FINDING BEAUTIFUL
School of YOU
A Creative Pilgrimage Home Through Your Inner Landscapes
Heal, Transform & Awaken Your Whole Self
ART AS A WAY HOME
Art for the Mind, Body, and Soul.
A Self-Paced Creative Pilgrimage to Restore Wholeness
The School of You is a sacred journey for women ready to witness, transform, and express their story through art. This is not about theory, skill-building, or self-improvement—it’s a creative, somatic, and soul-led path to reclaim your wholeness.
Healing is the call to restore what has been wounded, silenced, or denied. Parts of yourself that have been diminished, gaslit, or overlooked can block your dreams and dim your vitality. In the School of You, you will turn these inner stories into living, expressive art, reclaiming your voice, presence, and life.
This pilgrimage is inspired by the Gate Called Beautiful (Acts 3) — a sacred place of encounter, healing, and wholeness. Here, the body, mind, and soul integrate as you are guided through your inner landscapes into the fullness of who God created you to be.
Shelley‘s God given gift to help women walk out this journey is worth more than its weight in gold.
— Michelle Maxwell
Why This Journey Matters
You feel disconnected from your feelings, your body, your creativity, and even your dreams. Old stories hold you back, leaving clarity, purpose, and joy just out of reach. You’re craving wholeness—mind, body, and soul—but haven’t found a path that truly meets all of you.

The Four Seasons of Your Soul, The “Four Elements of Your Wholeness”
Your pilgrimage is not about quick fixes, it’s about powerful transformation through the Four Elements of Wholeness.
Each element is an 8-week rhythm with space for rest and integration. Over the year, you’ll embody the full cycle of transformation, a new way of living that carries into every part of your life.
When you step into this pilgrimage, you will:
· Release what has kept you small and rise into freedom
· Rewrite your story as one of power, compassion, and possibility
· Restore rhythms of energy, rest, and vitality through Whole Health practices
· Awaken unshakable clarity, creativity, and peace
· See your transformation made visible through art, story, and archetypal transformation
· Step boldly into your purpose, calling, and God-given dreams with confidence and joy
This isn’t about fixing you. You’re not broken. This is about unlocking the medicine in your story, activating the beauty already inside you, and aligning fully with the abundant life God created you for.
The Path Forward
Every living story moves through the “Four Elements of Wholeness”
Everyone begins as a Pilgrim but leaves as a Creator
ELEMENT ONE:
FEEL (Earth): The Cavern of Emotion
Reclaim your body as a place of safety and strength
Your story begins in sensation — in the feelings that were never given language.
Here, emotion is not pathology. It is wisdom.
ELEMENT TWO:
HEAL (Water): The River of Restoration
Restoring trust, tenderness, and connection.
This transformation is not self-improvement.
It is the slow remembering of safety, presence, and belovedness
ELEMENT THREE:
DREAM (Wind): The Summit of Dreams
Reclaiming imagination, vision, and your souls calling
When the nervous system softens, imagination awakens.
Your story begins to show you where it wants to go. Your pain becomes your purpose.
ELEMENT FOUR:
CREATE (Fire): The Circle of Fire
Bring it all to life with clarity, creativity, courage
Creation is not productivity,
it is embodiment, legacy, and holy disruption. You begin to create your God-sized dreams and live forward.
Your life becomes the art.
“The School of YOU is so worth it! I have gone from guarded and defensive, to being at peace and feeling loved by God. I’m creating my new story! ”
— Jennifer Taylor
