「 one born of stone, of time’s unyielding hand,
of weight that teaches truth by breaking bone
a patient death
the other born where nothing dares remain,
swing, swing, in fog and thought, breath,
unanchored stillness 」
THE CHURCH OF THE MADLANDS
AN IMAGINAL WORLD
The Church of the Madlands is an imaginal world structured by its own mythology, where creation is not separated from life or business. It is a space where artists, thinkers, and builders step out of conventional models and learn to organize their work, decisions, and revenue from a place that is intuitive, embodied, and deeply aligned. Here, business is not a strategy to follow but a world to construct—one that emerges from your inner architecture, your symbols, and your way of seeing. The Church exists to give form to what usually stays invisible, and to make creation, structure, and income move as one coherent system.
what is an imaginal world?
An imaginal world is a real inner territory with its own logic, symbols, and structure that you can enter, explore, and build from (not a metaphor or a fantasy you escape into). It exists at the intersection of imagination and reality, intuition and creation, where images, characters, and environments carry meaning and direction without needing to be explained. In an imaginal world, you don’t invent randomly, you encounter. It becomes a living source of decisions, art, and business, where what you create is not forced from the mind, but revealed through a deeper layer of you that already knows how things are meant to become real.
Why Build a Church Now?
The short answer is: because this is what has taken form in my psyche
That said, historically, artistic creation did not exist in isolation. It was held inside shared structures; communities, rituals, traditions, and symbolic frameworks that gave imagination rhythm and meaning over time. These structures were not only cultural; they were communal. When religion lost its central place in society, much of this collective scaffolding disappeared with it.
What replaced it was individual responsibility without shared ground.
Most contemporary solutions attempt to respond by offering visibility, information, or networking. What they rarely offer is a shared imaginative territory, recurring rituals, a common language, traditions, celebrations and a sense of belonging that does not need to be justified or optimized.
how do we create and expand?
responsability & ACTION
When we speak of radical responsibility, we are not asking you to carry blame. We are guiding you to recognize your authorship. We guide you back to the place where you can see that your reactions, your stories, your silences and your creations are shaping your experience, moment by moment. We practice stepping out of accusation and into deep awareness and action. We learn to ask, “What are we choosing here?” not to judge ourselves, but to reclaim our power. Here, responsibility is not a burden; it is the powerful remembering that you are always participating in the world you are living.
Intuition & feelings
When we speak of intuition, we are not speaking of something mystical, divine, or distant. We are speaking of the voice and the feelings that lives beneath the noise. We guide you to soften and slow down enough to hear and feel it; not as a dramatic voice, but as a subtle mouvement, a bodily knowing... sometimes; a simple shift in breath. Together, we practice trusting that inner knowing before reality confirms it. Intuition here is not fantasy; it is the most honest form of self-leadership. It is the part of you that already knows the next step, waiting for you to listen and act.
Appreciation & Celebrations
When we speak of appreciation, we are not speaking of forced gratitude or pretending everything is beautiful. We are guiding you to direct your attention with precision, towards expansion. Together, we practice noticing what is working, what is alive, what is already responding to you. Appreciation becomes a discipline of perception, a way of strengthening the reality you want to inhabit. It is not denial of difficulty; it is the awareness that everything has the power to support your expansion. Where nothing is good, or bad... but all beautifully necessary.
a bilingual experience
French & English
I chose to build my work in both French and English because the Church was never meant to belong to a single language or territory. My reality is already bilingual. I think, feel, and create across both, and so do the people I collaborate with. Working in two languages allows the work to move, to reach different minds and sensibilities without losing its essence. It also creates a richer field, where ideas are sharpened, challenged, and expanded through multiple perspectives. This is not about accessibility alone, but about building something that can exist beyond borders, carried by a network of creators who don’t all speak the same language, but recognize the same flame.

let's say i am a cartographer
(French canadian artist, entrepreneur, mentor, creative director, content creator)
Hey, I’m Vae.
I’ve been working with imagination, art, occult, inner worlds, and everything-business for over a decade, not as a psychologist but as a wild psyche explorer who decided to go all the way in.
I don’t diagnose I don’t heal I don’t fix. I bring back maps, treasure, landscape, infrastructure and lost parts of the self.
At this point, I’m not afraid to say I’ve been in deeper than any therapist I’ve ever met (I've met a lot), not because I had to, but because my heart couldn’t look away.
Everything I share comes from direct experience, mine, and the people I’ve guided. If you’re looking for therapy, or something polished and clinical, I’m not it.
But if you’re ready to explore the strange, the symbolic, and the brutally honest terrain of your inner world… Let me remind you how to fly.
