Creative Art Meditations: Virtual Retreat + Women's Circle

When was the last time you set aside time to simply create and just BE?

I invite you to treat yourself to your very own personal retreat day, to soothe your soul and to honor your highest good in the name of SELF-CARE + SELF-LOVE.

Please join our circle of creative soul sisters as we journey through these times and connect heart-to-heart at the canvas.

Intro to Abstracts + Intuitive Art

This heartfully created painting-made-easy workshop invites you to paint your HeART out and connect with your intuitive wisdom, while we explore abstract painting and mixed-media techniques. You will learn how to:

• Create your own unique intuitive, abstract painting from the comfort of your own home

• Explore abstract and mixed-media painting techniques

• Use the basic principles of design to create a cohesive, working piece of art work

• Connect with your intuitive, creative, visual, right brain (and give your logical left brain a much needed break!)

• Unleash your FREEDOM of EXPRESSION at the canvas

• Harness your intuition and expand that wisdom into your life

• Be gentle with yourself, be less critical, and more playful

• Connect in Creative Sisterhood from women from around the world

LOVE + PRAISE

2020 is a big year--for SO many reasons. 

What I know for sure is that we will each be called to listen to, honor, & follow our heARTs even more. That will take courage. 

We know the word, courage, has at its root, the word for heART. 

The “world” wants us to follow the most “logical” path, the path of the guaranteed or proven outcome / results. 

AND what we, as creatives, desire most is NOT logical or practical. We want to create change! 

OWL can illuminate new paths for you that would otherwise be obscured in the darkness of our fear. Fear of upsetting others. Fear of saying something wrong or contradictory. Fear of not being approved of or validated. I know ALL of these fears. 

I also know that together, validating each other’s “wild ideas” and visions of even more harmony, adventure, excitement, and love, we can create SO much more. 

So, I decided to join an intimate, 21 Day Creative Courage Challenge, inspired by the energy of the OWL, the theme of SOARING into new landscapes, and creating our vision for 2020 in full illumination of our heart’s desires. 

From December 1st to 21st, I will personally be participating in a special Creative Challenge alongside Whitney Freya and other Creatively Fit Coaches--and I want you to join me. There will be a private FB group (where I will be cheering you on, holding you accountable...along with Whitney), twice-a-week FB lives and two live group Zoom calls to hold each of us (I love that these events hold me accountable too!) accountable and focused on what we WANT in 2020, no matter what.

When you join me for this special Creative Courage Challenge, you will enjoy these added benefits:

• A LIVE Zoom group call, at two different times to fit your schedule, on December 3rd and December 19th.

• Membership to our private FB group just for this Creative Courage Challenge.

• Daily posts from me to inspire your heART.

• Weekly FB lives (four total) of live painting tutorials, guided meditations and more.

• Lifetime access to Art Gypsy Guatemala, the Owl Painting Experience.

• An opportunity to WIN a 2020 New Year Sacred Symbol Session with Whitney Freya, a $299 value.
  

GO HERE  to learn more and to join me. Check out the video for the course--it was all filmed in Guatemala at the magical Lake Atitlan--you will love the views.

I plan on creating very intentional time heading into the new year and focus on what is really important to me moving into 2020. I hope you join me to lay the foundation for a magical year of heART-guided action and experiences that light you up from the inside out! xoxo
