Heart to Art to Heart

In this Creative Project, nothing is for me alone that is not for every other Creative Heart and Mind!

My name is Milena LoVeritas (N.Stojanovic)

Thank you for being here’, we truly appreciate your time and your interest in "Heart to Art to Heart" .

Why I’m inviting you to support this project and How it all developed to be my Ultimate lifetime Piece of Art and a huge Leap of Faith into the Unknown?

Creating from Heart to Art to Heart - Is about Us!

Our Creations are Billion of voices that speaks of Peace, Love, and Freedom. Raising the Creative Awareness in our Communities, Co-Creating together and Uniting in the Collective Mandala of All Creations, that Inspires people to tap into their own Creative Power and/or to learn how to consciously use the same for the purpose of healing, evolving, expanding and manifesting better, more Loving World we live in.

We Are Creators, Co-Creators, Builders and Shakers of our own reality, why not co-creating a Masterpiece of it All !?

Yet, this is not only about ourselves and our personal evolving. This project is the bridge for connecting to one another from the place of Love, Compassion, Kindness, Gratitude and the Joy of Giving and Receiving!

Those values fuels my life for decades and lifted me out of my deepest and darkest places, which is why I believe is worth sharing with the World.

It took me over three decades of exploring and researching the depths of Creative phenomena in Us as a Human Species. Perhaps better to say exercising, stretching and developing my creative talents/muscle' before I was open to receive the gift' of Epiphany – Creating from the space of Heart, sharing the love for the Humanity/Life itself and Connecting to others through the Arts and Our Conscious Co-Creating.


Heart To Art To Heart i.e.H2A2H - was born during my journey of being ‘homeless by choice’  living in the tent for 6 weeks, where I had an enormous breakthrough of many fears and have deepened the connection with Nature and my Creative Heart and Mind.


The Message' I've received contained all of my experiences, skills, lessons and the life long journey of creative work I have walked on. It felt as my entire life become the blank canvas waiting for the Masterpiece to be Co-Created in Unity and Collaboration with Others!

Three years ago when I started sharing the idea of H2A2H  I knew This Is Not going to be about me, nor about anything alike my previous projects , art pieces or creative endeavors.

It is a deep knowing that is about Uniting and Co-Creating together beyond our own desires, goals, and/or achievements and furthermore beyond any labels ,  prizes, and trophies.


Ever since the seed of H2A2H has been planted, it sprouts in every community I've lived and every heart that ( I like to believe ) my creations have touched. Some people were inspired to create more, some to learn how to tap into their own Creative Power and there was also those who's expression was : just another 'Crazy Artist'! Yet many creatives are equally passionate to keep spreading the love by sharing their own  creations, talents and skills.

Often times I find myself searching for the answers that are far grander than my humble experiences ...What would it take for us All ,as a Humanity to Unite our Creative Powers , to Co-Create and to Manifest our Collective dream of the Better, more Loving, and Peaceful World ?




After hundreds of sleepless nights developing that idea , H2A2H has become a vehicle’/platform for our creative discussions, new ideas and topics that we’re exploring and expanding on our meetups, gatherings, workshops, webinars and social media.

My intention is to reach millions of Creative Hearts around The World , yet my purpose is fulfilled even if only ONE person benefits from it. In the service for our collective evolving, so far thousands of creatives have connected through our creativity workshops and gatherings that have been uniquely tailored for rising the awareness of Conscious Creating.


We are only at the beginning of a long journey ahead ... but we know that every moment in time is yet another drop of color added to the bridge from Fear to Love, from Doubt to Knowing and from Heart to Heart !


Giving without expecting anything in return is in itself one of the most Human act that fulfills  not only a need for contribution and growth but will potentially trigger more empathy and compassion in others. Therefore , the Only requirement for joining us on this Creative Journey is to Create something out of Your Heart and pass it forward to someone else .

 You might question , How the exchange’ of love occurs in that process? ...the answer is - I don't know . What I do know is how it feels when someone gives us a Gift from the Heart .

In my humble opinion, All Creations contains a great amount of energy accumulated during the act of creating. When we're creating from the place of the Heart that is in alignment with our Minds, we are integrating all of our creative energy into the Creation Itself. Which is unavoidably an enormous amount of Energy force, that I like to call it - ‘The Container of Love” . In the process of giving, the same energy is transmitted to the viewer and/or receiver, regardless of our awareness of it or not.

This is our time as a collective to co-create together , to connect and collaborate with others with this rarely spoken language of compassion, kindness and love.


The next step forward for us is to connect with the communities in the less developed Countries such as former Yugoslavia where I was born and to co -create new possibilities for the  Ethno Creatives that haven't many opportunities for such expansion and sharing as we do here in Australia, Us, Canada act. Perhaps, co-creating the new pathways for more creative jobs in collaboration with other artists, creative activists, and visionaries.

Which brings me to the second part of my purpose for inviting you to help and support us continue on this journey.

 
 
Back to the roots of my Creative Heart.

 

On September 21st, 1995, the love for my mother and my son propelled me into the world of the unknown in search for the better future for my family and myself.

After 21 years of trying to bring my son and my mother in Australia, the Wheel of life has turned around and the same Love is pulling me back now to my roots.

It’s impossible’ for me to forget 16 hours of seating on the bench at the Central Station in Sydney, thinking: What now Milena? Here you are, arrived at the promised’ dream destination... where to go now and what to do with this 50$ and a suitcase? … I had no any knowledge of English, no any friends or family members to turn too and I didn’t know anything about Australia, except that, is beautiful Country!

What I did have, though, is endless love for my beloved ones, curiosity and undying will power to create new life for us.

As you may imagine, it took a great deal of courage, faith, resilience, strength, bravery, sacrifices and the years of creative ‘thinking’ for me to survive, to learn and to persevere during the extreme pain and suffering that I have experienced from that day onward. 


Below is the story about my last traumatic and near death experiences  that happened on November 24 2008, written by Routh Pollard, published in the SMH (me aka "Karla").



Perhaps, some wounds would remain buried so deep that I might not be able to see’ them , yet the treasure of this experiences, for me is priceless and I like to believe that one day, millions of other victims around the world will somehow benefit from them and rise above the victim-hood mindset. 

Creativity for me was and Is the vehicle that never failed to take me out of the darkest tunnels in my life and this is why I trust it will always bring us there where we co-create our path to take us.

 My family and why I’m going back.


My mother Milica is 77 years of age and she lives on her own in Serbia. She was always supportive, strong, brave Lady that never complained about being alone. She suffers from many illnesses (Parkinson D. Back/Hip pain, Heart act) and can hardly walk at this stage. Only few weeks ago I’ve received the call : “ I can’t do it any longer by myself my dear. I truly can’t and I need you…”  In her voice and in my heart, I felt her deep sadness and the painful truth she was hiding from me for a very long time.

Which without a doubt is the main reason for me to make this move and return back to be there for her. She has sacrificed much of her life in the name of love for her family, for us my brother and myself. My father who passed away 25 years ago , was a very violent man and we all have suffered because of his addiction to alcohol. Yet, no matter what she would go through with dad , she never failed to protect, support, guide and to motivate me every step on my path, even my choices was mostly out of any norms’ or her personal beliefs.

Three years ago when I left Serbia for the only couple of months, I’ve said to my mom :

“Mama, I will be back, never doubt or lose hope that everything will be ok somehow. I won’t let you be on your own nor I would ever let you down, no matter what.” …and Now is that time for me to fulfill my promises and give back to the One who deserves it the most.

Igor and me 5 years ago

My son Igor who is now 27 years of age , he was only 6.5y when we had to separate and he stayed with his nana in Serbia. Soon after his father find out that I’m in Australia, he took him away and have never returned him back to me. There are No words that can describe the pain, sorrow, and trauma that years of separation from my only child bring into my heart and into the heart of my son growing up without me.


Over 21 years we have seen each other only 4 times on my short visits to Macedonia. But the time and distance couldn’t separate our Hearts and deep connection we always had. We are both excited about our reunion and re-connection, Igor is also involved in H2A2H and is my only support in Serbia at this stage. I can’t find the words to describe how happy I am having my son on board, equally passionate about the purpose of this project.

This new beginning is exciting and overwhelming at the same time for all of us and in many ways very challenging. Serbia is struggling for decades from the last War in the early nineties, the times when I’ve left. People are losing their jobs or if they work they are often not paid for many months.The economy is collapsing rapidly, people are loosing their jobs and their inner drive to create the change in their lives. Needless to mention , just as in many other Countries around the World.

It’s been a long roller coaster journey for me before I decided to ask for help. But I know now that H2A2H is the Integration of all I've ever learned , experienced and developed over three decades of my creative living. This is my life and is not separated from my work or any other parts of who I am today. Therefore, I know that no matter at what speed or how it might be developed , Heart to Art to Heart will spiral up and expend for the greatest good of Us All.

I have supported this project on my own for the last three years and I've exhausted all of my resources/budget for continuing and expanding further.And because of that, We need your help .
