Welcome to “Ignite”
The programme for the woman who is no longer accepting the “sepia tone” version of herself, together we are creating the life of delicious delight that was always hers to begin with.
“Ignite” is a 5 week live programme where you finally become the woman whose life, relationships and art reflect the depth of your desires, instead of accepting the version of womanhood that generations of shame have normalised.
In the patriarchal world we live in, more often than not, women hold most of the domestic and caring responsibilities: it is tiring to hold everyone and everything together and always putting aside things that bring you joy and nourish you (eg: making art, a close relationship with nature, dancing). You have become so good at performing the “good girl” that you’ve forgotten who you truly are, and you have internalised the shame our society holds around women’s sensuality.
You have somehow fallen into this pattern, not because you don’t know you are destined for more, not because you don’t want to commit, but because we live in a society that forces women into a linear way being, doing, living: you are simply not designed for it. What you ARE designed for is to be connected to your sacral power.
A woman who is connected to her sacral power is fully present in the spaces she holds: daughter, friend, partner, mother, artist.
You become truly creative -no longer forcing life through your mind, intellect and ego- but creating from the flow of something divine working through you.
You move through the world with more joy, sensual delight and abundance and feel deeply fulfilled by your life.
This program IS FOR:
Women whose curiosity and depth can no longer be tamed. You are a powerhouse. You’re here because it’s time that you own that.
Transgender women are welcome here, fully. So are women without a womb. This work is about energy, not anatomy.
This program IS NOT:
An art workshop where you learn how to draw.
An easy ride — we go to the root, and we're bold about it.
A linear process. We engage body, mind and spirit as one.
A tantric workshop or therapy - if you carry deep sexual trauma, some of this work may open old wounds. I'd love to talk with you beforehand to make sure this course meets you where you are, safely.
I invite you to take 5 weeks of your life and make real time and space for simple but powerful practices.
I invite you to make real time and space away from everybody else’s needs and demands. This space is for you. These practices are for you.
Take it.
Hi, I’m Blandine.
I am an artist, a mother of two, a facilitator, a macrobiotic cook& health coach. I have participated in many transformational courses, and have received extensive training in producing programmes. I also love nature, rituals with all the candles, oracle cards and spirituality podcasts. Yes I am woo woo… And I like to reclaim what that means.
I have been a professional artist for 17 years, but really my whole life. I was that kid who wouldn’t let her pencils go. I trained as a fashion designer in womenswear at Central Saint Martins, but I felt it wasn’t quite for me. I created a very successful jewellery collection which ended-up in the windows at Selfridges on Oxford Street. And again, this wasn’t it. So I changed gear and went on to study an MA in painting at the Glasgow School of Art, where an excentric teacher told me to embrace my fashion background instead of hiding it: my first soft sculptures were born.
After that, I set myself up as a full-time artist, selling my work and exhibiting around the world. As I worked my way through the art world, I could also feel that something was missing, that I wanted to work with people, pass on what I have learnt over the years. So I started to run art workshops, from my studio and in art galleries. My interests around spiritual matters led me to facilitate women’s circles. And today, I have merged art and spirituality together, and I teach women to awaken their sensual, creative selves.
I believe that in the age we live in, what we need the most is women who are connected to their power, who will lead us into a kinder, fairer and more aligned world.
You will walk away with:
A set of simple practices and rituals to stay connected and embodied in your sacral power
Actual tangible pieces of art that serve as anchors to this awakening
A set of resources for life to support your practices
Your fire, sensuality and creativity re-ignited
A newly found joy and lust for life
Each week, you will step deeper into the well of your creative life:
Week One: the Womb, where everything begins…
We tap into Womb energy, the birth place of life, of the Cosmos, ideas, projects, art, businesses
Week Two: Beauty in its simplest form
Through simple yet powerful processes, we shift our vision and gather creative treasures that are hiding inside us
Week Three: intuitive art is easier than you think
We dive deep into artistic dreaming and visions, we let them come to us. We let ourselves be carried by intuitive line drawing, we watch in awe what appears onto the page
Week Four: all about that Vulva!
We tap into Vulva energy, the wild child, the one who doesn’t apologise for who she is, the place where we perceive the world from
Week Five: and now we celebrate!
We have taken a powerful journey together, we take stock, we sing, we dance, we paint, we acknowledge our partnership on the journey, we contemplate the road ahead.
TESTIMONIALS
“Blandine is such a wonderful artist and facilitator, with a unique approach to awakening women’s inner power through art and creative expression. I had the opportunity to participate in one of her workshops, and I can honestly say that it helped me deepen my self-awareness while also opening up new ways of experiencing and expressing my creativity. Blandine is knowledgeable in many different areas and brings such a warm, inspiring, and joyful energy to her work. What I particularly appreciated about her workshop was the way she brought together multiple creative and embodied practices, creating a rich and multidimensional experience. Through meditation, movement and dance, painting, music, and other forms of creative expression, she creates a space where you can explore yourself in a much deeper and more meaningful way. I would highly recommend experiencing Blandine’s work to anyone who wants to explore their creativity, deepen their self-awareness, and reconnect with their own inner power.”

“I left Blandine’s workshop quite amazed by how deeply I felt resourced and tapped in to the deeper knowing in my own body of what feels good and creatively resourcing – I even spent the whole weekend peacefully painting my insights. Blandine did a beautiful job of allowing us to both connect as a group of women exploring our creative energy together and also gave us space for deep introspection and movement in our own body. I’d highly recommend this profound and nourishing experience to others.”

“I’ve just attended a session with Blandine called “Women of the create fire.” Tapping into our sacral chakra and honouring our womb and vulva. If that sounds a bit too personal don’t be put off because Blandine has the ability to make you really comfortable and the emphasis is on our creativity and power and joy. The Womb seems very much like a safe space, a mother of us as well as the obvious magnificent birthing portal. I found myself imagining my arms surrounding and coming down to my hands becoming the vulva. A very earthing experience. Thank you Blandine for bringing my attention to this wonderful sacred space!”
