Soul Drawing is visionary Art that provides a lens and a scrying pond for seeing with clarity and depth, a focused sharper view of self and circumstance. https://www.drawingsoul.me/ Wed, 24 Aug 2016 07:38:44 -0700 https://www.drawingsoul.me/blog/leslie-s-soul-drawing-experience https://www.drawingsoul.me/blog/leslie-s-soul-drawing-experience <p>My personal experience with Cosima’s Spirit Drawings might be slightly different than the usual setting.
