Creative Spark
Unleash Your Inner Artist
A 12-Week Course
based on The Artist’s Way
March 1 – May 24
“Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love.” ~ Rumi
Whether you are an entrepreneur, musician, lawyer, writer, stay-at-home parent or currently unemployed, creativity plays a vital role in your life’s work.
- Maybe you’ve longed to visit the museums of Paris.
- Maybe you’ve secretly written poetry for years and are feeling the urge to send it out to the world
- Maybe you’ve been dreaming of starting your own business.
- Maybe you’re a manager hoping to inspire your team
- Maybe you’ve found yourself in need of inspiration these days…
Within each of us, there resides an inner artist. While some may have been dormant for years, it is not too difficult to brush aside the ashes and discover the still-burning ember that you can use to ignite newpassion and enthusiasm in your life.
Your artistry could be speaking or sculpting, making business decisions, acting or writing… It doesn’t matter what form of expression you choose; what is imperative is that you express.
Creative Spark: Unleashing Your Inner Artist is a 12 week course that will walk you through The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity. This book sat on my shelf for YEARS before I finally worked my way through it in 2006. Since then, my whole world has changed, and I wish I would have picked it up sooner! Now you can join me on a journey to discover your imaginative, inspired self. The work is still yours to do, but I’ll provide support and answer any questions along the way.
See my Courses page for full course description & registration information.
Sunday, February 21st is the last day to lock in your early-bird rate!
New Digs
I just moved into my new office at 1308 NW 20th Ave in NW Portland’s Alphabet district. It’s in this cute blue house on the corner of 20th & Overton. The new location offers a ton of flexibility so I am now offering evening and weekend sessions.
Here’s my name on the sign… yay! (rockin’ Suite 5)
This is the entryway… how cute are these blossoms?
Can you tell I’m excited to be here? =)
Building Up or Tearing Down
The power of edification in your thoughts and words…
The Present Moment
This week’s Kniss Connection video focuses on the power of the present moment. As Chris Howard said, “Stop next monthing yourself.”
Synchronicity
Kniss Connection: I’ve given you a little blurb on synchronicity, and I challenge you to notice it in your life this week!
Help Haiti
Millions were affected by the recent earthquake in Haiti. Yep, Haiti, one of the most poverty-stricken nations on the planets, where infrastructures were already fragile, daily life already a challenge…
So how can we help? I love what Kelly Diels has thrown together:
What You Can DO.
Remember Gwen Bell’s Best of 2009 Blog Challenge? It brought a LOT (700+) of people together. Which got me thinking…a blog challenge is a way to rally together and have a big impact through a lot of little actions.
Hence: The Help Haiti Blog Challenge. Let’s do it.
Here’s how we can share, together, so we can give, together, to our people who need and deserve help in Haiti.
- Sign up for the Help Haiti Blog Challenge (below). Write about it on your blog and tag it “Help Haiti Blog Challenge“. Ask your people to join you and do the same.
- Add the Help Haiti Blog Challenge badge to your blog.
- Make your offer: I will donate ________ dollars to _________ on behalf of the next person who buys _________ from me.
- Make your donation and tell us how much you donated.
- Tweet about it using the hashtag #haitiblogchallenge. Update your facebook status with a request to pass on the message and the call to action. Send e-mails. Everywhere you are, online, talk about the Help Haiti Blog Challenge, tag it, and call your friends, family, colleagues – your people – to action.
So here’s my deal: I’ll donate my full Catalyst Session fee ($250) to Haiti causes from the 1st person who books and pays today.
How can you help?
