, complete, and more comfortable releasing what no longer needs to be carried.
Name Reclaiming
You’ll be guided through sound, rhythm, and visual expression to explore your name beyond roles and labels. The process reconnects identity with presence rather than story. You’ll leave with a stronger sense of self-recognition and a renewed relationship with your name as an anchor of identity.
Crossing Boundaries
This workshop guides you through symbolic and embodied exploration of inner limits and transitions. By engaging the body and hands, change is experienced physically rather than intellectually. You’ll leave feeling expanded, clearer about where you stand, and more confident crossing internal edges.
Planting the Seed (Neurographic)
You’ll be guided through flowing line work designed to interrupt overthinking and introduce new patterns. The process allows intention to settle without force or pressure. You’ll leave with a sense of movement, possibility, and a visual anchor for something new beginning to take shape.
Full Body Mapping
This session gently guides you into body awareness and sensory mapping, helping you translate physical sensation into visual form. As attention settles into the body, clarity replaces mental noise. You’ll leave with a deeper sense of grounding and an embodied understanding of what your body is communicating.
Life Constellation
A visual mapping workshop exploring how people, places, and experiences shape your life, offering clarity through relational and systemic insight.
Inner Compass Mandala
A guided creative workshop to clarify values, inner direction, and decision-making through symbolic mapping and mandala-based orientation.
