My name is Van Doren Figueredo and this is my own personal journey inwhich I've found that "intuition" plays an important role in our daily lives. It's been now nearly 15 years that I've had the opportunity to be of service to many in the world providing readings as an Intuitive Consultant.
As I recall, during my grade school years of 3rd and 4th I was considered a "gifted" child and was placed in special classes: "The Gifted Program". I remember vividly the trailers that had large monitors with the yellow /orange font and floppy disks were as big as album covers. These computers were still not even available in our homes. ATARI' was one of the best home games that kept you up all night long playing PING PONG and it was so popular. This tells you a lot about our technology today. During the early 70's in the 4th grade I was learning to type and computers just seemed so easy and familiar to use. As a child I felt more advanced than most school aged kids and I absorbed so much information with a photographic memory. I felt trapped in my own subconscious mind within the gifted program offered in elementary school. I felt fear that I was different than most. Why? Because of being ahead of my own time. Some refer to it as an "old soul".
Growing up in a Latino family as a native Californian these gifts which I carry today were not nurtured and were shut off. Nonetheless, I didn't know the difference, but during a turning point of my life it all resurfaced without any explanation and I encountered a spiritual awakening in 1997 during my sleep. I awoke to what is called today "automatic writing".
I've always have been fascinated by Psychology. I volunteered as a Hospice advocate in Las Vegas, Nevada and educated myself in Human Services at a University in San Diego. My growth as an Intuitive Consultant has led into many open doors in my Career. With my property management and business administration skills in Orange County, my own gifted artistic abilities became extremely useful in cleaning up Homeowner Associations. My colleagues gave me the title of “The Ghetto Specialist". I was given the most challenging communities with a diversity of people that needed guidance. The best part was that I got to see the transformation take place, having the cultural unity as it came together. It kept me grounded and able to fit into society.
Yet another detour took place as the Corporate world shut its doors and Spirit guided me to the Life Arts Building to open doors to ARTISTIC IN2ITION STUDIO & BOUTIQ', so here we are. Where do we go from here? "WE ARE ALL ARTISTS OF OUR OWN KIND, SHARING, GIVING, OFFERING, AND DISPLAYING SOME TYPE OF EXPRESSION".
We sit in one big box of building blocks in a historical building where history is still "re-cycling". Just last week I was told by an artist off the street that Life Arts Center is a "Magical Building" and I do believe it. The experience is amazing in this extraordinary building as it celebrated its 100 years in 2009 on a solid foundation in the heart of downtown Riverside, California.
ARTISTIC IN2ITION has now opened "The Arts Of Healing" with Arts Walk and we feature very gifted "intuitive consultants (psychics), practitioners, artists, crafters, vendors and musicians." These professionals are now stepping up in the world to give back to the community with their specialized services.
I’ve always looked at life as learning to live outside the box and being able to encounter life experiences by having an open mind and paying it forward through all walks of life with no judgment.
ARTISTIC IN2ITION STUDIO #38 came through a dream, a reality and a connection. Number 38 = 11 and is considered a master number in numerology; whereas (two) 2 connects with professional like-minded individuals. Everything happens for a reason and perhaps you are reading this because you were guided here, intrigued or will return at a later date. Maybe you can relate to this story and bring your own story out to share with the rest of us. My personal motto is: "Facts Tell but Stories Sell".
I would like thank all those individuals, including family and friends, that have been my reflection and have been very supportive through this journey and who have been able to offer their "gifted talents" in a very artistic way. You are the reason why we become creators and can voice an artistic talent..
