Self Portraiture as Medicine
8-Week group mentoring program
Short enough to fit into your life, long enough to transform it.
Step into the next level of your potential.
This is your invitation to make 2026 the year you become
fully embodied, empowered & in love with yourself. NMFW (No Matter F*ing What)
What makes this course different:
My courses weave together body, mind, soul, spirit, and creativity.
You’re not just given prompts - you’re supported to meet what arises when you actually make the work.
You’ll receive:
• Nervous system grounding practices so you can create from safety, not overwhelm
• Toltec wisdom woven throughout - learn to soften, release self-judgment, and stop taking your thoughts personally
• Live, intuitive teachings shaped by what the group needs in the moment
• Self-portrait prompts designed to transform what’s unseen into visual language
• A small, sacred container where your specific work is met with depth and care
Curriculum Overview
I work with the energy of the group in the moment, allowing what needs to come through to flow naturally. Each week unfolds intuitively based on what the group needs.
We'll explore:
Embodiment
Internalized Ageism
Empowerment & Self-Confidence
Sensual Essence
Life/Death/Rebirth
Reclaim/Recover/Renew
Healing Negative Beliefs through Self-Portraiture
Getting Comfortable in Your Own Skin
Loving Yourself No Matter F*cking What
Toltec Practices & Subconscious Reprogramming Techniques
Belonging to Yourself & Coming Back Home to Yourself
Join us. Here’s how it works:
What to expect:
Every Wednesday, 10:30am - 12:00pm Pacific Time (recorded if you can't attend live) I tune into the group's energy and allow the teachings to flow through intuitively…meeting you exactly where you need to be met.
Session Dates:
Session 1: Wednesday, January 21st, 10:30am - 12:00pm pacific time
Session 2: Wednesday, January 28th, 10:30am - 12:00pm pacific time

About the Investment: It’s priced by depth, access, and the level of individualized attention each artist receives. You’re investing in a live, intimate container, not a volume-based program. If a year-long program of photo prompts is what you’re looking for, this ain’t it. This is Sacred Soul Work that doesn’t demand all of your time for it to be life-changing in ways you never thought possible.

My Fine Art Work explores the unseen and unsaid within personal relationships, intimacy, and connection and how those private dynamics reflect and shape us personally and collectively.

I weave the Toltec Practices with Creativity along with my own deep intuitive knowing. This isn’t just about taking portraits of yourself. I’m a guide and a seer that supports you in releasing what no longer serves you so that you can live a life that’s much more fulfilling.

Self Portraiture can be intimidating, but Catherine makes it actually FUN and deeply meaningful. The process is empowering, helps you feel more embodied and is a process of reclamation. We all struggle with negative beliefs about our bodies and being on camera. In this course we release these limiting beliefs so we can live our lives more fully self expressed both inside the course and inside your life.
-
Any camera that you feel comfortable using is the right camera for this course. Many use iphones.
If you want to paint, draw, collage or any other visual art you’re welcome to join this course. Catherine’s self portrait work is mostly photography and that’s what her focus will be during the course.
Hi there, I’m Catherine!
I’m a full time Artist, Photographer, Intuitive Healer, Toltec Nagual, Mindset & Abundance Coach living in Los Angeles. My photography has been published on the cover of National Geographic Magazine, inside O magazine, and my art is shown and sold internationally.
I got sober from a meth addiction when I was 18 years old, went on to receive my BFA in conceptual photography and then apprenticed with Miguel Ruiz who wrote the 4 Agreements. I’m certified in Subconscious Reprogramming Techniques and weave all of this into my work and courses.
I just celebrated 36 years of continuous sobriety and I’ve learned many tools, practices and transformational healing modalities that help me get out of my own way so I can make the mark I’m here to make. I love helping others who want the same.
I’m the proud single mama to my son Max who has Down syndrome. We work together, creating Art as Activism Campaigns to raise awareness about Down syndrome and Ableism while listening to GunsNRoses and White Stripes on full blast.
I offer courses, coaching, intuitive healing, retreats, a podcast and will soon be publishing my first book, all in service to humans, like myself, who crave healing, transformation, personal growth, the sacred medicine inside an art practice and living a life free from our own internal suffering.
If you have any questions feel free to email me at studio@catherinejust.com.
