To create is to live fully: To heal. To dare. To dream. To BE.

 

This is what I believe. This is what inspires this site. My books. My art. All of my work.

This is what I long to share with you.

When I find someone likeminded I listen to my gut closely before I say yes to collaboration, because in great collaboration, magic is made.

Today’s post shares the chance to WIN the fruits of multiple women’s creative collaborations in not one but two FABULOUS giveaways.

Spectrum 2016

I first met Hali Karla online in 2014 when she approached me to be a guest teacher at Spectrum 2015. It was an immediate yes. And since then her work has enriched me beyond belief. When she interviewed me last year I nearly rescheduled, I was feeling low and tired. But connecting with her, leaning into the power of her questions, awoke wisdom in me I didn’t even know I had. (You can listen here).

That is her ability – to coax magic, to use art to heal, to gather powerful creative souls.

You are invited to join us for Spectrum 2016 , her online Holistic-Creative workshop guided by 20 NEW featured teachers and more than 20 returning contributors (including me!) offering a variety of workshops, inspiration and invitations – all intended to empower, nurture and celebrate your innate creative expression, healing journey, and personal development.

There will be weekly inspiration & reflective activities related to mixed-media art-making and journaling, guidance on integrating your creative process and holistic awareness into your day-to-day life, and a variety of opportunities to connect, support and share with others in the growing Holistic-Creative online community.

The themes that will loosely guide the 2016 Spectrum experience are:

• Forgiveness,
• Shifting Perspective,
• Navigating Uncertainty,
• Integration,
• Alchemy,
• Connecting with Nature,
• Honoring Body,
• Trusting Joy,
• Expressing One’s Truth.

Pre-registration for Spectrum 2016 officially opens on February 1, 2016 (and the program will begin on May 2). So be sure to bookmark this page (or link) – so that you can check back to see if you win the giveaway here or sign up just as soon as it goes on sale.
