  1. Art & Soul with Silvina Lanusse

    Art & Soul with Silvina Lanusse

    Creativity through the lens of an artist and collage storyteller  "Being aware of my surroundings, and stop thinking about worries" Based on Vancouver Island, Silvina Lanusse creates work from fragments: torn paper, vintage letters, sheet music, old maps, and pieces of memory. She often begins without a strict plan, letting each piece guide her as it evolves from chaos into quiet, layered harmony. She embraces imperfection, valuing the raw, unexpected turns that happen along the way. Originally from Argentina, Silvina brings a bold sense of color and an intuitive approach to her work. Collage offers her freedom. Tearing becomes an act of release, while rebuilding serves as a means of understanding the world and our personal narratives. Her art often inhabits a space of “in-between”: between places, memories, and moments, all reflected in the colors and textures she chooses. Her work speaks to those who feel deeply, who carry many stories and roles, and who recognize a bit of themselves in what they see. Silvina's paintings are known for their bold honesty. Many viewers find her work familiar, as if each piece has always been a part of their world. An exhibiting member of the Federation of Canadian Artists, Silvina has also had her work featured as cover art for poetry collections, which she regards as meaningful collaborations between word and image. In her workshops, she shares this approach, inviting participants to explore collage, texture, and intuition to create work that tells their own story. https://www.instagram.com/silvinalanusseart/ https://www.facebook.com/silvinalanusseart/ https://www.youtube.com/@silvinalanusseart https://www.silvinalanusseart.ca/ Send us Fan Mail

    Creativity is Loving Life with Inna Segal

    Creativity through the lens of a best selling author and intuitive healer "It's all about allowing new ideas, new perspective, new colors come into my mind." Inna Segal is a pioneer in the field of energy medicine and human consciousness, and the bestselling author of The Secret Language of Your Body, translated into 26 languages and sold over a million copies worldwide. Inna's journey began as a young immigrant from Belarus, arriving in Australia at age nine without a word of English. The cultural dislocation, bullying, and emotional isolation soon manifested physically—psoriasis, digestive pain, chronic back issues, and anxiety. By 15, Inna was living in a body that felt unsafe and overwhelmed. Despite seeing multiple practitioners, nothing truly changed. At age 20, she experienced the stillbirth of her baby—an unexpected and devastating loss. In the weeks that followed, Inna spiraled into physical agony, emotional collapse, and profound hopelessness. After being told by a chiropractor that her body "wanted to be stuck," she reached a breaking point—and made a decision to try to heal herself. That night, she placed her hands on her back, began to breathe with the pain, and asked for help from something greater. With her eyes closed, she saw a golden light and a vision of her own spine. What followed was a spontaneous stream of memories and insights: from early childhood trauma, to ancestral grief passed down from her grandmother, to energetic patterns she had absorbed from others. The next day, 70% of her pain was gone. Within weeks, her skin cleared, her digestion healed, and her anxiety lifted. This was the beginning of her life’s work. By 22, Inna began helping others professionally. At 27, she released The Secret Language of Your Body, which became an international bestseller. She went on to write The Secret of Life Wellness and Understanding Modern Spirituality, based on her ten-year study of Rudolf Steiner and Anthroposophy.  She has also created seven healing card decks focused on archetypes, emotional healing, colour therapy, ancestral patterns, and childhood development. Over the past 25 years, Inna has worked with people from all walks of life—including doctors, nurses, psychologists, creatives, teachers, and trauma survivors. She has taught across the USA, Mexico, the UK, Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Caribbean—including government-sponsored programs in Mexico training medical professionals, police, and politicians. Her work helps people map the true origin of their suffering—emotionally, ancestrally, energetically—and guides them through a non-linear healing process that honors the wisdom of the body and the timing of the soul. She brings not only expertise, but lived experience of healing from loss, divorce, chronic illness, and narcissistic abuse. Today, Inna supports people worldwide through her online courses and free masterclasses—teaching how to work with emotions, chakras, childhood wounds, archetypes, and physical ailments. Her work is grounded in intuitive precision, emotional depth, and 25 years of direct healing experience. https://www.innasegal.com/ https://www.facebook.com/InnaSegalAuthor https://www.instagram.com/innasegalauthor/ https://ww.innasegal.com/new-masterclass-registration/ Send us Fan Mail
