With Marika Moffitt of SoulDog Creative & SoulDog Wonder Collective as your guide, you'll have 52 weekly prompts to help you capture your journey with your Soul Dog.
In this course, you will receive all 52 prompts at once. You can go through them at your own pace, and/or join us in the SoulDog Wonder Collective community* to connect, create, and share our stories.
In each prompt, you'll receive inspiration for making art (photos, videos, painting, sketching, collaging, etc) inspired by the dog you love, and encouragement to write out another piece of your story.
By the end of the 52 prompts, you'll have a deeper connection to your Soul Dog and the beautiful story you share together.
*Your purchase of this course includes a 1-year membership to the Wonder Seekers community within SoulDog Wonder Collective. After your 1-year membership completes, you can renew on a yearly or monthly basis to continue your membership.
The first version of this course was created in December 2021. At that time, the course was focused on creating for and sharing our photos/videos/writing on Instagram as that was a great place to connect with community and share the things we were creating.
I no longer believe that Instagram is the best place to spend our precious time or share our beautiful art and stories, so I have reimagined SoulDog Journey Project to be an opportunity to reclaim our creativity, build community, and connect with our journeys at a deeper level.
If you want to share your SoulDog Journey Project on social media, that is totally okay. If you want to make art just for yourself, that is okay too.
But if you are longing to create, wonder, and connect with others on their SoulDog Journeys, I've created a community just for us - SoulDog Wonder Collective.
At this time, your purchase of SoulDog Journey Project includes a complimentary 1-year membership to the Wonder Seekers community within SoulDog Wonder Collective.
It is in this space where we will explore our creative wildness together. I will share my SoulDog Journey Project creative processes, behind-the-scenes of other personal projects, and more.
I made this course for all of us who have a special connection with the dog(s) in our life. Whether they are still here with us or not, our Soul Dogs help us to live our journeys with our whole hearts. No matter where you are in your journey with your dog, SoulDog Journey Project will give you something beautiful to remember it by.
This can be a beginning for you and your dog. If you're at the start your life together, your SoulDog Journey Project can help you strengthen your bond while exploring new experiences through weekly creative adventures.
This can be a pathway to deepening your connection with your Soul Dog. If you've been on your journey for a while now, this is the perfect opportunity to honor how far you've come, celebrate where you are currently, and dream of where your journey will lead you in the future.
This can be a healing process of reconnection to your journey with your Soul Dog who has passed on from this world. You have a lifetime of memories with them just waiting to inspire your creative exploration. Let those memories guide you on this next piece of your journey inspired by your Soul Dog.
After enrolling in the SoulDog Journey Project course, you'll receive access to all of the prompts when the course launches (this includes 52 creative prompts and 52 story prompts).
You can finish each prompt at your own pace, but I recommend you give yourself a week for each.
Weekly inspiration and connection will be happening within the SoulDog Wonder Collective community (you'll receive access after beginning the course).
Not sure you're ready to begin? You can try out the first 3 prompts for free by signing up via the button below.
In case you're wondering about things...
You do not need to be a great photographer or have a fancy camera in order to participate in the SoulDog Journey Project. A smartphone camera will do just fine. Additionally, you do not need to have the best art supplies. We are all about doing things wildly, so you can start with what you have available to you.
The course is self-paced, so you can start it whenever you're ready. None of the prompts are based around specific times of year, so whether you start it in January or June, it doesn't matter. We will be working through prompts within SoulDog Wonder Collective, but you can join at any time. You might choose to start with prompts in the middle or near the end. The prompts are a starting point for our creative journey. All we have to do is begin, and then we're on our way!
You don't have to share your art, photos, videos, or stories publicly if you don't want to. The benefit of sharing with community is the connections you can create through shared experiences. If you prefer to follow the prompts in order to be inspired to create for just yourself, that is totally okay. The main goal of this course is for you to build a deeper connection with the dog you love while capturing your journey together.
It's okay if you're not sure if your dog is your Soul Dog yet. Your connection still matters. The journey you're on with the dog(s) in your life is beautiful. Working through the SoulDog Journey Project prompts with them will bring you closer, and at the end of it, you'll be so happy to have done it together.
If you don't feel like you have any artistic or writing abilities, that's okay. I am a firm believer that creative expression, no matter the form, belongs to all of us. We are here to experiment, connect, and learn together. Nothing we make has to be "good." It just has to be from the heart.
I've created SoulDog Wonder Collective for us to have another place to connect, create, and share our stories outside of social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook. But you are absolutely welcome to share the art and stories you create through this journey wherever your heart wants to, including social media platforms. (No content from other members may be shared anywhere without their permission)
If the dog you'd like to be the inspiration for this project is no longer living, you can use these prompts as inspiration for a retrospective project. This is how I (Marika) plan to create art inspired by my journey with Kerouac. I will be doing this within the SoulDog Wonder Collective community.
As a thank you for purchasing this course, I've included a 1-year membership (valued at $110) to SoulDog Wonder Collective.
If you don't want to join the community, that's okay. It's not a requirement.
There is no discount for not redeeming your 1-year membership to SoulDog Wonder Collective community.
While we won't be teaching you how to paint or draw or make other kinds of art through this course, within the SoulDog Wonder Collective community, we will be exploring different forms of creative expression. As a professional dog photographer, I am able to help you with any photography-related questions. In the future, I hope to bring in some other artists to teach us some things, but to start, we're just doing it all wild. I'll share my creative journey in SoulDog Wonder Collective, so you can see how I'm experimenting with different mediums.

Artist | Photographer | Creative Wildling
I’m an artist, photographer, and creative wildling seeking wonder in the things that move us - dogs, nature, art, and each other.
I've been on a journey of healing since my Soul Dog, Kerouac, died in 2021. It's been a wild and emotional adventure in which I've had to say goodbye to a lot of things, a lot of dreams, and a lot of beliefs I thought I would need forever.
Over the past few years, I realized that the spaces I was creating for and sharing my work in (Facebook, Instagram, etc) were no longer bringing me joy. They were making me feel trapped and disconnected from myself.
So I stopped sharing my art there, and began imagining new ways to create the freedom and belonging I longed for. Not just for myself, but for anyone else seeking more wonder in life.
My intention as an artist isn’t to be seen - it’s to see.
And to help others see the beauty in being alive, celebrating our stories, and living the journey with the animals we love.
And creating art inspired by it all.
Thank you for being here on this journey with me.
Stay wild,
Marika
