Get Back on the Horse - For Creatives Who Haven't Been Creating, Tuesday July 20th, 7:00 pm

Many creative people experience times of not creating (though we usually don’t like to talk about it). If explored, these times offer the opportunity for growth and can enrich the creative experience. This class will provide people with the chance to reflect on creative blocks and obstacles, and what they might do to overcome them.

My workshops utilize reflective writing and group discussion to create awareness and are good for all creative types! Expect to have fun while you learn about yourself! Adults only please.

This workshop will be held at at a private residence in NE Portland. Please email me for details and to register.

Pilot Test - come to this new workshop for $10 - half my regular price!

Other Workshops!

I have a series of workshops I created that I am available to offer to your group or organization! Contact me for details and pricing.

What Every Creative Needs to Know - Creative Process and Creative Practice. Want to propel your creativity forward? Knowing your unique process and practice will help you make choices that support your natural style.

What I Learned from Working with Engineers - Creative Project Planning. Confession: I developed this planning process after my failed "I'm going to make documentary films!" experiment. Using basic planning tools can help keep you on track (and stop wasting time and money on projects you're not ever going to finish)!

If you have a workshop idea you'd like to see, let me know - I love creating new tools to support my creative community!

Groups

I love working with the energy of groups, and seeing the magic that happens when creative people come together to support and encourage each other.

Art and Abundance Group - Starting soon! Do you struggle to balance your art, money, and time? Do you feel that if only you had more (time, money, resources, support, fill in the blank) you could really do your art? Yeah, ME TOO. This time of economic shift is challenging us to look at our old ways that aren't working, and come up with a creative response. I want to break through to what will really support me, others, and the planet as a whole in this area. What about you?

I am starting a discussion group for those who want to work on art, abundance, time, and money issues and support others who are doing the same.

This group will be held at a private residence in NE Portland. $5 suggested donation. Please contact me if you are interested in participating!

Graduates Group - Coming Soon! I will be starting a group for art school / art program graduates in the Fall of 2010 - date and location TBA! Let me know if you are interested in this group!

I am available to provide coaching support for other groups - please contact me for information!
