In this episode, Laura takes listeners on a deep dive into her transformative experience within a creative container with the incredible Francesca Filippa . Their journey together began on a full moon in Virgo, four years ago, and Laura is releasing this episode around that same celestial moment this year. She reflects on the synchronicity of their paths crossing and how Francesca’s A.R.T. Collective nurtured Laura’s creative expression and healing.
Francesca’s guidance allowed Laura to tap into the power of her voice, her art, and her raw truth. She shares how Francesca introduced her to her concept of A.R.T.: Aching Raw Truth — a powerful reminder that the most profound art comes from the place of our deepest wounds and vulnerabilities. As a mother, an artist, and a woman, the space Francesca created gave Laura permission to show up fully, without holding anything back.
In this episode, Laura also reflects on the act of transformation and rebirth, symbolised by the cocoon process, and how both motherhood and creativity serve as catalysts for personal evolution. She shares a piece of poetry she created during her time in the A.R.T. Collective and how it helped her reclaim her voice and sacred path.
This episode is a tribute to the beautiful mentorship and community Francesca has cultivated, and Laura invites listeners to explore Francesca’s upcoming offerings and relaunching of the A.R.T. Collective.
If this episode inspires you, Laura would love to hear from you. Whether it's a poem, song, or embodied writing, she encourages listeners to reach out and share their own A.R.T.
Together, we can co-create and support each other on this journey.
Happy Full Moon in Virgo and Total Lunar Eclipse, loves. Take a moment to cocoon, to let go, to pray and to allow yourself to emerge with your wings wide open.
