“Once Upon Your Time…is Now”
“Once Upon Your Time…is Now”
A 12-Week Creative Journey through the Myths and Archetypes of Fairy Tales
What if you’ve forgotten the magical forest you carry within you?
We all hold stories inside: some whispered by inner voices we barely recognize. In fairy tales, the forest is where transformation begins. It’s where we get lost in order to find something deeper and truer.
Once Upon Your Time is a guided 12-week journey through the symbolic world of fairy tales — not as fantasy, but as a powerful, practical map for self-discovery and creative expression.
This program is for curious minds, artists (including those who don’t yet dare call themselves that), dreamers, and people going through transitions in their lives. Through intuitive art, movement, writing, and symbolic storytelling, you will meet the archetypes that live within you… and transform them into creative work.
You don’t need any artistic experience — only the desire to reconnect with your voice, your imagination, and your inner guide.
By the end of this journey, you will have:
- A symbolic creative project that captures your inner myth — such as an art journal, a series of collages, paintings, visual poems, or a symbolic self-portrait.
- A deep connection with your personal archetypes (like The Maiden, The Shadow, The Guide…).
- Tools to unlock creativity, overcome self-doubt, and channel your emotions.
- A ritual sense of closure — and clarity about your next steps.
- Belonging to a circle of kindred spirits: a tribe of brave, creative people.
- And a new way of walking through the world: with new stories and renewed purpose.
The 3 Stages of Your Journey
This program is built around three phases of intuitive exploration and creative practice in which we meet live, online, once a week. It’s not about mastering artistic technique — it’s about embodying your own creative presence.
Act I – The Call: "Awakening Your Inner Forest"
- Explore your “inner forest” through fairy tales and myths
- Identify recurring images, metaphors, and personal myths
- Discover the forces (visible and invisible) that support you on your journey
- Build habits that sustain your artistic flow
Act II – The Descent: "Into the Shadows"
- Work with fear, resistance, and the “villains” of your inner story
- Face your inner obstacles through creative play
- Transform wounds and doubts into expression
- Discover resilience, strength, and insight hidden in challenges
Act III – The Return: "Creating Your Mythic Self"
- Integrate what you’ve learned into a new creative vision
- Begin your final artistic project (collage journal, painting series, sculpture, performance, etc.)
- Deepen your project and prepare it to share
- Culmination + group showcase of projects
What kind of project will you create?
- Archetypal collage journal and/or
- Series of intuitive paintings and/or
- Sculptural “altar” of a character and/or
- Symbolic poem or performance and/or
- Artistic self-portrait
You choose the form — I provide the guidance and structure.
This program is for you if…
- You feel creatively blocked or drained
- You long for ritual, expression, or reconnection with yourself
- You are drawn to fairy tales, symbols, and archetypes
- You want to create something meaningful — even if you don’t see yourself as an “artist”
- You are in transition and seeking clarity, resilience, or inner guidance
- You want a creative space that is safe and spiritually nourishing
Not for you if…
- You are looking for psychological therapy (this is guided art, not clinical therapy)
- You only want artistic technique
- You are not open to the symbolic or the intuitive

Voices from the Journey
“This program arrived at the perfect moment. I was going through a major transition and felt stuck between who I was and who I was becoming. Alexandra’s approach — weaving artmaking, mythology, fairy-tale symbols, and gentle guidance — gave me clarity I didn’t even know I needed.
My creative project became a mirror of my inner landscape. I now have tools to work with my ‘Shadow,’ my ‘Guide,’ and my ‘Hero’ in ways that support me long after the sessions ended. I recommend this program to anyone seeking depth, direction, or renewal.”
“I almost didn’t sign up because I’m ‘not an artist.’ But Once Upon a Time… there was YOU showed me that creativity isn’t about talent — it’s about expression, presence, and play.
The way Alexandra explained archetypes made everything feel relatable and empowering. I loved the small group sessions and the sense of safety she created. My final project — a set of intuitive collages — surprised me with how personal and meaningful it became.
If you’re looking for a gentle, magical, and transformative journey, this is it.”
“I joined the three months program feeling creatively drained and disconnected from myself. I never expected that fairy tales, archetypes, and simple creative rituals could open such a powerful doorway back into my imagination. Each week felt like uncovering a forgotten part of my story.
By the end of the 12 weeks, I had filled an entire art journal — something I hadn’t done in over a decade — and I finally feel like the author of my own life again. This program didn’t just spark creativity. It helped me come home to myself.”
