Pause like an artist
Hello you, Has this caught you at a moment where you just can’t take one more thing? (I feel you). No matter how much you try to simplify your life, is the end of the year piling up around you like broken chairs and you don’t know how you’re going to get out? (I’m with you). Have you been dreaming about either: A) Blowing $300 at the $2 shop and then punching yourself in the head; or B) Floating off and becoming an invisible mushroom spore? (I love you).* I would like to offer you something that you might just need right now: some moments of creative presence. I will be running three ‘Creative Intermission’ sessions between now and the end of the year. These are free, short (20 minutes long) Zoom sessions where we practice pausing like an artist. Together, we will take in our world with soft eyes, listen inwards, maybe move a bit, maybe make some marks on a page. All you have to do is show up. If you are really, really, really tired and this feels like ‘just one more thing to add to the list’, please be free! (And consider this your permission slip to go lie down and close your eyes for a moment). But if, like me, you feel a deep sense of relief when you take some time to pause from your busy-ness and create in an open ended way; If it releases the pressure valve; If it helps you stay with yourself as you do all the impossible things you do every day (I see you) then please come and join me. Of course we could try to do this on our own, but sometimes it just feels easier to do it together.

P.S. Next year I really want you to make your art and I am offering a new programme to support you to do it.
'Make It Tangible' is a 6-month mentorship programme for sensitive revolutionaries to bring their secret creative dreams from the world of imagination into the world of tangible reality. You will learn essential tools to harness your creative power, so you can make the art and the impact you are here to make. There are different levels to choose from, to suit you needs: whether you just want more creative play in your life, you want to start taking bigger creative risks, or you want deep support to birth something big. We kick off in January 2023. Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll make sure you are the first to know when bookings open. |
