What if ... your life is and was a Mystery School? Make Things Know Thyself. Dwell in that possibility.
~ Lisa Rasmussen MFA |

I was born extremely hyper sensitive and shy. Growing up my Dad had PTSD, so there was a lot of chaos, violence, and lots of love in my home. My Mom was an Artist and guided me into using the power of Art to express myself. In recollection, I had my first major Social Phobic panic attack in school when I was around six. Art became my way of navigating in this sometimes scary world. Literally Art has saved my life, many times. Art has healed me. By the time I got to my late teens, I became really Emo and I became a Goth. At this time my art became an expression of my internal and external angst. I was really treading in the dark world. Then when I was eighteen, I was in a very bad car crash. I had passed out and at that time I had an Out of Body Experience. From that brush with death and from the experience of having my spirit leave my body. I completely transformed. I become hungry for mysticism and self growth. I became a seeker. My Art transformed from being dark into transcendence. I began painting mystical landscapes and my dreams. Art transformed into my teacher and healer. During the creation process I would have Kundalini rushes and felt a spiritual high from the creative process. I also began the practice of witnessing my art and seeing what new information and wisdom it had. I feel deeply in love with the power of art. Painting obsessively at night, I began working in the fine art world selling Picasso's and Chagall's. Then 2001, I had the opportunity to teach ESL in the South of China. That experience changed my life and my trajectory. I fell in love with teaching. In undergraduate school I took a job working with at-risk teens called the Teen Art Explosion at an Alternative Highschool. All of these youth had been kicked out every school possible and this was their last chance. There I taught these youth the Transformative power of Art. One of my proudest memories was when 24 of teens' dream artwork got published in the International Association for the Study of Dreams magazine. That is when I decided to get MFA at JFKU in Berkeley in the Arts & Consciousness program. To really explore the deeper transformative nature of art and its amazing process. While getting my MFA, I took a job working as an Art Therapist at a mental health institution, Lincoln Child Center Oakland. I taught these emotionally traumatized youth the power of art to heal and to transform. It was profound that the most traumatized of children thrived in the art room. My kids (my students) dubbed it the calm room. In 2008, I received the Holistic Studies graduate of the year award for my MFA Graduate Exhibition and my work with Children at Lincoln. In tandem with my Art Therapist work, I had opened a non-profit called Art is Moving with Lauren Odell Usher Sharpton. Whose mission is to get everyone in the world to take Art for their well being. In 2010 we created our first Art Break Day in the Bay area with five sites. Setting up art making sites for strangers sit down and take art breaks for free. The next year Art Break Day went international and to date we have facilitated over 63,000 Art Breaks. In 2010, I left the Bay Area and moved to LA. There I opened Sanctuary for Arts & Healing in Malibu with Fellow Alumnus, Ceylan Hulya called Art 4 All People. We curated arts and healing exhibitions. As well as we developed a new arts and healing practice called YogArt. With YogArt we led workshops, teach trainings, and retreats. In 2015, I created the Harmonia Institute which is an extension of YogArt, where I teach the Harmonia Practice in workshops, life coaching, and retreats. In tandem with Harmonia, I began a Retreat program called Artemis Sacred Journeys with Mary Rockwood. We host international women’s empowerment Retreats in Tinos Greece. So for over seventeen years I have been teaching the transformative power of art to many diverse populations. My central focus with Harmonia is women's empowerment through the creative and holistic processes. Where by incorporate doTerra essential oils and various powerful holistic practices. Thus far my journey has been one of art, transformation, world travel, and magic. As I continue to expand and transcend my teachings and my art are refining like an alchemical process. I am here to be in service and inspire. Art is Life, Life is Art.

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 As we approach the one year “pandemic-versary” I remember the challenges, the transformations, and disruptions to not just our lifestyles but to our collective experience. I am so grateful that we all can create and process, what words cannot reveal. As Dr. Remen said we can all tap into the mystery, where by we are the artist, the teacher, and the healer. For me this is how we will heal the collective. As we create individually, we add to the collective tapestry of the whole. Over this past year I have loved seeing all the art people are creating. Especially, I adore all the random acts of art, that strangers are leaving for others to see. These public works of art are so inspirational and altruistic. Audrey Azoulay of UNESCO said that “Bringing people together, inspiring, soothing and sharing: these are the powers of art, the importance of which has been made emphatically obvious during the COVID pandemic." So as the year moves forward and the light is getting brighter and brighter.How will you tap into your super power ~ Art! Making sure your joy is active & accessible, and how will you express it NOW?

People Are Having Amazing Before And After Results From Using Isagenix Collagen Everyone is different so your results will differ from others you see. Enjoy improved skin elasticity to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Drink 1-2 servings a day for 30 days to see what it can do for you. Most Frequently Asked Questions About The Elixir Below you will find the answer to some of the frequent questions about the collagen but if I missed something be sure to reach out to me. What does the Isagenix Collagen Elixir taste like? The Elixir has a delicious berry flavor and is best when drank cold. Does Collagen Elixir use hydrolyzed marine collagen or a collagen peptide? Isagenix marine collagen is both hydrolyzed and a collagen peptide! What do we mean by hydrolyzed? This is the process where large collagen molecules are broken down during a reaction with water into smaller molecules that are commonly referred to as ‘peptides’. Therefore, our Marine Collagen is also a collagen peptide. What are the benefits of type I collagen? Type I collagen is the building block of our skin’s structure, making up around 80% of our skin’s dermal layer. Most other animal collagen sourced from bovine, chicken or pork are often type II collagen, which is more suited to joints, but isn’t as effective as type I marine collagen when it comes to beauty-boosting benefits. This is because marine collagen sourced from fish is up to 1.5 times more absorbent than bovine, porcine or chicken collagen due to its lower molecule weight, making it more bioavailable and more easily absorbed by the body. Is Collagen Elixir recyclable? Yes, Isagenix Collagen Elixir packaging is 100% recyclable. Please dispose of the glass bottle and box responsibly. Can I take Collagen Elixir if I am pregnant or breastfeeding? While Collagen Elixir contains food-based ingredients that can safely be consumed by pregnant/nursing women, it’s always best to consult with your GP before starting using any supplements. At what age can someone start to consume Collagen Elixir? Collagen Elixir is suitable for people ages 12 and up. How many shots should I take per day? We recommend one serving of Collagen Elixir each day. Is Collagen Elixir cleanse day approved? Yes, Collagen Elixir can be consumed on Cleanse Days. Please refer to the Isagenix Cleanse Day Tracker for more information on our Cleanse Day approved snack options. Can men take Collagen Elixir? Absolutely yes! We are all made up of collagen and experience the same effects from the natural decline in collagen levels through the aging process. Can I take Collagen Elixir if I am allergic to fish? No, Collagen Elixir is not suitable for people with fish allergies. What are the different types of collagens? There are at least 16 different types of collagen. However, there are a couple that stands out most. Types I & III are the most prevalent, with Type 1 accounting for 90%. Type I collagen is accountable for strong hair, skin, nails, and bones. Type III serves for bone integrity and for the blood circulation system vessels strength. While type II collagen is less prevalent within the human body, they are renowned for promoting joint health. Type II collagen is sourced from animal collagen, as opposed to marine collagen sourced for type I & III. Where is the Marine Collagen sourced from? The marine collagen found in the Isagenix Collagen Elixir is sourced from the Scandinavian ocean, following strict, environmentally friendly practices that help support marine diversity.
