WELCOME TO THE CHURCH OF THE MADLANDS
A world-building artist creates a complete, coherent reality where their ideas, aesthetics, and meaning can be experienced.
Here’s what you receive to start creating immediately.
Inside the Church, you don’t enter an empty space. There are programs and challenges already in motion, designed to make you create something real the moment you arrive. You’re guided, pushed, and supported to move immediately ~ not later, not when you’re ready. You make something, you put it out, and you learn how to give it value. From the first day, your art exists, and it can be seen, shared, and sold.
✦ The heart of your life-work —
A 7 day challenge to see your vision
✦ Follow your intuition into the unknown —
A 7 day challenge to get out of the loop of your daily life
Those tools and eBooks are built to move you out of your head and into action immediately. They don’t give you more to think about, they give you something to do. Each one is designed to cut through hesitation, clarify what you’re actually building, and help you turn your ideas into real projects. You’re not left collecting information. You’re guided to create, decide, and stack work that exists.
✦ A series of eBooks to help you immediately surpass your limitations and find the truth of your life’s work, so you can start building projects instead of scattering them
✦ A vulnerable and honest manual about Vae's experience with art, entrepreneurship, mentorship and the hardship of doing things alone.
Les classes d’art en français sont guidées par The High Warden of the Church of the Madlands, Adriane Amri~ une artiste parisienne dont le travail est ancré dans la pratique tangible de la création, non pas dans la théorie.
Elle ne n'enseigne pas à réfléchir l'art, mais à le faire exister. À travers ses sessions, elle amène les membres de l'église à créer, à tester, à te confronter à différente matière, et à créer la cartographie de leur vision d'artiste en la mettant en mouvement de mois en mois.
✦ Classe mensuelle en français
The Church follows its own calendar, shaped around nature, intuition, and the self. Instead of moving through time unconsciously, you enter a rhythm of specific moments dedicated to creating, reflecting, and marking what is shifting inside you. These celebrations give your inspiration a cadence, your vision a sense of time, and your life a structure where creation is not random, but part of something continuous and real.
✦ Weekly feeling-based rituals
✦ Seasonnal celebrations
✦ Festivals
You feel it, even if you don’t always say it. That heaviness, like something important in you has nowhere to go. You carry ideas, images, impulses, drive, vision but they stay inside, unfinished and unseen, and after a while it starts to feel like you are the one disappearing with them. You try to keep going, to stay at your 9-5 normal job, to fit your art around everything else, but it leaves you empty, tired and depressed. Not because you’re incapable, and not because you don’t care, but because what wants to exist through you has no place to land. And living like that, day after day, starts to feel unbearably lonely.
Your art has no place to exist, and neither do you, without it.
As artists, you’re not here to repeat what already exists. You’re here to see what isn’t there yet, to hold ideas before they make sense, and to give form to things most people can’t name. You feel more, you notice more, and you’re meant to turn that into something real.
BLOCK #1
You feel something VERY clearly, you finally have that vision you've been waiting for your whole life and you're convinced it's THE ONE! You have all the idea, the images, a direction. But the moment you feel like making it real finally, you doubt it. You ask yourself if it makes sense, if it’s good enough, if it’s worth it. Instead of creating, you freeze. You're now paralyzed.
✖ you lose the original impulse
✖ you start thinking instead of creating
✖ nothing becomes real (ever)
A vision only becomes clear
when it exists.
BLOCK #2
Well... let's get straight into it. You don’t avoid creating, you avoid being seen, so instead of making something real, you forever stay in preparation. You research, you organize, you plan, you learn, you “get ready.” It feels productive, in a sense. But you've been preparing for years and nothing actually exists. Do you see the loop you're in for years?
✖ you stay busy, but nothing moves
✖ you delay the moment of exposure
✖ your work never leaves your head
Preparation doesn’t create clarity, creation does.
BLOCK #3
You feel it every time you’re about to choose. A quiet tension, like something important is at stake. You see all the possibilities at once, and instead of moving, you hold them ~ afraid to pick the wrong one, afraid to close doors you might need later. So you stay in between. Nothing fully chosen, nothing fully built. And after a while, it starts to feel like you’re going nowhere, even though your mind is full. Not because you don’t know what to do, but because you don’t trust yourself enough to commit and see it through.
✖ nothing is fully chosen
✖ you have 1000 projects but nothing piles up
✖ everything stays in possibility
Your vision doesn’t come from options, it comes from what you decide to build.
BLOCK #4
You feel a not-so-quiet discomfort when money enters your work, right? It starts to feel wrong ~ like charging for it would make it less pure, less honest, almost greedy. So you hold back, underprice, or avoid it altogether. At the same time, you've internalized the idea that “there’s no money in art,” so you don’t even expect it to work. And underneath all of it, money stops being just money ~ it becomes a reflection of your worth, their legitimacy, their identity. So every price, every sale, every absence of it feels personal.
✖ your art stays invisible or underpriced
✖ you struggle to receive for your work
✖ you never experience your art as something that has value
Art doesn’t lose its meaning when it holds value, it nourish it.
And you need to remember what your true purpose is.
As artists, you’re not here to repeat what already exists. You’re here to see what isn’t there yet, to hold ideas before they make sense, and to give form to things most people can’t name. You feel more, you notice more, and you’re meant to turn that into something real.
