I’m Gillian, aka @intrawoven.arts
I have over 17 years of study and practice in tarot, and a life-long spiritual and esoteric devotional practice that informs all aspects of my work. My education consists of a BA and an MA in Art History, as well as a certification in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy and various trainings in somatics, expressive arts and psychotherapy. My artistic work is entwined with my embodiment and devotional practices, and my tarot services are an expression of this interweaving. I like to think that the many limbs of my study and praxis inform and support the other.
You can benefit from my work, and directly support me, through engaging with my writings and offerings on Substack, my newsletter, my YouTube channel, buying my art, and booking one-on-one sessions.
In terms of my 1:1 offerings, I offer somatics-based coaching for deep transformational change and growth, as well as tarot readings for spiritual guidance and problem solving.
In my work with others, I aim to create spaces of self-connection and safety for the purpose of navigating journeys of embodied healing and expression.
bio
Gillian is an artist based in Toronto, Canada (originally from the Pacific Northwest). Her creative process - which includes weaving, writing, drawing, and performance - is largely informed by her existing spiritual and movement practices. Her work explores themes of devotion and magical transformation through embodiment (presence and attunement) and intuitive expression. She is inspired by harmonies, ecosystems, networks of existence (wild and cultivated, human and other-than-human), interdependence and interrelationship. In creating/performing, she recognises and responds to the twined and netted nature of existence. Gillian takes an intuitive approach to every medium she works with, allowing her body to become a portal, or a location, for the interaction of elements (the universe and the artist, the pen and the paper, the memory of a place and the body that remembers, etc).
“Through my art, I hope to invite the viewer into a state of peaceful presence and spark contemplation of both the inner self and the outer world.” - Gillian Huntley
Gillian's work is generated by a consistent relationship with and education in somatics, ecology, animism, mythology/folklore, performance, and philosophical/spiritual theories of transcendence. Agnes Martin, Lenore Tawney, Helen Frankenthaler and Koji Enokura are major influences for her visual art.
Get in touch
Doing transformational work of any kind is an act of deep self love and courage. I applaud you for opening up to it and am honoured by your consideration to work with me. My tarot sessions are tailored to your needs and specific life context, and I apply a trauma-informed approach to my coaching sessions.
I hope that by working together you will find liberation through gradual self-acceptance, healing and inspired action.
