Excellent question. I will answer it candidly and with full transparency. For as long as I can remember I have always guided groups of women and yes I have had male students along the way, but my personal calling has been women spirituality. I see our creativity and togetherness as a way for naturally fulfilling my calling... it's in my stars for those of you curious where my calling comes from. I have an Aquarian Moon and Chiron in my Fifth House for starters. Skool is the third "community" platform I have used since deciding to leave Facebook. I left Facebook when all the horrible bully political postings filled with opinions and untruths started hitting it. I don't support the current US President, nor his administration, their policies or tactics, that have resulted in harming not only my own family but other Americans as well as other countries. I share this not for discussion. I share this only for transparency. I accept everyone's personal opinions but am not interested in hearing them on this subject. Skool for the most part is a benign platform although designed by Australian boys with playing games in mind and promoting what I know as pyramid schemes underlying making money. That's fine. I don't play their games, nor focus on being in 100 communities gathering members or sending all of you to join 100 communities by posting a invite or even going the "summit" route which I've experienced now and learned is a direct tie-in to their pyramid method and while appears to support the community leaders participating in the summit who give free things away, are really designed for the organizer to make some good money off of. That's ok. I won't play that game either any more. So for me, this VAP community is for me to share my art, writing, AI exploration and any other creative project with other soulful, creative women who are artists, writers, exploring AI and open to creativity. Honestly, I tried skool's tier system, which supports the FOMO mindset. I don't think it's healthy and so, after serious consideration to completely leave skool, which would mean looking for another community platform which at this time I'm not interested in wasting time doing as I feel I've wasted almost 6 mos learning the real basis of skool structure. As long as they get the $9 mos "rent" from me they really don't care what I do. Which finally brings me to WHY I AM CHANGING MY COMMUNITY.

You won't know until you give it a try. The community is 100% for Artists, Writers, Creatives... so be pro-active. THE WEEKLY EVENT IS my Thursday, 2pm Pacific Author Narration on Twitch of my novel series, The Faery-Chronicles. I am currently reading, book one: FAERY WITH TEETH. Details are in the classroom. Continuing in May from the old system, is the 3rd Thursday of the month Premium/VIP ~ Petals. May see's month 5 in this process and is no longer open to new members. Thanks for your understanding. NOTE: Details on each are in the CLASSROOM and all Zoom links are in the CALENDAR. May 4th the NEW AI Prompt Project will be posted to the community discussion forum for those of you who like participating in them. I'm excited and believe you'll enjoy it. I have had a lot of fun creating 10 special prompts and images just for: Mixed Media Botanical AI Prompt Series. The series of the past will also go live in the classroom on that day. Thank you for being a member of VISIONARY ARTIST PATH (VAP). Let's create Create CREATE!

May 1, 2026 the Visionary Artist Path shifts into a Subscription community at $2mos/$18annually. The new structure is LIVE and pre-recorded events. ~ Hands-on Art Journaling classes ~ in Zoom I will be working on an Art Journal that naturally I will submit to Art Journaling Magazine for publication in a future issue. These sessions will be very focussed and on the serious side. Participants have the opportunity to not only learn how I create but also make their own right along with me. Q&A always welcome. ~ AI Prompt Programs ~ in the fashion of the previous Zodiacal and Goddess Archetype projects, I will continue to develop and offer new ones. ~ Smashbook Sanctuary ~ I will continue to hold a monthly live class as well as offer bonus pre-recorded sessions. ~ Writer's Workshop ~ a monthly gathering at which I will be writing and sharing my desktop but as other writer's begin to share, it will become a real meeting of writers. The intention is to share our work, read it, open to suggestions, and receive not only encouragement but direction of the process all the way to publication for those seeking it. From fiction, memoirs, oracles, non-fiction, cookbooks to journals... an all inclusive writer's group. ~ The Supernatural ~ a monthly campfire get together (replacing Fireside Chat with Kisma) at which those present talk about different topics from ghosts, aliens, spirits, to tarot, oracle cards, ritual, spells, to herbal remedies, tinctures, hands-on healing, to ??? Whatever becomes the topic. Those who gather can suggest the topic. So, spontaneous and of the moment. I hope these 5 monthly events will spark your attention and you'll be attracted to one or several. While I realize some members will churn, I look forward to embracing those of you that feel $2mos/$18 is well-worth the tiny donation to keep this community alive. May 1st... is the switch-over day. Bright Blessings, Kisma🫶
