Who is Behind
HOLLOW VESSEL?
Hello, my name is Jasmine Powell.
I’ve been partnered with a compassionate man, Lachlan, for twenty-six years, who’s been patiently by my side as I’ve slowly evolved.
I’ve also been in psychotherapy for sixteen years with a gifted soul who guides me along my most authentic path.
MY VISION
Being present.
Being present is about welcoming more presence into day-to-day life, more stillness, and that brings about more connection and an experience of awareness that is uniquely human.
It also naturally supports the creative process: to be an open vessel to receive creative impulses in that wondrous and mysterious way that it arises – nothing personal, but emanating from our person.
This doesn’t mean we’re always present. But being more naturally present makes the world of difference.
A key turning point for me was in 2025 when I had a shift in my consciousness – a mini awakening experience.
I have experienced crises since, but I return to a baseline of peace and calm that sustains me well.
My vision is simple: being present. All else stems from there, as a foundation for being in the world.
MY MISSION
I guide sensitive and neurodivergent creatives to focus on the present moment, so they become open channels for new and inspiring work.
