Just Imagine Class Registration Opens Tomorrow

Just Imagine Class Beginning for Fall

If you’d like a little help in dealing with creative overwhelm or other creative challenges you face, please consider joining me here in the studio for Just Imagine.

Painting completed during Just Imagine class

This is for you if…
You are still not working on your projects.
Still not creating what is in your heart.
Still answering to someone else’s call rather than your own.
Still not leading the life you imagine.
Still not following the unique call on your life.

Come explore with us…

What is standing in the way?

Why is it so hard?

Let me walk you through a process of creating real change. Let’s uncover the path to a vibrant, passionate and creative life that can be yours.

Let’s take a look deep inside to see what is blocking you from creating the compelling and stimulating work of your dreams.

Together we will explore the building blocks necessary to a healthy creative lifestyle.

We will take some time to look inward to help unleash your passion that is simmering right below the surface.

Start connecting the dots of your emotional, spiritual and creative needs to help you take the next steps in your journey.

And, the best thing…we will use art as the pathway for this discovery process.

January “Just Imagine” Class

 

I know some of you are still thinking about it-wondering if now is the time. Let me encourage you to try it. Don’t let fear, apprehension, or the past stand in the way. Give yourself permission to explore something new. A new year is among us. It’s time to look forward-to imagine what could be. For more information about the January/February class, look HERE. I have just a couple spots left for the Thursday night class. Contact me ([email protected]) by today (Dec. 28) or tomorrow (Dec. 29) if you want a spot.
