Your life is a work of art. What story will it tell? What will you leave behind?
Through my workshops and retreats, you will find inner guidance and begin creating something beautiful. Immersing yourself in natural wonders, you will find inspiration. In addition to writing, reflecting and art making, you will also learn and practice the ancient art of meditation. Out of mediation, profound insights arise. Join me if you want to be more creative, more inspired and more productive in your art form and in your life. Come if you wish to share something lasting; something beautiful. Allow yourself to be nurtured. Creativity is a process of allowing. It begins with an inner spark, which you feed, develop and actualize. Creativity must be birthed, and nurtured into being. It can be both magical and astounding. But it arises when we relax enough to invite it in. Coaxing forth its flow, a wellspring of creative solutions bubble to the surface. Inner wisdom helps us to initiate, not just action, but skillful creative action. Many intuitively inspired artists, poets and painters appear to find creative flow quite naturally. However, even for them, creativity can evaporate when pressure is present. Freeing the mind through meditation creates the ground for equanimity--that fertile state where brilliance breaks free. "Out of my decades long meditation practice has come my most inspired art, poetry and writing. My workshops and retreats offer you time, space and inspiration. You will learn and practice techniques, approaches that will move you from meditation to fertile creation. Most importantly, you will take these practices with you when you leave. I hope to meet you on retreat in Sedona or Chicago." Ann |
