Every blade of grass has its Angel that bends over it and whispers, “ Grow, grow.” -The Talmud
Online Zoom Workshop
Julia shared generously her wide range of knowledge, drawing from many traditions. As a participant, I was showered with riches from the depth of her study on chakras, as well as her passion and skill with mandala making. Thank you!

Participant Experiences from Awaken, Embody & Illuminate Our Chakras Course, Awaken, Embody & Illuminate Our Nine Gates Mystery School Vows Course, and One Day workshops
“Julia is a highly skilled and dedicated teacher. All of us participating in the workshops (from various parts around the globe) felt very enriched and encouraged in our self-expression. I found great peace while doing the mandalas. We came to love and care about each other even though we had never met in person.
You will not be disappointed and will be pleasantly surprised at the beauty that will be channeled through you (even if you don't consider yourself talented or an artist in any way). I highly recommend working with Julia in any capacity!” - Pamela Pollock, OR, permaculturist

“Julia this mandala journey has been life changing and such a blessing. You are an amazing teacher.” ~ Heather Star Minowa, Japan

 Crown Chakra c 2011
"Julia is a born teacher and has a tremendous capacity to extract the artist in all of us through igniting our essence. When I came upon Julia I had probably not touched my pencil box since my twenties ( a long time ago!). She truly awoke something in me. I have been drawing ever since and my mandalas were recently used as illustrations for a book on meditation. I truly owe all these drawings to her." ~ Erika Shapiro, Yoga teacher, London

“I have loved this process, the learning, the sharing...and could easily go on and on deeper and deeper. It unlocked another door. So thank you Julia, and Deborah, for your guidance and your love, and to ALL for our shared bravery and vulnerability on this journey. It was sometimes challenging, emotional, and always profound.
I found our Mandala process to be very similar to the contemplative photography I practice and with similar outcomes. Both produce imagery that comes from the light center within – often times surprising us. When we’re in that space, where we’re so connected with our soul senses and we’ve let our mind go to no-thing-ness that’s the state of bliss where the creative magic happens.” - Lisa Winston, Ca, photographer

 Third Eye Chakra c.2011
"Julia Weaver is a gifted facilitator, artist and healer. Her deep sensitivity, joyful nature and synthesis of ancient and modern healing arts builds a playful and inspired container for the creative process. The Chakra Mandala series was a delight on many levels. The group process offered potent personal insights, while Julia's skillful artistic tutelage helped me cultivate my inner artist in a playful manner. I look forward more!" ~ Anne Douglas, Yoga Therapist and Teacher Banff, Alberta, Canada

 Kim Fisch c 2010 Purity of Heart
“Participating in Julia's teleseminar series was a deep, profound and enriched experience. In this supportive circle of healing sisters, I found a new way for me to explore the meaning of the vows we took during Nine Gates. The process surprised me; transforming vows from my heart, through my hands into the paper, observing as the mandalas take form before my eyes. I am grateful for this unbelievably transformative journey”.- Kim Fisch, Los Angeles, yoga instructor

Where the Lotus Blooms- 2nd Chakra
"It was your beautiful illuminated mandalas that brought me to the Webinar you were offering. Learning more deeply about the chakras through the mandala art experience was amazing! You provided such a safe, generous and heartfelt environment in which to explore and grow. I felt that by including visualization, breath, music and movement, you truly put your soul into teaching and sharing a holistic creative experience.
I actually stopped dispensing self-judgement about my art too! The connections and stories shared with other group participants will probably stay with me always. Thank you so much! " ~ Chandra Souza, Santa Cruz, CA

It was a privilege to have the opportunity to participate in your healing circle. I've always loved Art but was always fearful. I was surprised that I managed to let go of the fear and come up with something that seemed to arise from deep within.
As I look back on it, I believe it was your expert facilitation and encouragement that enabled me to surrender to the creative process. You created an atmosphere where being in class felt spacious, supportive and fun. -Janet Timbol, San Francisco |
Who am I? I am a vibrant star cascading through the chasms of consciousness, forever evolving, forever discovering new aspects of self!" (the mandala's voice) Thank you for the gift of your teaching the mandala workshops. It is an unexpected gift of constant inspiration; I just finished one on Abundance. -Cher Carden, New York

"Julia doesn't hold anything back! With her loving guidance, in just a few hours, we are able to create our own wonderful artwork. She taps into our creative force and inspires us to express it freely. Priceless!" (left: mandala before color, right: mandala with color added after workshop)

Thank you very much for a wonderful day...spacious, full of heart, a soaring spirit. I came with the usual attitude of "I am not an artist, here goes nothing" but your openness quickly disarmed that attitude. Julia, you are a master at seeing the best things and pointing it out so that I could see them too. Thank you so very much Julia, for a luminous day. -Mila Martin, San Carlos, CA

Under Julia’s open hearted and patient guidance, she expertly lead us through a beautiful and artfully crafted workshop to loose ourselves for a few hours in the Mandala making process.Even though we are not practicing artists by any means and all of us were new to Mandala making, we were immediately set at ease by Julia’s warm & generous spirit. Indeed, this is a deeply uplifting experience that allows you to touch something truly real within."
