Welcome to Wisdom at the Crossroads. I am your host, Amanda Onchulenko and I am excited to invite you into my studio practice, remotely. Together let’s pause the rhythm of the day as we dive into the backstories of an artistic life, my life, exploring lessons learned through creativity and inspiration. We will reflect on how some of my favourite paintings have evolved and what wisdom I have found at the crossroads where action and presence meet. Each episode will end with a short meditation or

Tis the season for new growth with spring hopefully on the horizon at last. A new season on the paint wall is allowing for experimentation, discovery and, dependably, colour.

Wise Words: Presence

Wisdom at the Crossroads ·

2023/03/21

“Each day is an opportunity to begin again, to forget the troubles of yesterday, to abandon our attachment to the promise of tomorrow.” Getting quiet and being still sounds simple but it can actually be quite complex. The queen of distraction gets lost and found in this episode. Organization may not be my forte, but it seems when I am ready for the words I have written while getting in touch with the deepest parts of myself, the universe will find a way for them to literally cross my

Inviting the White

Wisdom at the Crossroads ·

2023/03/14

This episode is about embracing the season where a Canadian winter, wind sculpted snow banks, and variations on a white theme inspire a reflective trek. In a world of white, we dive into the magic of the landscape on a day where boundaries merged with atmospheric change to insulate the view. A view viewed through a window on the warm side of the glass thank you very much Easy does it is the theme of our self care practice in this episode. In a world where our only constant is change, we get

Arty Facts

Wisdom at the Crossroads ·

2023/03/07

Every journey begins with a single step. In this one, we get a little primal, exploring first steps on some big new panels on the paint wall for an exhilarating trip through the process of marks and the making. The legacy of creators through generations of history, thought, and process, became the focus of travels in real time through the Art Gallery of Ontario during recent travel. How great is it to get out of town to explore art and history, to be inspired and curious and to make connections

Burning with Passion

Wisdom at the Crossroads ·

2023/02/28

Warm thoughts on the paint wall on a cold winters day take us on a visual journey. Creative action invites some reflection as works in progress flow through the lovely subtleties of initial marks, only to crash and burn when judgement is applied. Add your own expletive here! In the meditation, we repurpose those flames and take a stroll down memory lane to a crisp evening in the fall. The story leads us to pause around a campfire, to visualize the snap and pop of poked logs in a contained circle

A new year for the podcast! This anniversary edition inspired a new beginning that starts and ends with gratitude. Thank you for joining me in this experience of story as we pause to connect, to make ourselves available to the creative magic all around us through the action of slowing down It was your curiosity that motivated me to visualize this virtual morning tea or afternoon coffee break. In choosing to be present for you I am reconnecting with my own need for stillness and for that I am

Mindful Mandart Moment: Breathing Space

Wisdom at the Crossroads ·

2023/02/14

Life is seriously too short to take ourselves too seriously. Through our mindful moments we can learn to nurture the elements within us. In the creative process I find myself in a place where the world quiets around me and I am fully present. I guess really I have learned to take myself to a place where the action and presence meet. In this episode, we open ourselves to getting our chi flowing and receiving the universal energy that supports us, wherever we are. It feels a bit like a cosmic embrace

2023/01/31

Take a break…Kit Kats are purely optional. The meditation in this Mindful Mandart Moment is a guided journey to an incidental green space dappled in pockets of sunshine. There’s a little elemental magic involved in getting quiet and becoming aware of all things small in our natural environment. Today's self care break is all about allowing ourselves an opportunity to pause and spend a few minutes in our own company, because, we are definitely worth it! Join me as we engage in a moment of respite and

Mindful Mandart Moment: Sanctuary Within

Wisdom at the Crossroads ·

2023/01/24

Celebrate the power of intention with this self care pause Red is one of my favourite colours. I appreciate the resonance of quinocridone red light (try pronouncing that one with an accent on a podcast). Though painting quiets my soul, I am strangely attracted to the screaming nature of particular shades of Pyrole. These lovely reds seek attention like noise in an airport so by association the grounding quality of red inspired the sanctuary building meditation in this episode. This self care pause

2023/01/10

Let's get actively still. The meditation in this episode of Mindful Mandart Moments pairs action with stillness and takes us on a contemplative visual journey. The labyrinth, in existence for thousands of years, is usually a compact journey that winds its way to a contemplative centre and unfurls as it returns us to where its curved path began. So far in our meditative practice together, we have paused to contemplate and reflect as we have taken time for ourselves at the end of each episode on the

Mindful Mandart Moment: Renewal and a Chakra Cleanse

Wisdom at the Crossroads ·

2023/01/03

This renewal comes with a chakra cleanse. In this Mandart Moment of Mindfulness, colour was the inspiration that initiated a visual journey that grows and glows through the chakra column. The chakras form a column of invisible energetic support common to all of us. There are 7 chakras that form this internal column beginning with the root chakra at the base of the spine and rising to the crown chakra just above the top of our heads. Becoming aware of the properties of our chakras can help us to

Mindful Mandart Moment: Abundance

Wisdom at the Crossroads ·

2022/12/27

Less can be more when we discover abundance. Mindfulness has become a mainstream term in recent years. The practice of paying attention is what I like to call it. By being mindful we can help ourselves to pause and be present. When we are present in our own lives we can make ourselves available to all of the magic available to us through the action of slowing down. In this episode of the Podcast we are bringing the meditation to the foreground to help us to find our own rhythm where nothing is

Still life sounds a bit like an oxy moron doesn’t it? For someone who struggles to colour in the lines, a little contained floral action can’t help but be big on personality. What was once a ‘false start’ is now a studio companion with a cheeky personality despite her bland title, “Active Still : Purple” Check out the expanded show notes and images of Active Still: Purple in my blog!

A backward glance inspired the name of this big bold square that came together like the magical arrangements in the colourful child’s toy. There is nothing childish about this confident shapely girl who fledged the nest early. Check out the expanded show notes and an image of Kaleidoscope in my blog!
