THE PARABLESÂ | FREE PDF GUIDE
Not every journey begins with a map.
Sometimes a journey doesn’t begin with a map—
it begins with a tug at the heart. A memory. A quiet call to return.
The Girl in the Woods Parables are a series of illustrated stories and reflective invitations that speak to those quiet places within you—not to fix, but to remember...
...To remember that you are a maker. A dreamer. A wanderer with a home inside the wilds of your own heart.
This isn’t just a story—it’s a mirror, a touchstone, and a gentle companion for the part of you that’s ready to rise.
Receive this volume free. Your download also includes a few beautiful surprises—because your creative self deserves a warm welcome home.

Here's how I know....
A few years ago, I felt the ache of creative disconnect.
I wasn’t sure who I was anymore—except I knew I was tired:
- Tired of the hustle.
- Tired of wondering if my art even mattered.
- Tired of silencing the part of me that longed to create.
So I entered the forest and began again.
With sticks, stones, and breath—because nature is my medium—I made art that wasn’t for exhibit or sale.
...It was art that helped me remember who I am.
...It led me to a new way. A truer way.
That’s where art-based mindfulness was born:
a practice for artists, sensitives, and anyone ready to feel present, whole, and creatively alive again.

This Work Follows a Deeper Story
Rooted in the Hero’s Journey, it's a path we walk together.
You are not alone if…
- You ache to create something meaningful… but feel blocked or burnt out
- You compare your artwork to others and always fall short
- Your creativity feels like a luxury you've surrendered to "real life"
- Your notebooks, brushes, and dreams lie dormant
- You used to feel inspired—now, you just feel overwhelmed
There’s a gentle way forward.

MEET YOUR GUIDE
Jodi Rose Gonzales
Hi, I’m Jodi—an artist, art therapist, and founder of iROSE art-based mindfulness.
That might sound impressive, but there were many times in my life that I questioned whether or not I was a “real artist.”
Like many who find their way here, I’ve known the shadow of creative doubt and disconnect. I've felt "off my path,"...and worked my way back again.
As a lifelong maker and healer, I eventually uncovered what so many of us forget: creativity isn’t a luxury—it’s a birthright. Transformation isn’t just possible, it's an art form.
