BUILD YOUR SYMBOL Totem Making — The Atlas Creative Circle Saturday 9 May 2026 · Online Livestream
A totem is a symbol of identity, protection, and belonging. It carries what cannot always be spoken.
In this online creative arts session, you will build a personal totem using collage, found materials, and drawing — assembling the symbols, textures, and images that represent who you are and what you stand for, beyond the roles you perform for others.
This is not a craft project. It is an act of self-recognition: deliberately choosing the icons, qualities, and images that say — this is what I am made of, and I am allowed to take up space.
Facilitated live by transpersonal art therapist Valeriya Ogorodnyk, this session is a gentle bridge between the shadow work of 2 May and the embodied values work coming on 16 May. It is designed for online delivery — simple materials you already have at home are all you need.
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.
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
Who this is for: Anyone feeling disconnected from their identity, unclear about what they stand for, or craving a creative way to reclaim a sense of self.
What you will experience: — Guided nervous system regulation and somatic arrival — Exploration of personal symbols, icons, and totemic imagery — Totem-building process: collage, found objects, or drawing — Guided reflection: what do I stand for, what protects me, what am I made of — Short witness circle and integration sharing — Closing ritual and take-home practice
