About this course

Join this one day workshop to rediscover your creative mojo and a new inspired vision for your artistic practice.

Course Description

Whether you’ve lost your spark or have yet to find it, this coaching workshop will certainly help. Your tutor, an artist, coach and creative mentor, will encourage you to make a shift, or get started with your creative endeavors. You will be inspired, opened, and tooled-up to explore the multitude of possibilities available to you, while honouring and celebrating all that you are now.

This workshop will be perfect for you if:

- you are a creative person who would like to bring more clarity and focus to your practice

- you have a creative project in mind and would like some support getting it off the ground

- your old life doesn’t quite fit anymore and you’d like to explore what to do next

- there’s something you’ve always fancied trying but haven’t got round to… yet

Forget SMART goals, 5am workouts and green smoothies, this isn’t your tutor’s style of coaching. Your tutor’s methods are warm, humorous and proven to be highly effective. Her new paradigm coaching embraces the importance of sofa-bound cake-eating procrastination in the creative process, and invites you to indulge in day-dream scenarios without expectation of actually delivering on any of them! Her coaching style tickles ‘shoulds’ and ‘oughts’ into submission and enables you, one tiny comfortable step at a time, to rediscover your creative passions, and allow yourself and your unique creativity to fly on your own terms.

It will be a fun, intense and at times a revealing journey, leaving you feeling empowered, supported and confident to get your plans off the ground.
