Has Your Spirit Been Dreaming of a More Creative Life?
One where you spend more time…
Making art, writing, speaking, dancing, sculpting, singing or designing world changing programs?
One where creative inspired ideas manifest into FULL BLOWN - IN THE WORLD - art, shows, concerts, performances, books, projects, businesses, missions?
Would you like to enjoy the process of creating MORE
& Be able to share your Creations more BOLDLY and CONFIDENTLY in Your Community.
If this is you, you’re in the right place.
Settle in for a little slowing down, breathing room & creative play. The creative life requires two skills: One Focused and strategic and the other playful, restful & FREE. We are schooled in structure, timelines and linear paths to success. BUT we’re NOT taught how to: BE | ALLOW | FLOW with the energy of the Universe!
Being (or non-doing) can be really uncomfortable for many of us in the West and allowing or following the flow of the universe can feel like giving up control and diving into the unknown. But this is the place where the synchronicities and creative “mistakes” surprise and delight us.
What we won’t be doing is the typical hustling that looks like (or more importantly FEELS LIKE) is…PUSHING | STRIVING | STRUGGLING!
In this 6 week online program…..
We will cover ways to become clear, confident and boldly visible with your creativity AND enjoy it! The topics:
Visioning & Reconnection
Connect with what is possible. Maybe this means resurrecting an old, long lost dream of writing that children’s book or maybe it’s a new, wild, out of this world idea of starting your own fashion line
Connect with your creative dream and cultivate belief in your idea so it becomes a full fledged-real world goal.
Intuition & Emotional Guidance
Most of us are taught to look outside of ourselves for direction. But, comparing ourselves to others and trying to copy (exactly) what they have done - doesn’t work!
We need walk our own path and following our inner guidance fast tracks us to fulfillment.
Learning ways to connect to your intuition and how intuition relates to different emotional states. Practice moving forward on intuitive insights and build this muscle.
Cultivating Confidence
Sharing your creations and your process with boldness and confidence is possible.
We’ve been conditioned to believe that those with fancy degrees, those in the galleries, those already sitting at the table are the benchmark.
But each of us has a unique world view and lived experience and this is the special ingredient that the world needs.
Becoming an activist about your creations means not asking for permission to be and express all that you are.
Cultivating Pleasure
The human nervous system feels anything new as inherently risky. And creativity is, by definition, NEW.
Becoming a naturalist means balancing the awkwardness of moving out of the comfort zone with pleasure, self-care and relaxation practices.
The body needs awareness, honoring and care as we express what our spirit wants to expand into. This means following circadian and seasonal rhythms, adequate rest, movement, snacks and lattes.
Joyful Process - Allowing Play
Enjoying the process of creating requires a few skills:
1) Letting go of outcome - how will your creations be received, what will others think of you, will it be successful (a best seller, a money maker, a hit, popular, etc.).
2) Allowing joy, pleasure, fun - for its own sake. Our modern culture is hyper-focused on productivity, value and results. Enjoying ourselves is seen as “child’s play.” We outgrow enjoying ourselves.
Celebration
Learning to celebrate our small steps forward on our creative journey is a practice. We’re not waiting for big wins to celebrate.
Noticing each small accomplishment helps us keep moving forward and brings to light what is being accomplished and how far we have come.
