"Creative Trinity" Workshop
The Three Layer Foundation of Artistic Success (Summer 2010)
1) Inspiration, 2) Resources, and 3) Management of our time and surroundings: these three elements touch the lives of most artists, whether one's art is a profession or passion. In this two-day workshop, three inspiring and accomplished facilitators will work with participants in group and individual sessions to accomplish the following:
Increase Abundance:
-- Find ways to better fund our projects and to create more consistent income streams
-- Discover how to fuel abundance thinking, and reduce fear & lack-based mindsets
-- Explore real, practical ways for our art to support itself (and us!)
Enhance Creative Flow:
-- Rekindle dimmed creative sparks and keep inspiration flowing and healthy
-- Learn tools for reducing distraction and maintaining focus and a larger sense of purpose
-- Adopt energetic creativity techniques to convert wispy ideas into impactful reality
Organize Your Time, Spaces, and Projects:
-- See where your artistic life can benefit from action-based goal-setting and 'soft structure'
-- Make a plan for organizing your creative tools and spaces
-- Create support systems to fall back upon in unstable or hectic times
We'll work hard, we'll start things, we'll laugh with each other, we'll share the journey, we'll finish things, we'll have a blast. You will leave ready to take on whatever comes your way, with grace, talent, and ease. Contact us or sign up on our CreativeWeekends.com mailing list for updates and additional info.

Spring Renewal Weekend:
A Women’s Retreat to Nurture Body, Mind, and Spirit (Dates TBA - Summer 2010)
How many of us support and nurture those in our lives with complete confidence and commitment, yet find it hard to empower our own dreams with the same devotion? We care for our spouses, our children, our parents, our friends, our sweet animals. We run our own businesses, we chronicle our family’s activities, we work to stay healthy, we volunteer. It sometimes seems that the pace never lightens – there’s little light at the end of the tunnel. We’re often called upon to have almost super-human resilience, to never need anything for ourselves. But a part of us knows when we are on the edge of our resources and need to replenish. We’re edgy, impatient, moody; we’re frustrated by small things and find our sense of humor diminishing or turning dark. It’s these moments when we most need to listen to ourselves.
We give best when you have something to give; let’s refill the well that has been over-drawn upon for some time now. Let’s rest. Let’s try something NEW. Let’s look at the challenges and opportunities of our life with new eyes. Let’s let go of the hesitation which holds us back and step forward with excitement, clarity, and a PLAN.
The Spring Renewal gathering will create space with other powerful, inspiring women to find the time, energy, and resources to make your dreams come to LIFE. This can be the weekend that begins it all for you…the time when everything starts shifting toward a more fulfilling, thrilling direction. Changes you’ve wanted to create for a long time will beautifully, gracefully, begin taking place. And you’ll somehow find yourself remembering your own brilliance again.
The weekend will include:
• writing exercises to clear, recenter, and remember ourselves
• intuition nature walks -- time to breathe, listen, and see again
• one-on-one creativity coaching to create some momentum and dissolve blocks
• massage and other bodywork options for relaxation and gentle shifts in energy
• guided group meditation and yoga to gather and focus our energy
• music therapy – live music accompanied by exercises and discussion
• art activities -- let's get our hands dirty and our minds buzzing
