The ancient story of day vs night & dark vs light… The symbolic nature of collages taught me to look at the world through the lens of myth, metaphor, and symbolism, and how to use visual storytelling to harmonise our inner opposing forces. The creative process takes us into psychic terrain and collages are like a map that help us decipher the symbolic language spoken in stories and in our dreams. By making use of this symbolic language, we can derive meaning from common challenges and inspire self-transformation through our unique creative expression. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions about workshops, retreats, custom artworks or creative collaborations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/1722401289113-BP4KEHHP28LIJGAO7Y1J/shutterstock_632509673%2B%25281%2529%2B-%2BCopy.jpg Homepage Setup https://www.bestillwithjill.com.au/events-1 daily 0.75 2022-03-21 https://www.bestillwithjill.com.au/events-1/private-creative-meditation-session-4s2lb monthly 0.5 2022-03-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/65472a31-418e-4c60-a932-7162918d2180/Capture.PNG Events -

About Be Still With Jill Be Still With Jill offers diverse creative services and holistic practices for women seeking to reconnect with themselves, their bodies and learn how to reignite their inner creative spark. Run by collage artist and meditation teacher Jill Psenitza, the creative workshops offer a safe space for participants to explore their inner worlds using collages as a tool to understand the body and creativity. It's more than just making art; it's an odyssey inward, a path where creativity becomes the guide to self-discovery and collages help us decode a deeper, symbolic language within us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/c51cd72b-b629-44fc-9a5c-e4d0ce3d0e0f/shutterstock_632509673+%281%29+-+Copy.jpg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/3286850b-0372-4d08-ae0a-3482db57e341/_ARK4409.jpg About - About Jill’s Art “My creative practice is inspired by my fascination with our shared human experience of polarity and duality.

Collages are one of the most symbolic and expressive artforms and one of my biggest passions is to use this symbolic art of visual storytelling to integrate all the various elements of a person that capture their essence and tell their story.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/1701766391527-G1WOL3SLB96SST1XQX0E/IMG_0763.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/1701766378131-BCK419WVBUB5T4DWG6SU/_ARK4666.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/1701766402170-1YRZ09FCTYXI0X4M9QYX/_ARK4249.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/1701766280362-ZZNIU4OBAFXP6ATQLSZO/IMG_7841%2B%25282%2529.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/1701766270841-J2ZPB702DYE6HZW7FY7A/IMG_9104.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/1701766251973-UOBA3LG6ZGN50BUQQBP2/IMG_8065%2B%25281%2529.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/1698198064626-MYDKQXRS6K2END99298S/_ARK5261.jpg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/c6c355d8-8e78-45bc-8d5d-1adf233022f8/_ARK4241.jpg About - About Jill Jill is a collage artist and meditation teacher based in Sydney and on NSW’s Central Coast. ‘’Be Still With Jill was born out of my personal struggle with anxiety, depression, disordered eating and body image issues in my 20’s until I embarked on a journey of recovery and healing which introduced me to the world of symbolism and storytelling. Creativity helped me to climb out of a very dark hole I was trapped in for years. Receiving professional help was crucial, but it was re-discovering and embracing my creativity which allowed me to process my experience and transform and heal from the psychic wounds that caused my struggles with food and my body.‘’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/4adbf5f0-cb35-4df1-8f4f-898af01bfe52/IMG_9804+%281%29+%281%29.jpg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/1723524675661-UMNSOVCTQSNNXAGOT8GO/NIKON%2BCORPORATION%2BNIKON%2BD3100%2B3072x4608_000226.jpg About https://www.bestillwithjill.com.au/personal-collages daily 0.75 2024-08-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/ba4b8ef6-b560-400f-83c5-44fcd19b8bf5/IMG_3480.jpg Personal Collages - What’s your story?

This collaborative endeavour didn't just mark a store opening; it became a shared experience that encapsulated the fusion of cultures, artistry, and the profound impact of a humble berry on an entire lifestyle. It served as a reminder of the beauty that emerges when creativity intertwines with cultural exchange, leaving a lasting legacy that transcended mere artistic expression. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/57ac442c-508b-4d03-a608-70ccaaa2cd1b/MANDALA_BONDI_1.jpg Oakberry Açaí - Oakberry Açaí Collaboration Embarking on a creative journey in 2020, this collaboration with interdisciplinary performance artist Carlos Agamez culminated in the creation of a Collage Mandala for the opening of Oakberry Açaí's Manly store. At its core, this project sought to weave a tapestry of two distinct yet harmoniously interconnected worlds – Brazil and Australia.

His art reflects the exploration of themes around the idea of home, cultural displacement, the perception of our surroundings, and how one constructs a memory of a space. Not limited to the confines of the gallery, his practice engages the broader public sphere through arts education, interventions in urban space, and communities with issues of identity. His work has been deeply inspired by Jungian psychology and his childhood in the Caribbean coast of Colombia.

Nuremberg, where the Faber-Castells lived, played an especially important role in Germany’s post-war history. The city was chosen by the International Military Tribunal to host the Nuremburg Trials; held for the purpose of bringing Nazi war criminals to justice on such charges as crimes against peace and against humanity. According to the book ‘Haus of Witnesses’, the Faber-Castells large hunting lodge became an exclusive venue to host soirees that would entertain the high society of Nuremberg including the occupying American soldiers. The end of the war liberated Countess Katharina who plunged herself back into a social life, entertaining her guests by playing the piano and singing her songs.er it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/1621219892374-V90RWE7QR9HZSLKYABQK/POST+2.png Faber-Castell Collage - Chapter 1 : Die Schweiz [Switzerland] This excerpt of the collage represents her early childhood growing up in the picturesque mountains of Switzerland with the oldest photo of Nina playing the accordion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/1621221010488-PXCY88T4ECZCXS9BEZF5/POST+7.png Faber-Castell Collage - Chapter 6: Mutterschaft [Motherhood] This excerpt of the collage shows Nina with her six children who lived both in the castle in Stein and in Switzerland. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/1621220276889-EX0AG2721LKQOXJJ20JW/POST+5.png Faber-Castell Collage - Chapter 4 : World War ll At the beginning of this project, the Faber-Castells handed me two large bags full of family albums, a folder of Nina’s drawings, historical books and biographies alongside a bound collection of letters between Count Roland and Countess Nina they wrote to each other during the Second World War. The letters which the newly wedded couple wrote to each other while being separated by the war are filled with fear and uncertainty as well as hope that the war would be over soon and things return back to ‘normal’. But the war did not end quickly and went on for another six devastating years until the Allies defeated Nazi Germany in 1945; when slowly, bit by bit, the horrible crimes that were committed during the war started to surface and Germany’s citizens began the long reconstruction process of what was left of the country after WW II. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/1621220546308-QVAO8HU3EDJ068WV9H2F/POST+1+number+3.jpg Faber-Castell Collage - Faber-Castell Collage “In 2020 I had the honour of creating an artwork for members of the famous Faber-Castell family and heirs of the world's largest and oldest manufacturers of pens, pencils, office & art supplies headquartered in Stein, Germany.

Dr. Estés writes in her bestselling book how “fairy tales, myths, and stories sharpen our sight, allowing us to pick up the path left by our wildish nature. This path leads us deeper into our own knowing and instinctual Self.” The wildish nature referred to here is not used in its modern sense, meaning ‘crazy or out of control’, but in its original sense, referring to the intrinsically creative & passionate parts of us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/9c0b88e3-1eb9-431e-9989-17be98c900d2/92eaf3b3-e0fc-482d-b487-9b5a162a51f2.jpg Private Workshops - In collaboration with Frido Cacao All ‘Cacao & Collage’ group workshops are offered in collaboration with Frido Cacao, sustainably sourced and directly imported from local farmers in Mexico.

At the beginning of the retreat, Jill will open the creative process by creating a large, collective & immersive collage.

His art reflects the exploration of themes around the idea of home, cultural displacement, the perception of our surroundings, and how one constructs a memory of a space. Not limited to the confines of the gallery, his practice engages the broader public sphere through arts education, interventions in urban space, and communities with issues of identity. His work has been deeply inspired by Jungian psychology and his childhood in the Caribbean coast of Colombia.

Amid this global crisis, Carlos and Jill collaborated for a performance about our new social distancing rules as a thematic foundation to explore our shared experience. Adhering to the social distancing rules, Carlos and Jill created a large circle by tying a 150cm rope to their ankles, the tension between them had to remain just right to paint a circle with their feet. This powerful act planted the seed for what would become the ongoing creative project, ‘Thresholds into Other Worlds.’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/1614750545537-BNXG2NHS1520Y16QC4DJ/File_010.jpeg Thresholds into Other Worlds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/1614750922909-XHGTJQK03I4YKJ6A7QIY/File_000.jpeg Thresholds into Other Worlds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/1614751138838-O0HQOHG53X4G2WO9CBZ3/File_040.jpeg Thresholds into Other Worlds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/1614751059349-BBEW5I85DLP7Y76A5UAY/File_011.jpeg Thresholds into Other Worlds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/1614750554132-K479G68NNPTMTEHK7CUK/File_001+%281%29.jpeg Thresholds into Other Worlds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/1614751022476-4HU16SQFN5H1TQPT7QEE/File_025.jpeg Thresholds into Other Worlds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/1614907076450-WCJ3RS02UXL7AG8YEIVX/File_001.jpg Thresholds into Other Worlds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/1614751074426-L779QUYCN0BO0385OMNJ/File_062.jpeg Thresholds into Other Worlds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/1614751216472-8GDTIVYEUO1643IJD2Z5/IMG_0657.JPG Thresholds into Other Worlds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/1614751145437-HXDGXOVNMWLFH93PQQ2H/File_081.jpeg Thresholds into Other Worlds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/5083814f-19a4-4b61-a8ac-7716fbc90d89/CC07EBD5-CB91-4F65-AA71-AF1C64A8C39E.jpg Thresholds into Other Worlds - The Evolution and Current Work Recognizing the profound impact on our well-being, Carlos and Jill turned their focus to community engagement. This led to the development of their ‘Thresholds into Other Worlds’ creative workshops. The collage workshops are designed to unite the community, offering a space where individuals could share their experiences of this changed reality. Participants are guided to create Mandalas that serve as tools for reflection and transformation, helping us to connect with our inner worlds while fostering a sense of unity and shared experience. On top of the community workshops, Carlos and Jill also started offering corporate workshops in 2024 called ‘Thresholds Into Other Worlds - Creative Activities For The Worksplace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/1701114490707-J4H10770J32SBHJT377L/IMG_0654.jpg Thresholds into Other Worlds https://www.bestillwithjill.com.au/organic-glitch daily 0.75 2024-08-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/e8920eb6-7c88-4dee-83c5-76d201d5a34d/jill_artwork_00006.jpg Organic Glitch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df2f46f6f472747182c2501/8f7fbf7f-640b-43a5-9b89-4cec314d5f6b/jill_artwork_00007.jpg Organic Glitch It was a very creative process for both artists, curating the visuals and sounds; watching the songs and images enhance each other and gather momentum until it turned into this moody, organic house, tropical rainforest vibe.
