Yes, it’s been absolutely ages since I last wrote here in this space – I’ve been super occupied by selling my house and moving to a completely new area and an everything-except-the-external-walls renovation project!
The dust hasn’t quite settled, but it looks like we’ll be almost ready for the cold, dark days ahead by the time of the autumn equinox!
Anyways, as I’ve been working on this renovation project, I’ve also been birthing some fresh, new projects and am particularly excited to make some announcements about those very soon – be sure to sign up for newsletter updates to hear about those as they land.
In the meantime, I’m glad to share some great news with you. I am teaching on Life Book 2018 next year! It’s been so long since I participated in anything outside of my own internal world – it’s a real challenge to head straight into this much-loved and prolific program.
Keep reading to find out more about Life Book 2018 – and how you can a win a spot right here and now!
If you aren’t already familiar with it, “Life Book, a celebration and honouring of YOU” is a year-long mixed media art class organised by Tamara Laporte from Willowing Arts.
Tam is joined by 23 incredible art teachers who are all gearing up to share mixed media techniques, tips and tricks with you. This year, Life Book is going to be bigger and better by including another 12 fantastic artists and wellness guides who will focus on additional personal development practices and other art modalities, like sculpting, photography & writing!
Themed around self-development and healing, participants create several loose mixed media art journal pages per month which by the end of the year they will bind into a glorious journal (a Life Book)! It’s a wonderful keepsake that you can treasure for the rest of your life!
If you join, you will also be introduced to yoga, aromatherapy, dance and other wellness exercises to help support your personal development journey more holistically.
You can find out a lot more about this wildly popular course (it has been joined by over 16500+ people in the past!) by following this link.
I’m already working on ideas for my class – and of course, it will be mandala-based!
Registration opens on September 12th 2017 and the class begins on January 1st 2018.

Shared your blog on Twitter and will receiver your newsletter from now on.
Love Mandalas…. I like to win a free spot in Lifebook 2018 because all these different teachers with different artforms are sooo inspuiting. I love to find my artsy inner me in 2018…
Hi Julie,
I’ve completed step 1 & 2!
I’d love to win a place on the course. We are in the midst of many changes – both of us have changed jobs (starting this week!!) and we are trying to get our autistic son a place in specialist education. We have home-edded him for 9.5 years and feel he is at a point where he is able to cope with others in an educational environment which will broaden his world. I have spent the whole of this year form-filling and learning law and fighting his corner to try to get him a place. Term starts today and we have no placement. The LA are over the legal time-scale to finalise and so the fight goes (relentlessly) on. We are by no means in the minority – this is a national problem.
So – my thinking is – by January 2018 we surely should have found him a placement which would mean, for the first time in 10 years, I would have some time in which to return to my former creative self!!! Or at least time to see if she’s still there!!!
Thank you for the chance – I wish you well with your home and hearth.
Done. Id love to try some of the other themes Tam is introducing next year
Hello, Julie
I’ve shared on Twitter (https://twitter.com/Cronesbones/status/904257796828536832) and signed up for your newsletter. I’m excited for Life Book 2018!
I’ve completed step 1+2.
I’m very exited!!! That sounds all fabulous!!! I want to be part of the LifeBook2018! The last years were very hard for me, I had my 3rd depressive episode and my father passed away this March after a long alcoholic disaster. Now it’s my turn and I want to do more for myself, be myself for the first time in my life. I think, LifeBook2018 would help me there to find my creative self!!! But i don’t have the money to join, so i hope that I’m a lucky winner. Sorry for my bad english, i’m from Germany.
Steps 1&2 completed, I would love to win a spot on the course as i have just left my job to persue a full time career as an Artist and this would be the most wonderful way of documenting the start of the journey, along with all the advice and guidance to support me.
Have post on Facebook & Instagram & passed it onto a friend who recently started on a creative journey after being terrified for the last 50 years of ‘Art!’ And that’s why I would love to win this opportunity of LifeBook2018 because being creative is allowing me to challenge all those things I thought were true & opening up to spaces I thought I had left behind many years ago xxx
Hello Julie! I have shared on FB & I am already on your mailing list. Life Book sounds lovely and I’m thinking of joining even as I’m finishing up Ignite (with Connie Solera) in early 2018. Hugs from here! Eleni
I have signed up and shared on Instagram.
I would love a spot in Lifebook 2018 because my younger son is about to head off to study for a masters degree but he has 2 chronic digestive conditions that affect his life in big ways so I end up on the other end of the phone multiple times a day giving emotional support. That takes a lot out of me and Lifebook would be my commitment to take care of myself.
Step 1 and 2 complete.
I feel a shifting in my being, my soul is crying out for some freedom of expression. Exploring this ‘calling’ I feel will be the key to a new consciousness. thank you for this chance x
I Love Mandalas and I’m happy that you will show us your pretty ones.
I would be very happy to win a free spot since I’m a huge fan of Tams Life Book. I’ve done only once in 2015 but til than I’m addicted to drawing and painting and putting my soul, my thoughts into something artsy. For 2018 I’m thrilled to see so many different styles that’s why I would be very glad to have a chance to join in. Wishing you a happy move and start in your new town/life and what ever might come. Thank you.

Shared on fb and signed up. Lifebook is literally a lifeline for me – Art journalling picked me up and dusted me down when I was at my lowest during post adoption depression. Lifebook means that I get a weekly reminder and push to create something beautiful and this creativity keeps me feeling good and like I have a purpose other than a mama
Hi Julie,
I’ve signed up for your newsletter, although I may have already done so since I’m in MM2017, I shared this post and would love to win.
By the way I couldn’t share the FB post (I could only do so from here) because there was no share option.
Cheers!
Hi! Mission Completed! Properly posted on Google+, already a subscriber to your news letter. I employ my creativity as a means of self expression and world exploration, for both myself and folks I serve. I provide group creative sessions which employ mindfulness based activity, yoga, meditation, hiking and creative activity, ranging from watercolor to coloring. I believe that when one engages their attention upon creating, our more destructive patterns of self criticism and negative self chatter are lessened. Thanks for an opportunity to win a spot to participate! Doing so, would allow me to psrticipate in both your Mandala Magic 2018 AND Life Book 2018 …what a creative POWERHOUSE year … WOWZA!
I am now in my second year of mandala magic and have really enjoyed it. I would love an opportunity to be part of the life book as I will be able to continue this journey of self discovery using the art process.
I made a Life book every year with my personal evolution (because as coach and healer) I continue to work also on myself 🙂 This year I follow the Magic Mandalas 2017 and I thought to work like this next year, mix mandalas and reflexions, exercices, channelings, …
Moreover I always ask the persons (clients) to have their own “journal” to see their evolution and I wanted to introduced sometimes some mandalas if they are interested to fond their innerself like this. So this will always help and more important very joyful for me 🙂
Shared on Google plus and signed up for your newsletter. I enjoy learning from so many amazing artists. Thanks for the chance to win a spot.
I have completed steps 1 and 2. I feel this would benefit the much neglected inner me.
Hi! I have shared this exciting news on my Twitter feed. I was given this year’s LifeBook as a gift, I want to win a spot as well as help those who are affected by the hurricane in Texas.
Hi Julie – shared on FB and signed up for your newsletter. Would love to win a spot in LB 2018 and spend a year with such a wonderful group of creatives. It would definitely be good for the soul. Thanks for the opportunity! Cheers!
I would love to win a free spot on Life Book 2018. I’m ready to make a change in my life now.
Have shared the giveaway, am signed up for your newsletter and would love a spot in Life Book 2018, have enjoyed working with you in the past, look forward to doing it again!
Dear Julie,

Have shared your post on FB and I already receive your newsletter. I would love to win a spot on Lifebook 2018 as I would like to explore more on self discovery art and healing through art. The variety of teachers is amazing.
I was already subscribed to your mailing list … shared on Facebook.
I would love to discover what Life Book has to offer: all those different inspiring teachers, discovering more of my (still partially hidden) creativity, getting more insights, offering myself a wonderful present of growing consciousness …
I’m convinced that what I can learn in 2018 will benifit my workshop participants too!
I have indeed completed steps 1 and 2. Very excited about the depth and variety of the classes for Life Book 2018! Can’t wait to dip in!
Done! What a great addition to life book you will bring 😉 Love both venues – posted to fb, love the newsletter. LB 2018 looks so promising, would love to win a spot… like vitamins +++
completed step 1+2. i would love to join mainly because i’ve been detached and disconnected to my artistic side and i really feel i need to rewire myself back to that…exploring and enjoying nit only colors, but shapes and creativity in all forms…
Tweeted! Already a subscriber! Thrilled to see that you’ll be a teacher next year – I’ve been in Life Book for several years now, and everything about it is why I want to continue with it next year: the fabulous inspiring teachers, the supportive community … thanks for a chance to win a spot!
I’ve done both requirements. I would love to win because I’ve heard so much about it and haven’t ever signed up for it. So many great artists involved including you!
Subscribed and shared. Thanks for the opportunity to win a spot in Lifebook 2018. These courses opened up my artistic world and I’d love to continue my journey!
Congratulations Kathy – you’re the winner of the free place on Life Book 2018. Look out for an email soon confirming details. Big love + mandala magic xo
That looks really exciting and can’t wait. I’m already subscribed and shared x
Hi Julie! I’m already signed up for your newsletter 😉 I shared the giveaway on FB as that is the only social media sight I belong to. Thank you for the opportunity to win. YAY!
First two steps completed. Shared on Facebook and it said I’m already subscribed to the newsletter.
I’d love a spot as I’ve overcome some challenges this year and have experienced great loss. I find myself growing through these experiences and would love a chance to express myself artistically. Thank you, and good luck to all.
Shared on FB and signed up. I would love to win a spot to continue my healing and art journey. I first joined LB in 2017 and I can’t even begin to put into words how it helped me through some of my darkest days – love the art, the community, the teachers – everything!!!
Hi! Love!!! Want to try your mandala lesson next year in LB! I´m new this year and it´s awesome to learn from so different artists! My way is long, I´m a beginner! So I want to stay another year in LB! Thank you for this chance! All steps done, shared you on Instagram, I´m bysusuko.
I posted on Facebook and already subscribe to your newsletter! This array of artists will be so inspiring as they take us on an art adventure…all in one place. No driving necessary. Excited to begin
I’ve completed steps 1 & 2. After having participated in Mandala Magic, I know the power of combining personal development with expressive arts. I also enjoyed being part of a worldwide community of women on a similar journey. This new offering looks really juicy.
I’m so excited about Life Book 2018! I shared your page on my Facebook and comment on your blog! I have my fingers crossed!!! ❤️
Shared the link for Life Book 2018 to twitter and instagram.
I would love to win a spot for the 2018 course because I am in a rapid place of personal growth and I feel it would be the next level for me.
All done, would love to take part to play creatively with a little guidance from different teachers and continue my self-discovery journey with art making. Thanks for the opportunity.
I completed step 1 and 2! I would really love to win a spot on Lifebook2018. So I can further develop my own style. And find some peace in and through my art . Thank you for the opportunity!!
I have completed steps 1 & 2. To win a place on the course would be a dream come true. I love art, art therapy and healing. It sounds like bliss
Thank you so much for this opportunity, Julie. I’ve posted the Life Book 2018 link on Face Book and I am signed on for your newsletter. I appreciate the chance to have a spot in Life Book 2018. With so much going on in the world-at-large, and especially for Mother Earth and all of her beings, I continue to experience constant change and shifts in my personal world. Life Book 2018 will allow me to my own creation and creative life forces within me that are still tucked away safe inside and give me expression that I can then share with others and the world. The power of prayer within each Mandala. Life Book 2018 will also provide me with the community that I have been asking for. And, in community, we can encourage one another through these shifts and changes by birthing, creating, and bringing forth beauty for ourselves, each other, and those around us.
Thank you, Julie!
I have completed the two steps. So excited and thankful for the opportunity to win a spot on Life Book 2018!! It would be a year of anticipation, joy, and creativity!!
Hi Julie, I would love to win the free place on Life Book 2018. I did your free Mandala course a while ago & have been dabbling in mixed media this year. I would love to go deeper & explore further. I have incurable secondary breast cancer & art has very much become my therapy over the last few years. I’m sure I’d really benefit from the course. I’ve shared it on Facebook just now x
Hello beutiful thank you for all your inspiration. I love your mandala work. I am already member of your news letter but shared on my fb. Love k
I would love to win a space on life book 2018 as I’ve managed to take part in life book twice over the last few years and it has been a weekly retreat and replenishment for my soul and I am not sure that I will be able to in 2018 as I am extremely financially challenged at the moment, it’s odd how much this means to me, I’m hopping around this blog hop like crazy hoping to be lucky, anyhoo that it honestly why I would like to win a space ❤️
Hi Julie already a subscriber and was wondering where you went wink wink 🙂 I adore lifebook have been involved since 2014 and can’t imagine not continuing.. I am hoping to win a seat this year.

I have shared on google+ 🙂
Thank you
I completed steps one and two and want to join Lifebook 2018 because I think it will enrich my life.
Hello! I signed up for your newsletter and shared your post on Facebook and Twitter. I joined Life Book in 2017 for the first time and love every moment of it. It has helped keep me sane through a very tough period in my life as well as giving me new techniques and skills from all the various artists. I’m excited to see what Life Book 2018 has in store for us and hoping I can continue with it in my journey by winning a seat. I LOVE creating mandalas! They are my “go-to thing” when I get stressed or start feeling disconnected. I can’t wait to see what you bring to Life Book! You can see some of my mandalas on my website.
Can’t wait for Life Book 2018. Your mandalas are amazing! I shared on Facebook and signed up for your newsletter. Thanks so much for the chance to win.
I shared to Facebook and I already subscribe to your newsletter which is how I knew about your participation in the blog hop! I would love to join Lifebook 2018 because it is a course that nurtures my soul, encourages healing, teaches me new techniques, and brightens every Monday! I am especially excited about the new wellness additions to the program and teachers like you to learn from! Thanks for the opportunity to win a spot…and welcome back!
Life Book 2016 was a wonderful journey, I had fun and learned a lot. The line up of teachers for 2018 looks fantastic! How could I not want to do it again when this next round looks to be an even deeper wholistic adventure. I shared on Facebook and tagged you. Thanks for a chance.
I have learned art from online classes the last few years. I love classes that help me to grow artistically and spiritually. That’s what Lifebook is all about. Thanks for the opportunity to win a spot in this class. Peace, Ronda
I shared on Twitter and signed up for your newsletter.
The reason that I would LOVE to win a spot is because I have always wanted to take Lifebook but could never afford it. I am now a disabled widow on a fixed income. It would be a dream come true for me to learn from each of the teachers. I love learning new techniques.
Thank you so much for the chance.
Shared on Facebook and signed up for your newsletter. After doing Lifebook 2017 Id love to continue on the journey into 2018 as I absolutely loved it. So many talented teachers and new techniques to learn. Great stuff. 🙂

I would love to attend Life Book 2018
Oh, wow! What incredibly beautiful and meaningful work. Every day of this blog hop, I get more and more excited about Lifebook 2018. I would love to win a spot. I am taking Lifebook for the first time this year and I have experienced amazing transformations in my life. I have rediscovered my artistic side (my sister was an artist growing up, so I sort of shied away from it) and also my creative writing. I am a writer for work, but I had been blocked from doing writing for myself (journaling) and creative writing. I’ve taken both back up again and it’s been amazing to gain insights into myself in that way. It is also helping me with my professional work. And I’ve discovered feminist spirituality lately, which is also opening up lots of doors in my mind. I’m so grateful. Thank you for the chance to win a spot.
Great blog, Julie. Thanks for the chance to win a spot next year. I have shared the page and signed up to the newsletter. I’m really excited to take part next year and continue with my third Lifebook adventure. The new format looks great and it will be really interesting to see what everyone brings to the course ❤️
Wow! What a fantastic opportunity! I am already a mail subscriber, so nice to hear from you again! I shared the link on my social media sites too!
I really hope to win this course, it would make me so so happy! I loved your mandala course, and this course sounds equally exciting!!! Coming out of a very challenging couple of years, this is just what I need to get back on track and start making art again, for real. I feel as if I need to take a fresh look at things and the teachings of this course would certainly help me to do that and propel me towards my future as a full time artist!
Excited to hear about your move, I had to more three times in the last two years, I know how hard and stressful it can be, but also exciting, and I hope you are doing well. Good luck with everything, hopefully see you online during this course and social media. Very thankful for this opportunity, thank you thank you thank you! Namaste xxx
Hi! Signed up to Newsletter, Shared on Social Media. I would so love the chance to do LIfe Book 2018, i would love the oppotunity to learn and learn so much. I am a late Bloomer and really need to learn so much. And by the way, i have never seen mandala’s like yours, they are fantastic.
I signed up for newsletter and posted the link to twitter.
I’m looking forward to lifebook this year, because is sounds even more amazing than ever. It’ll be great to learn new art and self-care techniques.
I need a ‘life break’! I really cannot afford to buy art lessons at my age (im always saving up for my yearly property taxes =) ) and would love to do even a portion of lifebook 20 any year! I am fascinated by the artwork of others, how they view the world and their part in it. Try as i might i cannot find where i fit. I wonder from here to there, always loving my art, crochet, tatting, bobbin lace making, drawing, painting, journaling, but never finding me. I see a glimpse now and then. I always come back to painting. Being self taught and winging it most of my life, i would love to watch real artistry at work. Thank you for this opportunity to invest in self.
I’m so excited for all of the new content in LB2018! It’s been amazing this year and I’ve learned so incredibly much and I’m looking forward to continuing my artistic journey!

Hi! 🙂
I did step 1 and 2
I would love to win a spot on Life Book 2018 *Jeyhhhh* 😀
I need it to keep my creative juices flowing <3
Greetings from Reykjavik Iceland,
<3 Sigrún Linda
I have completed steps 1 & 2
I would love to be a member of Lifebook because the teachers are so awesome and the community is wonderfully supportive. I need to do this for myself and I need a supportive community to keep me moving forward. I took a Mandala mini class several years ago. Playing with and coloring in Mandalas is so relaxing and helps me calm my crazy thoughts. I am looking forward to expanding my creative comfort zone and trying new things. And making new friends.
I shared your blog post on Twitter and Google+. 🙂
I’d love to be a part of LB 2018 because it’s changed my life in so many ways. I don’t think I could live without Life Book, some days it’s what makes me get out of bed in the morning. I struggle with chronic pain so art means a lot to me. I’ve grown a lot as an artist and also as a human thanks to Life Boo, life would feel really empty without it.. And the community is just amazing to be a part of too, so much love and compassion! <3 I'd really love to keep on learning and evolving.
Good morning, Julie. I’ve shared the link at Facebook and Twitter. And I’m already signed on for your lovely newsletter. I’ve no real mission statement about getting into LifeBook 2018 except that I’ve never been able to sign up for it. And so I am curious where that journey will lead. Thank you for the opportunity. Best of luck to everyone here.
hi Julie. signed up for your newsletter and shared on twitter (theresapeterma1). It’s time to continue working the healing side of my life – art and non-art related. thanks so much for the chance to win a spot and thanks as always for sharing.
Hi Julie
I have shared on Facebook, I am already signed up for your newsletter.
I would like the opportunity to explore, expand and experiment all the different art mediums available on the Life Book course. I have always had an artist inside and gradually she is emergering despite the fear that I ‘can’t do’ art, drawing, painting etc. I have been on my own personal spiritual journey for many years but feel it would be rewarding to find a course that embodies both.
I’ve completed steps 1 and 2. I am ready to start this journey and open to what it will bring. 🙂
I would love to join Life Book 2018 because I had some serious life changing years and try hard to create more art in my life to remember, how colorful this world is.
Shared it on my Google+!
I competed 1 and 2. I have learned so much from Lifebook and am waiting to learn more on my journey. I have sewed and done silk ribbon embroidery for years and am now learning painting and journaling and loving it. Lifebook has taught me so much but I have so much more to learn.
Three years ago I started this beautiful adventure with LB and I would like to win a place to continue enjoying it.
Shared, signed up, and would love to resume taking LifeBook after taking a year off!
Steps 1 and 2 all done! Thanks so much for this opportunity, Julie. I’m very much looking forward to seeing the new LB format with added crafts/mediums. I’d love so much to win a spot. Hugs from Spain!
I competed STEPS 1 and 2. I am now in my second year of mandala magic and have really enjoyed it. I would love an opportunity to be part of the life book as I will be able to continue this journey of self discovery using the art process. I am committing this coming year to a personal healing journey and will be reflecting that journey through my art. I have rearranged my home and set-up my studio. I would appreciate the support of the Life Book process as I work to adjust my life.
Shared on Twitter! Thank you for this opportunity. This feels like a good time to start something like this.
Hi Julie! Many of my favorite artists all in one year-long course, and many more artists I have yet to meet – I’d LOVE to win a seat! I’ve shared on Twitter (https://twitter.com/ShamhatsMusings/status/904933746939494400) and subscribed to your newsletter.

Done! I would like to learn how to do mandalas 🙂
Hi Julie!

I would like to win a Life Book spot because I’ve taken this course before and know how amazing it is. I would like for my sister to experience that, so I would like to give the spot to her as a gift. I know she would get a lot out of it.

I am already a part of LB 2017 and I’d love to stay for another year! It’s inspirational, full of learning the new facets of yourself, boldness and experiments! I truly love it and enjoy it!
I have to say that 2017 is a big year for me. I am 34 year old but it feels like only this year I am learning to be myself, to live my life, to feel happiness without any special reason, no matter what happens, and to be thankful for every experience I meet daily. Life book took a big part in this growth of mine!
Steps 1 & 2 complete.
I love mandalas! I’m getting so excited with all of the new artists, practices, and ideas being presented for LifeBook 2018. Thanks for a chance to win a spot!
Hi Julie, I’m so glad you’ll be a teacher on Life Book! I’ve shared the link on Facebook and I am subscribed to your newsletter. I haven’t done anything creative since my mom died and winning a spot in Life Book 2018 would really spark joy in my heart.
I have shared your link on FB and Twitter, and am subscribed to your newsletter. Thank you for entering me in the draw for your Life Book course. I am in a deep, often painful and frightening, transitional phase of life, and have found your Mandala Magic work revelatory. Thank you for the deep work you are doing and for sharing process and commitment via modern technology with love.
Hi! Hello! Howdy! I did it! I completed steps 1 with sharing on google+ and 2 signed up for the newsletter!
Please know that I am a mandala lover 🙂 Please know that I would love to have a space in Lifebook 2018! I am a huge fan of Tam and this GEM she has created! I would so just love to feel the feels of engaging in and being part of such greatness traveling through what Lifebook has to offer! I feel that I could further my goodness journey if I were chosen! Thank you so much for this opportunity-you are so kind to offer this! Again… Lifebook is such a GEM!

Blessings to you!

Have done #1 & 2. Would love to do Life Book again, missed this year and didn’t do to good the previous year. Doubts have caused hesitation, then months of inaction, but this year I have been pushing myself to just let go and play and things are moving in the direction of renewed creativity and trying to see myself as an artists, not just a dabbler. So would love to do Life Book next year, I need to challenge myself and step outside my comfort zone and try different styles of art and learn to be freer.
Posted to FB and signed up for your newsletter! I’m a longtime admirer of LifeBook, and love the idea of working through my mandala blocks (I don’t mind looking at them, but the idea of making/drawing a mandala is frustrating to me before I even start, so hopefully this will help me find peace with the mandala).
I have completed 1 & 2 and would love to win a spot in Life Book 2018! All of the Artists have such amazing talent and I have so much to learn from each of you. I am so happy that you are part of Life Book this year 🙂
I shared the link on Google+ and signed up for your newsletter. 🙂
I would love to win a spot on Life Book 2018! I’m currently taking Tam’s Ever After 2017 course and learning from different artists is so much fun. I’m working on developing my own style and would like to do a children’s book at some point with my art. I’m a published author and being able to combine these two loves, well that’s a dream of mine and Life Book 2018 can help me make that happen.
Thank you so much for this opportunity! 🙂
I think it is a wonderful opportunity to self development. Last year I started working with The Mandala Art book from Susan Fincher and I am so grateful for the insights and the bliss that brought to my life and projects.
I would like to join to these multidisciplinar workshop and know all the inputs these different artists might offer and keep developping this artistic self knowledge path.
Thank you.
Have completed steps 1 & 2, :)- would love a place of this CRAFTY Lifebook 2018, so many amazing teachers, can’t imagine not starting 2018 without lifebook 🙂

I would be a part of this community LB18, because i would like to incorporate creativity into my daily life with small acts of imaginative exploration, sparks of inspiration, playfulness. And i would be so honered to be teach by this awesome group of amazing artist teachers.
