BLIND SELF PORTRAIT Blindfold Portrait Session — The Atlas Creative Circle Saturday 6 June 2026 · Online Livestream
What do you see about yourself when you stop trying to look good?
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
In this online expressive arts session, we work with blindfold portraiture — drawing yourself without looking. With eyes closed or covered, you shift from managing your image to sensing, remembering, and relating. The result is less about likeness and more about permission: to be imperfect, present, and genuinely visible.
For the person who communicates well but still hides inside roles, this session is a gentle disruption. It removes the habit of controlling how you appear — and replaces it with the experience of simply being here.
Research in expressive arts therapy supports non-perfectionistic creative tasks as especially effective for reducing the inner critic's hold, improving self-awareness, and supporting participants who over-identify with competence, image, or getting it right.
Facilitated live by transpersonal art therapist Valeriya Ogorodnyk. Camera-off participation is always welcome. Requires only a piece of paper and a pen.
This session is part of The Atlas Creative Circle, a year-long creative and somatic field for sensitive, high-capacity humans in transition.
No artistic experience required.
Who this is for: High-functioning individuals who hide behind roles or competence. Perfectionists. People-pleasers. Anyone who has been visible everywhere except to themselves.
What you will experience: — Regulation check-in and somatic arrival — Blindfold or blind-contour self-portrait — Inner voice observation: noticing what judges, corrects, or hides — Guided reflection on the image — Short journaling prompt — Optional paired witnessing — Q&A and closing ritual
