Lisa Rasmussen, MFA, Founder of Harmonia Institute is a valuable asset and remarkable resource for any groups planning retreats, workshops and gatherings of women committed to healing arts, creative arts, spirituality, and evolving consciousness of women across the globe.  Lisa is a master retreat model-leader, holistic life coach,  and facilitator of arts; engaging depth of courageous inner learning of self/other in relation with sacred life journey. Her talents and gifts invite, inspire, guide and evoke women’s inner hunger for growth and personal discovery of divine feminine energy; she does this through radical empowerment via creating each person’s personal passage into and through creative arts, aesthetic, intellectual and experiential integration/synthesis.

Lisa’s Harmonia Institute combines the finest of arts diversity and expertise. Her skills are in guiding, leading, connecting and coaching women through artistic/aesthetic expressive, creative art experiences, such as mandalas, journaling, sculpture- making, circle sessions, yoga,  mask- making, ancient teachings of Goddess energy and wisdom. The outcomes evoke awe, awakening the human spirit and divine energy of the Cosmos. As she pursues her personal/professional heroine journey she takes you with her for a repatterning and rebirth of self/other in relation to sacred journey of life.

"At the deepest level, the creative process and the healing process arise from a single source. When you are an artist, you are a healer; a wordless trust of the same mystery is the foundation of your work and its integrity." ~ Rachel Naomi Remen, MD

Lisa Rasmussen and I have known each other over two periods of time. When I first met Lisa, she lead an transformative art workshop which I was attending. I found her to be an excellent workshop leader, facilitator, compassionate coach through all the experiences and activities encompassed in our workshop. Today I am working 1:1 with Lisa in a coaching format. I have started a small business and admired Lisa’s connectedness with social media. This was the intent of our coaching session but it has become clearer how transformative a coaching process can be. At an individual Ievel, I am continually amazed by Lisa’s enthusiasm, her ability to grasp a personal/professional situation, and the wealth of knowledge and resources available to her. She shares all this so generously and is there in process and support. Lisa embraces the  meta-view of situations and graciously leads one to take a larger view as well. I would highly recommend working with Lisa either 1:1 or in a workshop setting. You will come away enriched and inspired.

A  Basic Harmonia Practice Full Moon Ritual:


 Reflection: What is being illuminated for you?

✧ Find a few, quiet moments you can be quiet & still. (*Bonus if you can steal some time in the moonlight.)
✧ Light a candle. Call in the Archetype Goddess Artemis and take a few deep breaths to ground & center.

✧ When you're ready, ask yourself:
What is being illuminated for me tonight? What do I need to see?

✧ Write freely and automatically, whatever comes up for you. Don't think about it, just write whatever is on your mind, bod, & spirit. This is a really meaningful way to connect with you inner voice. Just let whatever comes up. flow out. You can also draw an oracle card for guidance.

✧ Last create your Goddess Artemis Full Moon Creatrix Mandala with the DIY template below. Post any insights and comments below. Enjoy the energy and transformation.

    Muse and Artivist

    Lisa Rasmussen MFA is the Founder and Director of the Harmonia Institute. Lisa Rasmussen—artist, educator, curator, life coach, arts and healing practitioner, and art advocate—believes art can change and heal the world.

    Lisa is the Co-Founder and Practitioner of Artemis Sacred Journeys. Which women's empowerment retreats to Tinos Greece. Rasmussen also served as Executive Director and Co-Founder of Art 4 All People and AY Atelier Art, an international Center for arts and consciousness in Malibu, CA. She is also Co-Founder/Co-Director of the non-profit, Art is Moving and International Art Break Day, an annual community arts event that has been held in the U.S., India, Mexico, and West Africa.

    Rasmussen is an award-winning professional painter, who has been represented in galleries in both San Francisco and Los Angeles. As well as Lisa’s work has been in numerous solo and group exhibits and publications. For her painting is a very visceral, physical, and metaphysical process. Rasmussen’s paintings have been called abstract expressionism, with a spiritual twist. Her paintings reflect her holistic worldview and her deep connection with the natural world. For Rasmussen, art making is a transcendental experience. When she paints, Rasmussen taps into a force greater than herself; a force that creates through her. Each painting is a product of her dance with divinity. Through her process she hopes to invoke in herself and the viewer a deeper connection to the world within and around us through reflection and inspiration. Early on Lisa developed a thirst for travel and distant cultures. A key conceptual element of her artistic process is the study and travel to ancient cultures and sacred sites around the world. Some of her travel adventures include Nepal, Greece, Egypt, Peru, Ireland, and Brazil. She has also lived and taught English in the mountains of South, China, as well as she had studied antiquities, the Art of the Renaissance, and Ceramics in Florence, Italy.

    Rasmussen is also known as a pioneering and passionate arts educator. For many years, she has taught art to residents of under-served, at-risk communities. In 2006, she created the Transformative Art Program at a mental health institute in Oakland, CA for emotionally traumatized youth, ages 5-14. Her art therapy program to create public youth art installations and gallery exhibits garnered awards, grants and media attention.

    Rasmussen worked as a fine arts consultant at the prestigious Merrill Chase Gallery in Chicago and The Weinstein Gallery in San Francisco. She also managed The Red Door Gallery & Collective, a grassroots art-reach gallery in Oakland, CA. Rasmussen earned her BA in Sculpture and Ceramics and her MFA in Arts and Consciousness from John F. Kennedy University in Berkeley, CA. She earned several academic awards, including Graduate Student of the Year, in 2008, and Alumni of the Year, in 2013.
