Every act of creation is Sacred.

In our chaotic, fast paced, world, our nervous systems easily become over stimulated. Stress, one of the main instigators of inflammatory processes, can run rampant. As the mind and body run rampant, it's makes it harder to connect to spirt and hear from the soul. Fight or flight is real. Name it to Tame it work is a step. Rest to digest is part of health. To get there we encourage people to engage in the expressive arts, in moving motion, active engagement, that allows the mind, body and spirit to do what it needs and find a place of ultimate stillness and exhale.... and allow a new breath for a new day.


70% of adults identify as spiritual but not religious. Here we focus on the interfaith, integration of spirituality, honoring nature, mysticism, ancient traditions and expressive arts.


We are not here to Master the craft.

We are here to Master the moment.

To reclaim our connections

and breathe again.

To be still...

and find.

I call it Creative Wellness

These resources are created from a holistic, mind-body-spirit perspective, using guided imagery, meditation, reflection and multiple art making methods for restoration, catharsis and deeper understanding of ourselves.

Listen... Breathe... and Create...

Central to the practiced we teach is a process called Inner Revelations, an expressive arts Musica, Lectio and Visio Divina process.


First we, ground and center with HeartMath Breathwork Coherence, a simple practice.


Second, we listen to the music or read the poetry/verse, or observe the artwork. We do this multiple times (3-4) opening to the flow of what we are experiencing and engaging in deep listening and wonder.


Third, we allow ourselves to create and express through multiple artistic processes.


Finally, we share and give thanks and blessing for the experience.

    NaNa Spirit Guides is a vibrant, empowering workshop inspired by the bold and joyful NaNa figures of Niki de Saint Phalle, celebrating sacred womanhood and the wisdom of the inner wise woman.

You’ll be encouraged to automatic write without editing your thoughts and to move your body gently from freeze to flow, even in a safe seated position. The practice is revealing and fun.

  • Prayer Portals/Mandalas—Sacred Woman of Advent

    11/30/25: The focus in on making Portals: Prayer and Mantra Mandalas in the theme of The Sacred Woman of Advent. We will dive into the Sacredness of Mary (Way of the Rose) and all the women around her through a progressive, interfaith lens of creation. Process Mandalas become portals to spirit, prayer and blessing. In this process you are not creating a traditional, symmetrical mandala, but a process oriented mandala that can take any form, with any design, listening for whispers of spirit, where you write your received messages into the mandala and on paper next to you.

    

    This is a time where you’ll be invited to be a part of an interfaith, ecospiritually based, expressive arts experience. It’s a time for celebration, blessing, creation, singing, poetry reading and gentle movement expressing connection with earth, humanity, and have silent meditation, where you are encouraged to create.

    If you:

    • Feel a persistent call to create (art, music, dance, writing…)
    • Feel that what you create flows from an inward source that is larger than yourself - or want to
    • Feel a divine energy can guide and be in unison with your life as a spiritual practice


    This could be for you.

  • Add a titleInner Revelations Practice: Whispered Grace (Written Expressions)

    • Wednesday, December 3, 2025
    • 6:00 PM  7:00 PM
    • Virtual

    Part of our Inner Revelations practice based on the Divina’s expressed as poetic and expressive writing.

    The Quiet Fire - the inner stirring of Divine Creativity awakened through stillness and contemplative attention.

    Silence Sanctuary - a meditative visualization and inner space of stillness and contemplative attention.

    The Inner Meeting - the moment of communion between spirit, heart and soul; inspired by the Quaker sense of “gathered” silence.

    Whispered Grace - Whispered Grace is a contemplative writing practice within The Listening Way, where words emerge from silence as gentle offerings of the heart. Rooted in stillness and breath, participants listen inwardly until language begins to stir rising like whispers of Spirit. Rather than crafted or edited poetry, this is spontaneous, intuitive writing: a flow of words guided by presence rather than thought. Each line becomes a form of prayer, a movement of grace through the page. In Whispered Grace, writing is not about expression but revelation—where silence finds its voice, and the unseen becomes gently spoken.


Inspirational, One of A Kind Gift Ideas & Motivators

I offer customized, personalized, art pieces created from a meditative, channeled state where I can hear messages and allow the flow of spirit into art media that reveals Spirit Guides and Ancestors to appear. Blessings and prayers are channeled and written either into the work or on a separate sheet for you to have.


This process involves a consultation session, virtual or in person, where we meet, chat, and move into prayer and blessing. After I return to my studio, I engage in the process silently and create the art.

For Blessing Bags, we have a platica (heart to heart conversation) and in the process identify what healing stones, symbolic charms and healing herbs will be a part of your bag and the textile collage that makes it. I create your bag and in the process scribe the blessing that comes with it and it rolled as a scroll in the bag.


The final personalized piece I offer is a Prayer Mandala Portal. The process is similar as the others, and what results is an intricate, unique mandala with a talisman object in the center fusing the energy of the prayer between worlds.


Jes Wen'de Waters, Phd, MA, LCAC, LADC, ADDC, CCTP, CAGCS, CIMMHP, E-RYT500

As someone who is interfaith, I embrace spirit from wherever it comes. Christ, Buddha, Great Creator, the Divine Mother and Feminine, Earth… My path for decades involved exploration, Bhakti (devotion) and finding what I call God (energy) everywhere. Rarely did I find the Creator in the 4 walls of a church. But every time I picked up a paintbrush, or got quiet stitching, or found myself composing and not know where the chord sequence of music came from (as I was and am just a vessel in the composition process), I found the deepest spiritual experiences of my life.

As a Creative Wellness Coach, I offer integrative services that blend evidence-based methods with ancient and contemplative traditions. My work supports self-regulation, nervous system balance, and soulful recovery—helping individuals, educators, and spiritual seekers alike to rebuild well-being from the inside out. My specialties include working with individuals moving through addiction, trauma, grief, major life adjustments, and chronic illness.

As a licensed addictions counselor, I have found that the intersection of expressive arts, nature, spirituality and psychoeducation in the therapeutic process as well as combining holistic interventions, is a game changer for long term recovery.


The arts and spirit saved my life more than once in this process and I learned some deep spiritual lessons. I had a vision in 2004 when I started to record acapella vocalizing harmonies through a channeled trace process, to create an interwoven experience with my art, from the traditional media, but bringing it to life and giving it a soundtrack, to tell—the story—whatever story it was.


As an artist I show my work throughout North America and am proud to have been a 2024 Parade of Hearts HeArtist (Heart-Artist) with my piece Confluence: Where Many Paths Found Home and named a 2026 Parade of Hearts Artist for my design, Play On, KC! Having my work on Canyon Road in Santa Fe was the thrill of a lifetime and I show annually in the Healing Art Galleries in St. Joseph, Missouri at Mosaic Life Center. My music is on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music and Amazon Music as well as this site under Magnetic Wind, Jess12 Crows, Mesawzee (my ggggrandmother’s name).
