A guided creative journey for people who live with emotional highs and lows, and who are ready to stop carrying the storm alone.
Over 8 weeks, in a small circle of people who understand, you'll learn to name your inner weather, turn it into color and words, and build a place you can return to after any high or any low.
Clinical content feels cold. Motivational content feels hollow. This program sits in between: honest, creative, and led by someone who has lived it for more than 21 years.
Three phases, built from 21 years of lived experience. Each one moves you a step further from the storm and closer to the bloom.
You learn to read your highs and lows from the inside and create your personal weather map. With Language Transmutation, you move from "I am" to "I feel", then turn each feeling into your first pieces of color and writing.
Weekly live watercolor and writing practice, guided step by step. You connect with yourself through what you make, and with the circle through the story behind each piece. No art experience needed.
You design your own Creativity Corner, a ritual to return to after any high or any low, and celebrate your journey in a closing gallery with the circle. You keep the circle and the community after the program ends.
“She helps people facing challenges in their lives by sharing her own journey, her positive attitude, and her belief in always keeping moving forward, no matter how bad the weather gets or how high the waves become.”
ALBANDARI is a great author and artist I came across on X. She is building her business with a real passion for her art and writing, while also approaching it with a strong business mindset and a relentless attitude. I really enjoy her writing across different platforms, where she helps people facing challenges in their lives by sharing her own journey, her positive attitude, and her belief in always keeping moving forward, no matter how bad the weather gets or how high the waves become.
I highly recommend reading her publications, exploring her artwork, and getting on board her ship for the journey. I am genuinely glad to have met and gotten to know such an honest and hardworking person, and I wish her all the best as she continues her journey toward becoming an international book author and artist.
Akram AbouzeidFounder of Ak Development“What is the point of life's rock bottoms if they do not make us stronger? This is their purpose, and that is why they were created. And if we do not write about our experience with these depths, how else can we immortalize our strength in facing them and inspire others with it?”
I am grateful to destiny that led me to read this book by the brilliant and courageous author: ALBANDARI ALOTAIBI. Her writing style was smooth and deeply relatable, as she narrates her autobiographical journey with bipolar disorder, or as modern medicine calls it (bipolar disorder), with a swelling emotion that touches the heart.
The author shares her experience with the illness to raise awareness of what it is and how she pulled herself out of this pain and suffering, with the presence of loving and supportive family and friends, along with the difficulties she faced during her studies and upon entering university.
The brilliance of her description and her meticulous attention to emotional details clearly shone through the pages of the book, especially in the part where the author says ("The Day I Died").
The author conveyed to us the impact of writing on her healing journey, resulting in a book that manifests in the most beautiful form of creativity and simplicity of style, after she had ("thought it impossible").
ALBANDARI offered advice to anyone suffering from perfectionism, which often hinders our productivity, and shared how she overcame it. She also mentioned another exercise for instantly turning negative thoughts into positive ones, and I expect that you, dear reader, will not regret applying it.
In the final chapter of the book, my emotions heightened while reading, and I wished the book would never end. In fact, I might just ask the author to write more volumes about her autobiography and successes.
Lastly, I wanted to say: When you experience weakness, then neutrality (feeling nothing toward life), and then move forward through life grateful for this neutrality, holding its hand toward strength—is this not the greatest thing a human being can go through? Al-Bandari translated this journey with her wonderful words as she described the path from weakness to strength.
ALBANDARI says: ("If depression is the price I must pay, then welcome to that price which makes me feel alive.")
The brilliant ALBANDARI, who chose to share her experience with bipolar disorder and inspire others by offering support through her words, teaches us in the end the importance of gratitude for what is in your hands, not looking at what is missing, and defining your choices in life to experience, through these two things, the quality and goodness of life.
Thank you, dear ALBANDARI, for giving me this opportunity to write my impression of the book, which touched me in every word and especially in its final part when you mentioned that in our moments of weakness, we always need the presence of others around us, and that every human being has the right to ask for help and will find someone to offer it from the necklaces of love surrounding them.
Saada AlzahraniBook Reader“Your success is our success. Speaking for myself, and I believe for my colleagues here as well, you have honestly been an inspiration to me, to us, and to everyone.
Despite the challenges you faced, we are proud of your achievements and the entire design system you built in such a short period of time! In just two and a half months, you transitioned to Figma and convinced the team of your choice, a very special decision.
Her resume was well organized, and it convinced us; it was extremely impressive. We bet on her success, and she truly succeeded, mashallah.”

I'm Albandari Alotaibi, a Saudi author and artist. For more than 21 years I've lived with bipolar disorder. I wrote Expel the Pain, returned to the brush after 26 years away, and named my Creativity Corner: a place to return to after any high or any low. This program is everything that helped me, shaped into a journey you can walk with others.

Saada AlzahraniReader of Expel the PainNo. Every creative practice is guided step by step. The goal is expression, not perfection.
No. This is a creative program built on lived experience, not medical or psychological treatment. It works alongside professional care, never instead of it. Please keep working with your doctor or therapist.
Every session is recorded, and the circle stays open between sessions, so you can catch up at your own pace.
Yes. Both paths can be paid in 3 monthly payments. The founding price is held for you as long as you join this first circle.
