Delicate Realms

.:. It’s a mini market crawl this year, as I listen to my tired-ass body and nervous system asking for rest (swipe for rare footage of my market gremlin face).

This weekend I’ll be at the holiday fair, the most charming European-style market with live carollers, wreath-making, oodles of fairy lights and delicious cider on tap. There’ll also be photoshoots, crafting stations, and lots of outdoor fire pits where you can cozy up and linger for the vibes.

Then next Sunday we have the Starry Soirée, hosted by Anna of and Elise of (and shoutout to the sweet who no longer lives here, but helped launch this market last year)! This one’s gonna be hella cute, with some very special vendors tba 💞

So come see me at one or both of these events for a 2026 moon calendar, a lovingly hand-beaded necklace, waterproof stickers (hello stocking stuffers), or a mini tarot reading to whet your beak with mystical yet digestible insights!

Next Saturday afternoon I’ll be leading a workshop that blends tarot study with hands-on creation. We’ll deep dive into the symbolism behind the 13th Major Arcana card, Death, exploring themes of surrender, transformation, and rebirth. After our discussion we’ll each craft our own version of the card, shaping resonant symbols and reflections into personal memento moris to take home.

I’ll be bringing an assortment of decks to pore over so we can get intimate with the imagery, and compare and contrast the different choices artists have made in portraying this transpersonal archetype.

Everyone is welcome, whether you’re brand new to tarot or a long-time reader. With our collective curiosity, the conversation is sure to be rich and illuminating! ✨🤍🦇🥀🌝

This event is free but limited to 12 spots, so be sure to RSVP at luma.com/hourglass.

Hosted in collaboration with Hourglass, a community space for discussing death and dying through creative mediums.

Sponsored by the City of Victoria and the Fernwood Community and Arts Association (thank you! and ) 🌹

I’ve been making big life changes and I’m finally ready to talk about it 🐛🦋🌀

Two years ago I had an epiphany, that emerged out of a dedicated dreamwork practice and one of the most profound psychedelic journeys of my life.

The revelation was that making art ~ like dreamwork, like tarot, like psychedelics, like meditation ~ is just another way of seeking to know thyself. And this process of inner investigation is the crux of what I’m most passionate about; what I live, breathe, and think about more than anything else. The exploration, the excavation, the integration.

And so as you’ve seen me here, running this little multi-hyphenate creative biz, behind the scenes I’ve been laying stones for a new path ~ volunteering and taking psychology courses and applying for grad school! And in the immortal words of Penny Lane, it’s allllll happening.

I’ve officially started my Masters of Counselling, to become a registered clinical counsellor in 3 years, with the ~ d r e a m ~ of one day having a private practise as a Jungian psychotherapist.

This journey involves many years of schooling, and I don’t know how the next decade will unfold exactly, but I fu***ng trust it and am here for all the learning & struggling & growing & grieving & becoming. It feels like I’m walking through a doorway that’s been standing there my whole life, waiting for me to knock at it. An inevitable portal.

As for Delicate Realms— I’ll still be here, but this business is changing as I change, in what ways I don’t fully know yet. For a while now I’ve yearned to disentangle my creative practice from capitalistic pressure. I want to have the space to make art that is more personal, more experimental, and more ambitious, as I begin to bridge the worlds of depth psychology and creativity— something I’ve dreamed of doing for so long, and finally can’t push down any longer.

If you made it here to the end of my confession, you are a real gem and I don’t know how I got so lucky. And to all the humans who I’ll one day work with and hold space for in psychospiritual exploration, I cannot wait for us to meet on the other side of this wormhole! 🪐🪷🤍
