ROSLYNE SOPHIA BREILLAT

The beauty and wisdom of life and the earth are my profound and beloved teachers...

My professional training and experience includes art, design, illustration, writing, tarot, astrology, counseling and therapeutic skills, instructional skills and training program design...

Through mothering, loving, relating, creating, giving, receiving, being with the earth I deepen and open to the many gifts and blessings of this vast mystery...

Every moment contains the potential to dive more deeply, open more softly, yield more gently, surrender and trust more fully...

It is a blessing to facilitate creative art courses and workshops for indigenous children, teenagers and adults... I have learnt much through being with the wise and gentle ways of the elders... Working, creating and relating with the original custodians of this land is a humbling and empowering experience... My wonderful students are also my wonderful teachers... Through being with them I awaken to the harmony of connectedness and community, to a natural sense of place and belonging, to the pulse of the earth's ancient wisdom, to an inner space of silence, stillness, gratitude, to kuturu, heart, spirit, to dadirri, the deep wellspring of truth within...

Through working with many young people from difficult home backgrounds I have learnt much about the need for more love and compassion upon our earth, for the need for adults to pause, listen, relate and create from a place of inner wisdom and stillness... When we speak from our wisdom, our children shine, when we communicate from our hearts, our children are loved, when we acknowledge their gifts and talents our children thrive...

The workshops and courses I have taught include intuitive art and design, intuitive Feng Shui, interior design, psychic awareness, meditation, illustration, writing, herbs, astrology and tarot... I love witnessing the students' awakening of deepening awareness, joy, inspiration and their willingness to create within a heart opening space of nurturing, spontaneity and freedom... I am touched by their desire to embrace their natural intuition, creativity and profound capacity for healing...

The images I paint on paper and canvas seem to magically appear from an infinite wellspring of passionate joy and creativity... The shapes and colours spontaneously dance Roslyne Sophia within their own unique rhythm without planning or thought, without foresight or reason... I am inspired to paint the beauty of the earth in her many guises and I am inspired to illustrate the many aspects of woman... I enjoy creating images that bring the written word to life and I enjoy creating illustrations that enhance other authors' writing...

The articles, short stories and book manuscripts I am writing arise from a deep inner place beyond words or form... I love the way the written word has a life of its own that needs to be creatively expressed and interwoven within the vast tapestry of life...

As this beautiful earth transforms and flows within increasing upheavals of pollution, war, climate change, destruction and rebirth may we find inner stillness and humility beneath outer chaos, acknowledge the ancient wisdom of our elders, receive the blessings of community, honour the truth of love and relating, delight in the joy of inner peace, stillness, humility... May we unite with our true purpose within the beat of the one heart, the heart of the earth within us all...
