In Guidepost #6 Cultivating Creativity and Letting Go of Comparison  Brene Brown writes, "It's easy to see how difficult it is to make time for the important things such as creativity, gratitude, joy and authenticity when we're spending enormous amounts of energy conforming and competing." (Gifts of Imperfection pg 95)

6 Interactive & Inspiring Modules

Module One

Finding Time to Create

Many people suffer from the inability to allocate time to create. They often ask, "How do I find time to create?" Finding time comes from quieting the mind, overcoming exhaustion as a status symbol, and finding gratitude through stillness. Together we will explore ways in which you can carve out time from your schedule to nurture your creativity.

Time: 2 hours



Overcoming Distractions

Once we have found time, often the next battle is overcoming distractions. Willing to go deeper, our self-reflective journey requires an honest inventory of our personal delay tactics, and how we numb and shield against powerlessness, vulnerability, disappointment, the fear of rejection and the like.

Time: 2 hours



Module Two

Module Three

Overcoming Forcing the Process

At times it may feel as though you are forcing the process. Things are not flowing, or coming to you so easily. What can you do? Trusting the process starts with being willing and able to be vulnerable with your emotions, having acquired a degree of shame resilience. Having Self Compassion in combination with Authenticity (with your true emotions, skills and challenge) provides the means to overcome the pressure to create.

Time: 2 hours



Creating Meaningful Pieces

Many artists struggle with critical thoughts about their own work. They question whether their pieces are meaningful, or even how to create a meaningful piece. The source of creativity is our feelings. Choosing to avoid numbing by increasing our emotional and spiritual resilience; and, honouring our emotions so we have clarity: are part of creating meaningful work through creativity.

Time: 2 hours

Module Four

Module Five

Getting Over the Fear of What People Think

Vulnerability of sharing our inner most feelings through our art and creativity can evoke fear, shame and anxiety. Becoming shame resilient so that we can be authentic, listening to Divine Inspiration, and trusting the intuitive creative process with faith are all part of getting over the fear of what people think.

Time: 2 hours

 



Turning Dreams into Reality

Turning Dreams into Reality is the first step in transforming the yin energy of an Artist into the yang energy the Artist Manager. In addition to shame resilience it requires creating strategic partnerships, rest and play, laughter, song and dance. Turning your dreams into reality is about strategic networking with Your Career and Passion Tribe.

Time: 2 hours
