The Healing Flow Experience
A guided journey through color, lines, movement, and presence.
Discover the art of healing through intuitive painting, collage, collective flow, and mindful creation. Each session is a safe and inspiring space to reconnect with your inner rhythm — to express, release, and remember the beauty that already lives within you.
Led by artist and educator Victoria Derin Işıkman, this experience invites you to explore emotion through form and color, and abstraction- to awaken creativity as a pathway to balance, joy, and connection.

A Creative Journey Beyond Paint and Sip
Guided art experiences through paint, collage, line & abstract form

Each session is a meditative yet joyful journey — inviting you to slow down, breathe, and connect with your inner rhythm.
You’ll be guided step-by-step through expressive exercises that awaken creativity, ease stress, and nurture emotional balance.
We don’t copy paintings — we create from intuition.
Every workshop is a celebration of being alive, creative, and connected.
Perfect for individuals, small groups, or teams seeking mindfulness, relaxation, and meaningful connection through art.
Hosted monthly at the Naperville Art League, in the heart of Naperville’s creative community.

Sacred Statement – The Language of the Heart
by Victoria Derin Işıkman
At the heart of The Creative Flow Experience lies a simple truth:
Healing happens when we remember who we are — whole, creative, and connected.
Each workshop is a gentle space to return to that remembrance. Through color, form, rhythm, and flow, we open pathways for emotion, intuition, and renewal. It is not about painting; it is about listening — to your breath, to your hands, to what wishes to be seen.
Art becomes a meditation, a prayer in motion.
A moment of silence that speaks the language of the heart.
This is where creativity and consciousness meet — where the act of creation itself becomes an offering, a soft surrender, a sacred act of remembering.
The Healing Artist Manifesto
Victoria Derin Işıkman – Artist, Educator & Healer Through Art
I do not give healing; I make space for it.
Art is the language of the heart — a wordless prayer, a breath painted in color.
Every brushstroke is a remembrance.
Every color carries a prayer — sometimes forgiveness, sometimes rebirth, sometimes a silent yes.
My task is not to teach, but to remind.
For every soul is, by nature, already whole.
It only forgets its tone, its color, its rhythm.
I walk beside that light.
Without judgment, without control — simply witnessing.
For healing begins the moment it is witnessed.
Sufism says: “Form is the mirror of meaning.”
I seek to see the Divine reflection in every being.
Each line is a story; each hue, a breath.
Every encounter, a conversation with the Beloved.
The purpose of art is not to create beauty,
but to remember that beauty was always there.
I am Victoria Derin Işıkman,
and I am devoted to reminding hearts of their healing through art and love.
For I am not only an artist —
I am a rememberer.
A vessel.
A breath.
