Welcome to Multilayered!
I'm Vanja Vukelic—a writer, self-taught artist, mother, and earth intuitive. I love talking to plants and translating their messages through art. I also engage deeply in dream tending and all aspects of motherhood.
For a long time, I kept my war and refugee experiences hidden, believing they wouldn't resonate with others and might hinder my sense of belonging. This newsletter is my way of breaking that silence, allowing myself to honor and voice all parts of my story. A story that is steeped in synchronicity, one that has nurtured a steadfast friendship with one of my greatest allies: my intuition.
Our personal experiences are doorways that, when approached with honesty, can lead us to profound insights and healing.
I am deeply intrigued by the complex fabric of identity and the narratives that weave through us. My focus lies in the unseen and the unspoken, the physical and the otherworldly—what we hold on to, what we release, what is fractured, and what remains whole. I believe that each person is composed of layered identities and boundless imagination, and that every story, in its fullness, deserves to be told.
I write to show my son how vital this art is to me, hoping he’ll see the value in pursuing what he loves. I want him to respect the time and effort it takes to create, so he can confidently follow his own passions.
Writing is my way of creating a slow, authentic space.
I write to be of service and to challenge the forces of patriarchy, capitalism, and other oppressive systems.
***Multilayered explores the connection with the living world, our shared search for home, the complex fabric of identity, and the interplay of synchronicity, imagination, and intuition.***
