Hi, I’m Maria

Creative Alignment Mentor

guiding remembrance through art and presence — based in the South of France.

What I once perceived as a weakness — my high sensitivity — has revealed itself over time as my greatest strength.
It allows me to sense deeply, to listen beyond words, and to guide others with deep intuition and presence.

Through sacred geometry, intuitive art, and energetic awareness, I support people in reconnecting with their inner compass — the place where clarity, creativity, and trust naturally arise.

Maria Friese – artist and mentor guiding healing and transformation through felt art, sensitivity, and sacred geometry.

My Story

I was born in East Germany and have lived in the southwest of France for many years, where I raised my two daughters.

Today, I live in the Pyrenees with my life partner, our animals, and a deep connection to nature — a landscape that continues to shape my work and rhythm.

Growing up in a country that no longer exists shaped my relationship to identity early on. Questions of freedom, belonging, and inner stability have accompanied me throughout my life — and they resonate deeply with the people I work with today.

Art has always been my home within. As a highly sensitive teenager, creating helped me regulate anxiety, reconnect with myself, and feel grounded again . This early experience awakened a lasting interest in art as a path of healing and inner development.

I studied textile design at the School of Applied Arts in Schneeberg, where I discovered felting — a medium that became a central thread in my creative life. After completing my studies, I moved to France and began my career as a textile artist.

In 2013, my sculptural work Cycle was awarded the Jeunes Créateurs Prize by Ateliers d’Art de France, opening the door to national and international exhibitions and teaching invitations across Europe, Central, North and South America . Alongside my artistic practice, I taught in design schools and professional training programs for many years.

Yet in 2016, a profound inner shift occurred.

Teaching technique alone no longer felt aligned. I felt a clear call toward deeper, more transformational work — a movement that touched every aspect of my life.

Through a long process of inner shedding and reorientation, I trained in Dynamic Art Therapy, Craniosacral Energy Work (Cranio 5D) and Sacred Geometry. These experiences gave language and structure to what I had always sensed:

that creativity, the body, and inner listening are inseparable.

During this time, I stepped away from felting to explore other creative languages — watercolor, movement, voice, writing — allowing a new, more authentic expression to emerge.

Travel, especially to Andalusia and Morocco, reconnected me with sacred geometry as a living language — not decoration, but a bridge between matter and spirit. This understanding eventually guided me back to felting in a completely new way:

as a practice of alignment, coherence, and meaning.

Today, art is no longer something I do.
It is a way of listening, remembering, and living.

Everything I offer — my mentorships, retreats, trainings, and creative work — is rooted in this path:

Supporting others to reconnect with their inner guidance and become conscious creators of their own lives.

Trust your sensitivity — it is not a weakness, but the compass that leads you home.

My Work Today

Today, my work bridges creative practice and spiritual transformation.
I help sensitive, creative souls reconnect with their essence through:

  • Intuitive & Sacred Geometry Art — as a mirror of harmony and beauty
  • Transformational Mentorships — like Trust Within, a journey to awaken inner confidence
  • Professional TrainingsMastering Patterns is designed for felt artists, art therapists, facilitators, and all those ready to explore deep alignment through the power of creativity
  • Immersive Retreats — in the South of France, blending art, energy, and nature

My mission is simple:

To help you remember who you are beneath the noise, and to create a life that feels as true and soulful as a work of art.

My Approach

I believe art is more than expression — it is a path of remembering. Remembering who we truly are.

The creative process teaches us how life moves: from chaos to order, from fear to trust, from control to surrender.

Whether we draw, felt, breathe, or simply sit in silence — each moment of presence brings us closer to harmony and inner peace. Closer to who we truly are.

My role is not to teach you what to do, but to guide you into remembering the wisdom that already lives within you.
