KAT RIVER & MOTHER MAKER PRESENTS

THE ART OF ALCHEMY

MAKER SPACE

Crafting business magic for intuitive mothers who are nourishing their families, finances and creative spirit

Join the 400+ mother makers that have journeyed through AOA

Letter from Kat

Hello mother makers!
Some of you have been around here for a long while, and others may have just followed the threads and ended up here.
Welcome.

I began the Mother Maker podcast in 2022, which led to eventually creating Art of Alchemy as a live online journey through the merging of the mother, mystic and maker. A community of over 400 mothers from all walks of life, all around the world emerged, all bringing ideas, businesses or life visions to life alongside raising children. It was the only space like it and resulted in mothers finding themselves, their aliveness, their confidence, friendship, collaborations, successful launches, finished books, new products and services and advocating for their vision in the world.

I ran the program live 3 times over 2 years.
Now, Art of Alchemy is available as an on demand program or one off workshops.

What I’m most excited for now is the MAKER SPACE which is for you to come and re-submerge in the creative alchemy, through live bi-weekly gatherings where we can heartstorm on what you’re creating, and your process of bringing your vision to life.

If you’re new here and have not completed AOA, you have the opportunity to either choose one off workshop classes, on demand, that support your current stage of the conception, birth or ongoing support of your business/ creative project OR you can dive in and swim in the waters of the full Art of Alchemy program, alongside the Maker Space.

For those who are Art of Alchemy Alumni, you are invited to enrol in the Makers Space and community once again, and I look forward to dancing again with you.

Keep reading for more.

The Alchemist uses elements of science, mysticism and philosophy, in her pursuit to transform the ordinary into gold - moving through the boundaries of the seen and unseen worlds with intention.

The mother maker is the alchemist in her life. Weaving together a golden tapestry to create her vision for her family.

Attuning to business energetics and creative potential, to feel alive and connected, make money and resources, and to nourish her children.

She does this through finding her inner harmony between her multifaceted self, challenging the rulebook on what makes a good mother, good creative, and good businesswoman, good person and instead forges a new path starting from where the mother, the mystic and the maker meet.

I’M KAT,

A MASTER ALCHEMIST OF MY OWN LIFE.

It's been ten years of co-creating with intuition, pulling ideas out of the ethers, and turning them into 3D experiences, offerings and an income that has supported my family in our dreams and after years of conversations with other mothers wanting the same, I want to share it all. A rising tide lifts all ships. Mothers who are creatively lit up, thriving financially, and bringing their gifts to the world alongside motherhood… are a whole force to be reckoned with.

HERE’S WHAT I KNOW

Motherhood is fulfilling, AND it can also be mundane.

It's not unusual to feel creatively cockblocked, or frustrated with unmet potential.

I believe as mothers, we crave something deeper. Something more wild. We have visited the threshold and we know what we are capable of.

It's shit getting hit with the whiplash of being in your creative business energy and then flipped into wiping avocado off the floor and finding your journal recently made into a 3 year olds work of art.

Your kids are your world, and are the literal inspiration for you to go after your business and lifestyle dreams AND you feel allergic to hustle culture.

You are drawn to a more soulful approach when it comes to business and bringing your vision to life… but you're not totally sure where to look (Here, you look right here).

You love being a mother. It's the most important role of your life and you know it, and, you'd be lying if you said that you didn't have a creative resurgence inside of you, desperately wanting to claim space in your life as a woman. Where you make money, feel internally free to create, feel like a present mama, and though your visionary self gets a seat at the table.
You know you're enough as a mother, but you also know you're here as a creator and want to show your kids what it can look like to follow dreams on your own terms.
You know you are wanting to find a way where you can dance between your babies and your business in a way that nourishes the whole family.
You can stay in the magic of creative surges and let them lead you without having to dilute yourself to fit into boxes, algorithms or social media rules or hustle culture.
You can follow and trust the excitement you feel in your body without it burning you out or taking away from your values.
You can recreate your identity as a successful mother and creator when it comes to your relationship to your craft, money, self-image and your dream lifestyle.
You can feel connected to a bigger vision in both business and home life that inspires you, brings a whole other sense of purpose and weaves through your true desires rather than the conditioned beliefs around what this season of life 'should' look like.
You can honour your inner mystic and intuitive through your creativity ideas, and watch them shift from good to golden (alongside you).
You can embrace a more mother-centric framework that actually supports you as a mother creative in business through rhythm and expanding your perspective, alongside other mother expanders in the thick of this season of life too.

IF YOU’RE NODDING ALONG,

THIS IS FOR YOU.

“What if there was another way for the mother makers…

A way that has always been just for us, calling softly. A path that had us flowing with our rhythms, releasing pressures of hustle culture and insecurity, and instead making money, being creative, mothering with our big open hearts, in a way that feels easeful, devoted, fulfilling and bigger than ourselves. A way that has us nurturing our creative babies the way we nurture our children, and create a relationship with our businesses and desires of the heart that truly help us and our families thrive."

THE ESSENCE OF AOA

While Creating Within Mother Centric Frameworks

Which looks like honouring the rhythm and realities of motherhood, and celebrating these rather than feeling limited by them.

Changing the landscape for ourselves so that we can take pressure off, and find ways to truly thrive within our mother maker era.

The conversation has to be different here.

Experiencing Creative Alchemy

This means, finding your harmony point between your inner world, and the outer world of your dreams.

Pulling together the threads of energetic business, creativity, money, visioning, self inquiry, and the body.

Feeling Connected to Creative Mothers While Doing It

Because it's up to us to create micro villages of support and connection within this season of life.

Share resources and offerings within our networks and call in opportunities for collaboration, sharing struggles and celebrating each other.

SYLVIA’S AOA EXPERIENCE

AOA was the missing link within my flow of motherhood, home making, crafting, self care, meditation & community.

I've noticed since AOA I'm creating simple foundational structure of non negotiable self care and prioritising my moments with my son, partner, business/craft, home & community, where I am able to pour my energy in a sustainable way to all that I love & that is important to me.

I feel my timeline has shifted into a state of prosperity & I am feeling a sense of thriving. From burnout & overwhelm to ease & devotion.

— Sylvia

Classes inside AOA

Personal Blueprints and Intentional Timelines

You unpack internalised conditioning and identities that are shaping our current life, and learn how to flip the script on yourself to close the gap between who you dream yourself to be, and how you currently are. Step into and embrace not only shift perspective but also calling forward a new timeline of experience.

Your Birth Imprint and Creative Imprint

Birth and creativity are not all that different. Learn about energetic initiations and your unique imprints when it comes to this, so that you can acknowledge your pattern of creating, and be able to shift and change the aspects of your process that don't serve your vision.

The Self of Sabotage

Learn about glass ceilings, self sabotage, and all the micro ways we keep ourselves at arms length from our most desired experience. Learn about the nervous system and how the ways we think we are comfortable and safe, are the same things stopping us from moving into a more thriving experience in our creative work, with clients, within our income, relationship and mothering experience.

The Return to Rhythm

Attune to a new rhythm. Your perspective shifts on the "should" of creation and business and you discover better ways to be more efficient in the pockets of time you dedicate to your intuitively led business. You learn how to bio hack into flow state quickly, and the art of honouring seasons while maintaining momentum. This is a more mother centric approach to creation.

The Motherland Rebrand - a visioning

This is a favourite for the dreamers. Those who like to work with the mystic energy and the "seer" archetype. Those who like to attune to new timelines and call them forward into this life lived now. This week is for the last two months to come together, and energetically attune to what's to come and how to close the gap.

Part of this class is a guest breath work session specifically for a visioning process, opening the nervous system to opportunity and optimism. The Breathwork, combined with a meditation, and the opportunity to share and claim the vision of our heart, leaves you on a high and feeling seen and acknowledged in your creator energy.

Sexuality, Creativity and Becoming Alive with Angel Phoenix

Angel Phoenix is a visibility expert, social media strategist, business futurist, creative, multi-disciplinarian, brand director, sex educator, mother, poet, philosopher… and has over 20 years marketing experience in the world of self expression and connecting to our humanness to market our offerings. She's built a doula empire, marketing management, and many of her own enterprises. Always through self inspiration, working with a vision, being connected to her creativity and sensuality.

Her neurodivergent mind is a gift to us all and I am beyond excited to bring her expertise and big heart to you all. Prepare to meet an edge with Angel in this class.

The Subterranea of Creative Business

You face off with the shadow aspects of the self, business, and creativity. You appreciate this type of self inquiry as it truly has you feeling more embodied and centred. You learn how to integrate and incorporate the archetypes into your business structure, and play with different aspects of yourself outside of motherhood too. You feel like the mystic, the maiden, the mother, the artist, the crone all have a seat at the table. You feel like you no longer struggle with comparison, or insecurity or desperation when it comes to your creations and you learn how to merge your sensual and creative energy back into your work.

Co-creation at the Meeting Place

You realise that strategy and skill is an aspect of business, but when it comes to growing your ideas, and making money, it's more than worth your time to get yourself out of the way and allow for more magic to happen. Meet the energetics of your business and ideas, at the meeting place. How to decipher head vs heart, hear guidance clearly when it comes to decisions, and create an energetic contract that supports you as a mother maker. Learn how to be in relationship with your ideas and how to then co-create.

Money Magic

You've heard a handful of conversations around money before. But nothing like this. Your favourite part of this class is the embodiment practice that has you physically clear energy blocks in your body to allow for more flow. This practice is one you can apply to any area of your life, from motherhood, to relationship, to self worth or, in this case, to money.

Soulful Social Media with Kat

Learn social media energetics, skills, how to cultivate online communities and use storytelling as a way to share what you do with the world in a more enjoyable way.

Social media is neutral. There are incredible opportunities there, and plenty of con's too. Our job is to find a way for it to help us thrive, while honouring boundaries and holding intention.

Rebirthing Breathwork Guided Session with Jordan Maria

This is a prerecorded embodiment class designed to go hand in hand with the birth patterns and creative imprints class, though the tools within this class are beneficial to be used throughout the course.

Jordan Maria is a rebirthing breathwork mastery practitioner, AND a previous student of AOA. This style of breathwork is gentle and focuses on regulating our nervous systems and rewriting pathways to support our creative process. Jordan is also a coach for the Reconnected Parenting program and has worked with many mothers and parents.

Business Through the Lens of Astrology with Amy Lea - CLASS 01, 02, 03

Amy Lea is a Leadership Coach, Business Mentor, Human Design & Astrology Educator. She helps business owners, CEOs and leaders work smarter, not harder, become more of who they really are and tap into their most aligned and enriching potential. We have been lucky to have Amy teach in two other intakes of AOA and those classes are available in the bonus library. This class will be a fresh take through the lens of Astrology alongside HD.

Learn how your unique human design profile type would thrive best in business and how you can use this knowledge to understand yourself, your creative energy, whether you're best to work 1:1 or in groups, with a team or solo and more. This will act as the missing link for so many mothers in business and provide a whole new lens to explore.

We drop in deeper for a second and then third 2 hour class exploring our human design profiles and what each combination means in relation to sales and marketing and how it is best achieved as an individual rather than a one size fits all approach.

What AOA is NOT:

A strategy heavy program.

There will be some helpful strategies to learn, but overall it's an education based more in the subtle inner world. It's not a focus on sales pages and funnels, Facebook ads and creating a business from scratch.

What AOA IS:

It is designed to be nectar for what you are already creating, so that you can move into the next phase and stage with more confidence and feeling really supported by the energetics of your own business, self and ideas. The future of business is energetic business. It's starting to be adopted by the mainstream only now. 80% of soulful business is the inner work and that's what AOA is about. The 80%.

A space to be lifted with other mother creatives. We are all in this together. It's an expansive place that holds the contrasting nature of motherhood, creativity, and the self. It's a program to open perspective, and therefore guide mothers into new experiences when it comes to Money, time, motherhood, friendship, creative pursuits and self.

It's a pocket of claiming space for yourself as a mother each week and feeling the rumbles that come from that as they move out into the rest of your life. It's a place to nourish the ideas you are already holding and putting out into the world, so that those ideas can nourish you as a creative, and financially.

Mother Makers!

Many of you already know me and have been connected to me online for years, if not the last decade in some way, but for those who are new - Hi! I am a mother of two little legends Rafi and Ren. I am a woman obsessed with community, intuitive creative mothers and the family unit (However that looks for each person).

I am also a multi-creative, and have been creating in the world of business, art, creativity and entrepreneurship for close to 10 years.

Always being intuitively led, I recoiled at the super heady, overly strategic business advice when it came to making money from creations. I get it, Strategy and skills DO absolutely have their place, but it's not my genius zone. It is something I implemented second, not first.

Perhaps it's my astrology, human design, numerology, or genekeys… Or perhaps my desire to bridge the 3D world with magic and lols… But when I learned about soulful and energetic business, the game changed for me and I felt like finally I could be my witchy self within the world of entrepreneurship, make money in ways that felt exciting, honouring of intuition and I could move myself out of the way of blocking any big visions I had for my life. It was liberating. I began trusting my creative impulse, I began trusting myself and I began trusting whatever was a whole lot bigger than myself moving through.

I have since made multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars, while never following the mainstream rules of business and advice online.

Instead I got crazy devoted to my ideas and the way THEY wanted to guide me. THIS is what I want to teach you. The Energetics of business. Because it's so supportive of the mothercentric framework of creating in and around children.

My personal vision is to really truly help mother makers turn into an alchemist of their own life. Specifically in the world of creativity, energetic business, money and family. You can probably guess I have a bajillion ideas for how I want to do this, from retreats to online seminars, to coffee table books full of art and interviews… However, right now my focus is on a more intimate style of mentorship - right here.

My vision for my own family is to be able to find myself through creative endeavours, make sure my kids see me doing the damn thing, and generate an income to contribute, invest and create epic spaces for others.

I have a background in "Successful" (Subjectively) network marketing, relationship coaching, women's event facilitation, podcasting, online courses, content creation, Substack bestseller, creator artist and as a writer.

My very clear downside is my lack of any sort of cooking skills (working on it), and the ability to keep my entire home clean at any one time (Unrealistic expectations IMO), and the fact that people mention the washing and I say "what washing?".

I find myself with an overabundance of creative energy, ideas and ability to attune to those around me and "see" within their businesses and how it can all click together. I have also had my fair share of creative "Dryness" and wondering how on earth I'll make anything cool, ever again.

I am an intuitive, a visionary within my own world and find a lot of joy in challenging conditioning and social norms, to find a path that is more nourishing to mothers, creatives and those who are sensitive to the subtle worlds. I have the ability to find the pulse between zooming out at the bigger picture and offering holistic perspectives, then being able to zoom back into the details and connect it all together. My superpower is to see the potential in others and reconnect them to inner trust, and feel connected something beyond themselves.

I love women, I love children, I love motherhood and family, I love entrepreneurship, community, creating, expansive out of the box conversations, intimate moments of connection, making money in liberating ways, while the merging of energetic realms, the practical skills and the laughs.

As a mother, I understand the push pull and feelings of whiplash that can come from being a mother creative. From minimal time, to mother guilt, to losing trust in my own energetic consistency. It's all there. It's an important world to explore, navigate and to find ways to make it thrive for us. There is a path for the mother maker, and it looks and feels very different to the path for everyone else. That is our gift.

I'm beyond excited to be able to work and play with many of you!

AOA was originally a live course that is now available on demand to suit the needs of mothers and flexible schedules better.
Art of Alchemy is hosted on Skool - a community platform. The MAKER SPACE are hosted live LIVE because It's important to feel accountable, emotionally invested, and connected.
The Maker Space replay will be available to watch asap for those who cannot attend live.
Well, we are all mothers. I get it. Some of you will have access to support, and others will need to be creative. If you want to work through AOA as originally designed, I ask that you are able to claim a 2 hour block in a week. It may sound like a lot, though I promise taking that space for yourself, to have a cup of tea and sit with your journal and be with it - will be the nourishment you crave. If you are working through it slower, or faster, it’s not a problem. Maker Space Live calls are bi-weekly. Allow 90min-2hours. Kids are always welcome on the calls, whether they be drawing next to you, snuggled on your lap or watching a movie. This is the world of the mother maker.
AOA is designed for those who have a business/creative project that they can apply the education and practices to. You can absolutely participate if you have an idea in the early stages, and the first three classes will really help attune to the energetic realm of our ideas/businesses therefore you could join with the intention of calling in an idea to work on at the beginning. It's designed for those wanting to make an income from their ideas/ or grow and expand their current business from the energetic standpoint and overcome their own limitations. This means if you are somewhat established in what you are doing, this is also perfect for you.
I encourage you to come and explore as I can only assume that being around other creatives, unpacking internal resistance, opening perspective, participating in embodiment practices etc can only be helpful in reconnecting you to your creative self. If you JUST want a creative exploration there are great aspects of this program for you, though there will be a honest focus on also creating income from these creations, so it's best you feel that out for yourself.
There is the option of a full payment, or payment plans available on checkout. If you need something more flexible please email hello@kat-river.com to arrange privately.
All sales are final. Any questions you can email hello@kat-river.com
Once you have bought AOA you will have access to the course content for 12 months. The MAKER SPACE is on a monthly investment.
