A 4 week creative immersion into self-worth enquiry through playful doodling, group connection and joyous creative freedom.
About this Event

I empower people to activate their trust in themselves, their intuition & creativity, and live as Sovereign beings, making their own choices & thriving in their own lives, on their terms.

Doodle Café is a safe, held space & permission to capture where you are right now at the apex of the multidimensional fields of heart, mind, soul, body & source, through childlike, curious exploration with all the colours.

A weaving of doodling, conscious intention setting, playful inner child joy and creative freedom.

Ways IN to inner knowing, to embracing the unknown and finding compassion for all that you are.

A chance to consolidate what feels right for you in the moment & consider the next steps for your wellbeing.

“The next message you need is always right where you are.” – Ram Dass

It’s a core invitation to honour every mark you make in the blank space to set in motion a ripple of gracious appreciation for self, soul & your unique expression.

‘If we took the smallest mark and recorded it, wouldn’t it be the beginning of your crescendo?’ (Do You Like Brahms – KDrama)

The intention is deep

The method is light


Core foundational truths

Human nature invites us to connect with others, ask for help & offer support to those around us. For many of us that process of unfolding the heart to connect and experience relationships / society / community may have been coloured by trauma, betrayal, grief & disappointment. And yet we choose to give and support others, because our soul calls us to contribute to the wider healing of all of us.

  • But are you looking after yourself too?
  • Are you ever putting yourself first?
  • Do you feel like you can do that?
  • How do others in your life respond when you put YOU first?
  • What would it mean if you GIVE from your OVERFLOW and not your reserves?

Burn-out & resentment happens when we GIVE and feed our self-worth from the external world, but pay little attention to our inner world, because when we focus on the external, we expect the rewards from the external. When we don't get that it harms our hearts. But perhaps we just swallow that and keep giving, because we never learned that it was OK to take a stand for our own needs.

I truly believe, that in these chaotic times, where more and more people are needing support, that those of us who can help, or must because of personal responsibilities MUST create stable, loving, compassionate responses to our own needs. For me, the basis of that self-worth comes through considering the following 4 truths:-


4 Pillars of Being
  1. I Am Enough
  2. I Am Love
  3. I Am Source
  4. I Am Present

In Doodle Cafe: Drawn to Self, we explore these core, foundational truths to discover where we need to allow ourselves to support our own journey of connection, light & inherent worth

A carefully designed, nurtured & facilitated creative immersion of: -

  • 4 x weekly 90 minute in-person workshops
  • Weekly home play – to help you digest your insights and keep you in the fun zone
  • Fully resourced with a delightful selection of all the pens, pencils, crayons & yummy mark-making materials you can think of.
  • You can bring a special notebook / art pad if you want to map your journey, but it’s not essential. Paper & folders will be provided.

It’s a weaving of doodling, conscious intention setting, playful inner child joy & creative flow underpinned by clear ArtyWisdom Values:-

  • Self-Responsibility as the Norm
  • Embrace your creative, playful, magical self
  • Soften the Self-Talk

Because if you're not in charge of your life, someone else will be. x



This is for you if:-
  • You can’t seem to pinpoint why things in your life aren’t how you want them to be
  • You realise that self-care is missing from your daily life but don’t know where to start
  • You are sick of feeling worthless or powerless in some areas of your life
  • You are fed up of listening to what others think you should do
  • You always wonder why you have no time for you
  • You’re not sure what self-worth is supposed to look like
  • You are ready to trust and back yourself wholeheartedly
  • You need a moment of stillness to reflect on where you are in your life right now
  • You are holding spaces for others and you need to refill your own well
  • You are yearning for real life connection and sharing of stories, to be seen, heard, and welcomed exactly as you are
  • You are ready to welcome fun, creative, simple art into your daily life and you know you don't need to be an artist to play.
  • You get as excited as I do over felt tips, glitter pens, sharpies….. I see you!

What do others say about the course?

About the facilitator

‘Vikki is an excellent facilitator. She listened and reflected back what was being shared so that we could all integrate and assimilate. Her guided visualisations were lovely and took me to magical places. Her timekeeping was spot on and respectful. Her energy and encouragement helped us to overcome our barriers to doodling freely. Thank you!’

‘Amazing! Bold, soft, welcoming, clear’

‘You were great. You were very good at the boundaries stuff and managing the time. Always found something positive and interesting to say about peoples' shares '
