Cherianne Dawn (Vibrational Alignments & Intuitive Symbology)

Most art invites us to look at an image. Cherianne Dawn creates artwork with a different intention: to influence the energetic atmosphere of a person or space through what she describes as Vibrational Alignments.

She holds a B.A. (Hons) in Fine Art, and works from a studio in Cheadle, in the Staffordshire Moorlands. At the Guildhall in September she runs a hands-on mini workshop in intuitive symbology, with all materials provided. You do not need to be able to draw, or even be artistic, to benefit — just come with an open mind and no expectations on results!

Working as a fine artist and founder of Animistic Art, Cherianne has developed a body of work based on Intuitive Symbology and channelled alignments. These symbolic forms are not intended simply as decoration or as representations of an idea. Instead, they are created with the intention of bringing the vibration of an individual, environment or aspect of life into greater harmony with the resonance embodied within the alignment itself.

Unlike traditional symbolic systems, the alignments are not assigned intellectual meanings or psychological interpretations. Their purpose is practical rather than metaphorical, aimed to create a change in resonance within the space or person interacting with them.

Before sharing this work publicly, Cherianne spent more than three years observing and investigating the effects of the alignments in homes, workplaces and personal settings. Her interest has always been grounded in observation and experience rather than belief alone, including exploring responses from individuals who were unaware of the intentions, or even that alignments had been introduced into an environment.

Describing herself as a practical and scientifically minded person with deeply spiritual beliefs and practices, Cherianne approaches the work less as an abstract spiritual concept and more as an ongoing exploration of resonance, environment and human experience. While the mechanisms involved are not yet understood within conventional scientific frameworks, her interest lies in the consistent patterns and outcomes she has observed over time. The intention is not to impose energy onto an environment, but to bring existing energies into greater harmony and balance.

The Workshop — Energy Alignment Within Spaces

At the Mind, Body, Spirit and Wellness Weekend, Cherianne will be offering an introduction to the principles behind vibrational alignments and the role intentional symbolism and placement can play within homes, studios and workplaces. The session explores how different environments carry their own character and energetic qualities, and how intentional imagery and symbolic alignments can be used to support the function and atmosphere of a space. Drawing on Cherianne’s work with Feng Shui and vibrational alignments, participants will be introduced to practical ways of considering resonance within their surroundings and how symbolic artwork can be incorporated intentionally rather than purely decoratively. No artistic experience is required and there is no expectation to create finished artwork. The workshop is designed to be accessible to anyone with an interest in the relationship between people, spaces and the environments they inhabit.

Beyond the Workshop

Alongside workshops and exhibitions, Cherianne creates original artworks, symbolic collections and alignment readings through Animistic Art, as well as incorporating meaningful symbolic elements into her holistic tattoo practice through her long-established studios. She offers personal alignment readings that incorporate crystal attunement, and she creates energy-aligning tattoos through Firefly Tattoo Parlour in Swadlincote and Ibstock. She has also written an introductory book, The Art of Intuitive Symbology, which sets out her initial journey into this work in more depth for anyone who wants to carry the ideas home and keep going. More recently, she has incorporated Sacred Site investigation, to activate and share their wisdom through the channelled alignments she receives on location.

Whether approached as art, environmental design, personal or locational exploration, or simply energetic practice, Cherianne’s work invites people to consider the possibility that symbols can do more than communicate learned meaning — they may also influence their emotions and spaces in a noticeable way.

Something to try this week

As you walk or look around your sleeping or working space, notice details that you may have overlooked through habit. Everything has a vibration: if you can see an overloaded bin in your eye line as you organise your diary, what do you think that may attract as you plan your week? Overwhelm? Neglect? Chaos? Or worse — all of your work heading to the rubbish pile. Consider areas that don’t feel supported: do you not sleep well in your bedroom? Feel overwhelmed in your office? Or struggle to relax in your living space? These are areas which may benefit from a symbol to inspire steps towards change. Consider your spaces before the workshop, and bring with you an intention or feeling for a specific location — this can be the alignment you feel into creating within the workshop!

Cherianne is one of over 70 readers, healers and stallholders at the Mind Body Spirit & Wellness Weekend, Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 September 2026, at Stockport Masonic Guildhall. Her workshop, like every session across the weekend, is included with entry.
