Make Business Magic: Dive for Pearls today!

Pearl Diving at Jamie Ridler Studios

You don’t have to choose for between your creative soul and your strategic business.

As a creative entrepreneur, you want to build your business with authenticity, creativity and spirit. You also want clarity and success! How do you tap into your vision? How do you know what to do next? How do you know what you and your business most need?

That’s where Pearl-Diving comes in. Pearl-Diving is an intuitive journalling practice designed to get you in touch with the heart and soul of your work.

Love for Pearl Diving from Daria Jabenko

In this workshop, you will use collage and journalling to creatively:

  • Ground your wholehearted business in the truth of who you are by articulating your uniqueness.
  • Connect to the core of why you do (or want to do) this work.
  • Discover the essence of your target market – who are they and what are they yearning for?
  • Get clear on the value of your work – and what you bring to it.
  • Define personality characteristics of your brand.
  • Identify the core challenges that face you and your heart-centered business.
  • Open to your intuition and creativity for guidance.
  • Point your compass in the direction you and your work need to go.
  • Outline next steps and get ready to take them!

Love for Pearl Diving from Danette Relic

The Process of Pearl-Diving Includes:

  • Creating collage journal pages that will form a canvas for exploring and expressing what you discover on your dive.
  • Diving into your inner knowing through a process of intuitive journaling that will uncover pearls of guidance and wisdom.
  • Uncovering pearls of wisdom about who you are as a creative who is bringing (or longing to bring) her work into the world.
  • Discovering pearls of wisdom about the nature of your work and what it needs in order to develop powerfully and organically.
  • Exploring the alchemy of your collaged pages and journaled answers by bringing them together to gain new insight and deepened wisdom.

You will leave with:

  • Insight and clarity on what you and your business need in order to grow powerfully and purposefully.
  • Meaning-full, tangible reminders of all that you discovered, powerful touchstones that cut through the confusion, connect you to your vision and guide you on the way.
  • An adaptable and repeatable creative process you can use again and again to reconnect to the heart of your business and discover your next steps.
  • A heart-connection to the soul of your work and insight into exactly what your business wants to be.
  • Concrete next steps (I am a coach, after all!)

Is Pearl-Diving Right for You?

  • Are you creating and sharing (or dreaming of creating and sharing) your work with the world?
  • Are you committed to building this work by rooting it deeply in the truth of who you are and what you believe?
  • Are you willing to open up to your intuition and creativity – even if you never have before?
  • Are you ready to bring your business – and your self to life!

Pearl-Diving is designed for heart-centered entrepreneurial spirits who are aching to make authentic and powerful progress in their business or their work. The creative practice of Pearl-Diving can be applied to any work that you want to share with the world, whether that’s a business, a specific project (a book, a class, a blog) or a vocation. You can be at the beginning stages of establishing your venture or you can be ready to take it to the next level with deeper understanding and intuitive guidance.

No art experience required. This is a creative process that anyone can do. You don’t have to have any special artistic skills in your toolkit.

Things I Know For Sure (and why it matters)

Jamie and her cat, Jinx

In this beautiful community of creative independent spirits one of the deepest yearnings I hear is the longing to simply be who we are, to build a life based on our true selves and to express that self in all that we do. To my mind, this is our life purpose: to be who we are. It’s the most natural thing in the world and the most challenging. So how do we start?

It all begins with knowing who you are. Knowing your favourite colour or meal or outfit is not a trivial thing at all. Knowing that you love mornings and swimming and mangoes is part of the unique beauty of you. Knowing you’ve got a bad temper and allergies and a history of bad breakups is a part of that beauty too. Authenticity starts with knowing you, all of you.

An easy way to start is with the facts. It’s amazing how many things you actually know about yourself.

Some Facts About Me…

  • I live in Toronto.
  • I’m the eldest in my family.
  • I have an MA in theatre.
  • I wear contact lenses.
  • I have a cat named Jinx.

Then add some likes and dislikes. Knowing your preferences is a powerful way to be grounded in your choices. (By the way, developing a practice of creating dreamboards is a great way to get in touch with your preferences. That’s how I discovered my love of that gorgeous blue/grey/purple colour!) You can gather both very specific things and also more general thoughts.

Some Things I like & Dislike…

  • I like dark roast coffee.
  • I adore our red couch.
  • I dislike teasing.
  • I love popcorn and raspberries. Though not together.
  • I do not like shellfish. At all.
  • I love studio spaces: white walls, wood floors and room to move.

Another powerful thing to know about yourself is your values and by that I literally mean what you value, what you think is important. Identifying values is one of the first things I do with my coaching clients.

Some of My Values Are…

  • Freedom
  • Love
  • Adventure
  • Sovereignty
  • Magic

And what about personality traits? What do you really know about yourself? What have people always said about you? (Before you include it on your list, make sure you think it’s true) What may be true that you don’t share readily? What are your more prickly qualities?

Some of My Personality Traits Are…

  • I’m both sunny & enthusiastic and serious & driven.
  • I am emotionally brave.
  • I’m afraid of deep water, heights and flying (especially over deep water)
  • I live in wonder.
  • I am creative.

Spend some time with these questions and a journal or use this journal sheet I made for you..

If you dream of creating an authentic life, of expressing your true self, the best first step is getting to know exactly who that is.

Because I believe so deeply that the root of our purpose is to be found in this self-discovery, I created an at-home workshop to help. If you feel that some structure and a creative process would enhance your self-discovery, please check out Soul Reflections. I designed it for you.

In the Garden with Jamie: Peonies, Delphiniums & More!

Now that the peonies are in full bloom, I’m excited to share my garden with you once again. I’m so glad I took this video before the big tree fell!

You’ll also see where I found homes for my Yard Sale finds plus amazing signs of life from the hellebore! I’ll even reveal how I stole a plant back! Welcome home, Sedum Sr!

(See my first garden tour here and the next here)
