AROUND THE FIRE 

Online gatherings for art and meditation.
A warm space. A creative spark. A return to what matters.
Around the Fire offers an intimate space to awaken creativity, embodiment, and presence. Through movement, meditation, drawing, and writing, we gather weekly in a small group to explore, share, and inquire through the body and imagination. 

FEEL INTO IT: Transforming through Performance Art

Online course + 1:1 Mentoring Sessions
Contact me to join 2026 cohort!
A unique online course opportunity that combines an online course to complete at your own pace + 2 individual sessions to schedule with me along the way. This course focuses on the history, approaches, and practices of performance art and embodied creation developed by myself. Together we dive into the medium and discover the potential it has to teach us about our body and the power of being present.

Testimonials

Having Guadalupe as my mentor has given me so many opportunities to advance my artistic practice. I have learnt to trust my intuition, believe in myself, and focus on doing what feels right to me rather than doing what is I think is expected of me. I learnt to trust the process, even though at times doing so can be scary. I learnt to allow the process guide me, while simultaneously setting goals and reaching out for new opportunities. I carry the lessons and words of wisdom she has passed onto me in both my practice and life." 
~ Chipo 1:1 Mentoring

"Before going through the Sensorial Visualities course I was feeling tense, stuck, and most of all: disembodied. Through the work together I let go of my anxiety of being judged by others, noticing instead my own internalized judgements of myself. I let go of the idea of "pushing" and instead adopted the notion of "holding" space. I also let go of my barriers around emotions and expression. It was transformative, meditative, formative."
~ Chris  (Sensorial Visualities Course)

"Through this course and the connections I made I significantly reduced my social anxiety. I also feel that I largely overcame any sense of disconnection I felt to myself and/or the world around me. The most impactful realization I had during this class considered just how deeply I could feel the reverberation of sound in my body. The degree to which I felt the humming of others was something I would have never expected and left me feeling very uplifted. Sensorial Visualities each week allowed to explore both myself and the world around me. It gave me a strong sense of community and taught me many excellent strategies to ground myself. It came together beautifully in the final performance and exhibition. It was an excellent experience."
~ Leo (Sensorial Visualities Course)

I would say I was feeling pretty lost with where I was/where I wanted to go. Not really sure about a direction and was just open to new things. Sensorial Visualities gave me a sense of community and embodiment especially being able to be a part of a journey together while witnessing at the same time. It was life changing <3 I felt a real connection with the things we’re learning and not only in a theoretical sense but the sensations we explored and learned together felt like we were teaching our mind through our bodies and that felt very revolutionary for me."
​~ Kira (Sensorial Visualities Course)

"This was an amazing experience, thank you so much, Guadalupe, for such an extraordinary learning process through this semester. She encouraged us to step out of our comfort zones (within reason) and experiment and explore any ideas we had. I am so pleased by her positive attitude and empathetic presence, I felt safe to really explore ideas I was feeling self-conscious about. I made such an amazing group of friends and it wouldn't have been possible without Guadalupe and her open perspective to talk about issues and ideas that are relevant to today's social and political climate. She is by far my favourite teacher I have encountered!"

Do you feel a creative spark that wants to come alive?
Perhaps you’re an artist longing to share your work more fully. 
Or maybe you’re a sensitive, intuitive person who has always felt creativity moving inside you, waiting for an opportunity, a sign.

We all need to create!
Creative expression is our birth right! It is in our nature. It allows us to grow, develop, and share our gifts with the world. My work offers a grounded pathway back to your creative body, your intuition, and your expressive truth. Through individual mentoring and group programs, I help both artists and non-artists reconnect with the deeper intelligence that lives inside the creative body, a knowing we lose touch with when we stay only in thought.

Do you long for true belonging? 
As we learn to inhabit the body with more attention and care, we open to a deeper connection with ourselves and others. We remember that belonging is not something we earn by fitting in, it is something we uncover by coming home to ourselves and following our creative truth. 
From this place, creativity becomes a source of vitality, confidence, intimacy, and expansive direction.
