Who am I?
What is my purpose?
What will make me happy?
Ever since I can remember, I’ve asked myself these three questions, and my life journey reflects the persistent search for answers.
This search has led me on various paths; it led me to meet my first husband, a move to England, divorce, meeting the love of my life, the birth of my four children, studying theater design, art therapy, and finally to developing the amazing tool for healing and growth through creating – the visual journal.
In my first book Layers of Meaning – Elements of Visual Journaling, I described the seven elements of visual journaling. I showed how to connect the seven elements to various spiritual methods, such as shamanic journeys, Voice Dialogue, and others, and working with intention – through the seven elements, to create “soul pages” that enable healing and transformation.
But my search for meaning never stopped… it only became more interesting.
In the last two years, I started to create meditation art using the elements of intention and color.
I felt that color has a special force that is mysterious and uplifting.
Slowly I started to combine shamanic ideas and the theory of color to create a frame for self-exploration through colors.
I taught the Color Archetypes course for two years in Israel and I felt that this is its time to go out there to the world.
We learned about the Color Archetype method and created our Childhood color maps. This is a great tool to start and understand your art and get insight from the a

Each and every one of us is born with the built-in ability to change our lives and
connect to the energies of health, love, the joy of life, and creativity.
All that is required of us is to believe that we can do this in a simple and creative way.
In this course, we will learn the tool of a color capsule that will connect us to the power of fulfillment of the primary colors and their ability to change our lives.
A color mantra is one of the processes of the Color Archetypes method.
This is a tool that connects color, image, and the creation of a healing mantra.
You can repeat this process and create as many color mantras as you want.
In this course, you will also create a beautiful art therapy journal, designed especially for this process.
A mantra is actually a type of prayer, a precise sentence that describes the situation we want to reach – as if it has already happened and is being fulfilled in the present.
Our unconscious does not know how to distinguish between imagination and reality so when we create a mantra and reinforce it by visual expression and continue to reinforce it through daily practice, reality begins to align accordingly.
In this course, we will connect to the power of our personal color palette in the context of healing a certain aspect of our life.
We will create a color mantra that will express our healing.

Spring is coming and it’s time for traveling with my visual art diary
I love traveling, this is the best time for me to work on my Visual journal.
Next week I’m flying with my Husband to Italy and I would love it if you joined me on my visual explorations of Florence and Sienna.
When I travel I feel so free to just create.
I take a very small bag of supplies and my small sketchbook and I try to create every day something small that will summarize my day.
I use brochures I find, ephemera I collect, and usually, I just allow myself to sketch the energy that I feel in any particular place I visit.
Every day I let myself enough time to sit in a nice coffee place and work on a visual summary of the day before. Sometimes I even do it twice a day when I’m super excited.
This way I let myself absorb all the beauty that I saw and “make” it my own..
I noticed that when I’m reflecting in my visual art diary I enjoy it more and my memories of the vacation are clearer and happier.https://soul-pages.com/blog/
I take with me:
My travel visual journal
An extra small size watercolor block
Tombow markers
Permanent black Liners
Posca markers
Jel pens
Metallic pen
washi tape
Daniel smith small box of favorite watercolors
Scissors
Small glue
I pick up brochures and journals images as I go.

We started this course with a live event in April 16th.
You can access this for free when you register to the site.
In this event, I shared with you my new method
Color archetypes is a spiritual-artistic method to identify and understand the source of energies available to us from the day we were born – core energy, connection energy, and spiritual energy.
These three energies, inherent parts of us, navigate and shape our lives. Understanding them will help us live better, happier, and more fulfilling lives.
When we know and recognize these energies, we can learn to balance them and achieve an energetic state of tranquility, creativity, and happiness. This state touches our higher spirit, or self-archetype.
In this course we will learn to map the energies inside us through the color map, working with archetypes, shamanic meditations, and creating a visual journal.
We will learn about the childhood color energy map, a fascinating process that we can use over and over to heal childhood wounds and transition toward the life that we want to create for ourselves.
I was traveling for a whole week in Toscana and I felt really blessed for having my visual journal with me.
It was almost like a close friend that helped me to reflect on everything that I saw.
It helped me to slow down and not rush from one activity to the next.
This is a visual summary of my vacation…
For each day I have chosen my most memorable moment.
I hope you enjoy it!
That is definitely the most beautiful bridge I ever saw with these small houses all over it.
I couldn’t stop looking at it and imagining how it looked in the old days.
This is what I wrote in my Diary
“Such a full day of Renaissance art from the great masters like Botticelli, Caravaggio, Donatello, Michelangelo and many more…but what I really loved is wandering around this small beautiful city and looking at it from different positions. Sitting in small coffee places and working in my journal. In the Duomo tour I learned that Brunelleschi discovered the concept of perspective, and that is how the Renaissance started..so today my prompt was-we all need to have some “perspective” in our lives”
The view from Piazella Michaelangelo was really breath taking!
I recommend spending there a few hours of drawing the beautiful scenery.
This is going to sound like an exaggeration, but it’s the truth. I got so excited after receiving Rakefet’s book that I started building a junk journaling business with my own creations. And now, just a few weeks later, I have a retail display in a local store. That’s how inspiring this book has been for me. And now it’s inspiring my students, too, in the classes I’m teaching downtown. The depth of healing knowledge in this book is incredible. For now, I just get people excited about expressing themselves and having fun. Fun can be very healing in this world today. I don’t talk about the deep, psychological benefits of art, junk and written journaling because that’s not my expertise. That’s Rakefet’s expertise, and she’s very, very good at sharing it, in person and in her book. I encourage anyone with a speck of interest in creative journaling of any kind to get this book. Get it and watch what happens to your life when your creativity is set free. Just looking at Rakefet’s art is healing, but she inspires you to make your own art, and she imparts the confidence to actually do it. Thank you, Rakefet!
There are several art journaling books out there-but this new one by Rakefet Hadar in a class by itself. I have been visual journaling since the late 90s and have taught art journaling workshops and just when I thought I have seen all there is to see- along comes this book- Her method really is an invitation to go deep into yourself. Her process is inviting and engaging. The colorful journal art of hers is on almost all the pages in the book and is a joy in itself to look at. Thank you Rakefet for creating this wonderful book.ה
This is the BEST how-to book on visual journaling I have ever read. Rakefet Hadar has obviously studied and analyzed her own journal pages and has separated her work into seven elements, or layers, that provide meaning and relativity to her daily life. She provides the story of how she learned visual journaling that is profound and yet simple enough for everyone to understand and follow her techniques to make their own powerful journal pages.
Rakefet Hadar has written an amazing introduction to art journaling. She explains the wonderful process of art journaling and how it can bring deeper meaning and awakenings to our lives. It is very well written, translated from Hebrew to English in this version. Her colorful journal spread draw you into the her work. She explains techniques and processes here as well. I loved this book, Congratulations Rakefet!הם.
I love to go on vacation, visit new places and then express what I feel in my Visual Journal.
I haven’t been to Florence since I was 13, so 40 years ago…
I think this was the age when I started drawing.
That was my Bat-Mitzvah present, a tour around Europe with my grandparents and I felt overwhelmed!
It was the first time I left Israel and everything looked so beautiful and different!
This time I will have my Visual Journal to express what I see and feel.

Permanent black Liners
