You can use any medium you want.

No rules you can paint, create poetry, collage, create a vision board, or upcycle a chair (me) make a dress anything you want to do. It has to be creative, this is a co-working art space.   That will be filled with fun, community and care.

what it isn’t

Coaching

I have a programme for that! This space is a compassionate peer mentoring container.

A Talking Therapy session

The only advice given is around creativity and there may be some tips shared but this isn’t Art Therapy although the space is highly therapeutic.

A place to disregard the boundaries of others.

Creatives are sensitive souls and we can feel very drained quickly so we ask all participants to be mindful of their own limits and sensitivity and this means being responsible for your self and their emotions during the sessions. This means taking breaks, having your own music if that suits you and taking responsibility for any triggers you may experience, as a Trauma-informed coach I offer ad hoc sessions so if you need support please contact me.

Other points

Some people may not want to speak during the sessions please don’t take this personally, as you know creatives are often in their imagination.

Your artwork doesn’t have to do will your business, remember it is a space for your brain to be expansive and this helps with planning and business.

Its best to have an open heart and be more compassionate with yourself during these sessions.

Creative Vision Workshop

This month we are focusing on the words of Krishnamurti

(A Theme is not a necessity but it’s good for focus and discussion).

Nobody can teach you about yourself except yourself, so you have to be the guru and the disciple yourself, and learn from yourself. What you learn from another is not true.

Questions

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is for the creative CEO who has created several leaps in their journey but suffers from Imposter Syndrome and is unable to sing their praises or tell the world how great their work is.

This workshop is for the creative who has a good product and is ready to go but is severely blocked, so strategies are not working. You need to clear the programming.

Why this workshop when you cover most of it on Instagram?

Because a carousel post does not explore deeper it only creates an AHA moment but it doesn’t really get to the bottom of the thought behind the feeling. Just because you get something it doesn’t mean you have overcome or changed the dynamic. You just have more information for your brain to play with or prove wrong, without knowledge of your why and language you will go back to doing the same thing again but with guilt added to it.

Will taking this workshop make me attract the right people?

This workshop will help you to post more consistently because the exercises will give you tools to manage your trauma response. As result, more people will see you, and if you use your authentic voice the right people will. Please bear in mind though that there is a process to attract the right audience and more information will be given during the workshop.

Where will the workshop be held?

The workshop will be via Zoom BST however I will run this at a suitable time so that most people will have access to it.

Will the session be recorded?

Because of the level of awareness and presence required the session won’t be recorded.

FREE WEBINAR

PLEASE REGISTER TO ATTEND.

We are living in unprecedented times and globally we in this together. There is no map or guidance on how to experience this situation because it is the first time that we have had a global pandemic during our lifetime.

As a practitioner I am also experiencing how to navigate a new landscape with my clients, this is not because I am using Zoom or other online platforms, my attention and angst is related to my place in a world where others are either waking up from a dream or a nightmare.

The reality is that our current or now past paradigm does not work and most of us have been working and living on autopilot.

And so in this place in my surrender to spirit, I have been told to keep sharing and creating space and community to help others through this world situation. My orientation during this current situation is in regards to my role as an artist and healer facilitates communities and processes for others.

And so this space is for us to come together and for me to share my tools from my professional and private training alongside naturopath Jifunza; A Naturopath, Nutritional Therapist & Student Herbalist who will provide information that you and your family can use to enhance or improve your emotional, physical and mental wellbeing.

'We are all in need of holistic healing. A holistic approach to health provides a sustainable model of healthcare.  One of the principle objectives of Naturopathic Medicine is to advocate self-responsibility for health. My approach is to empower individuals/communities to raise their consciousness about how their choices and actions in life have an impact on our individual and collective health and wellbeing. Placing a greater emphasis on prevention and education is key; adopting a lifelong ‘Prevention is better than cure’ approach. increasing self-awareness, confidence and the courage to renew our desire for self-care, awareness of true Self and purpose, and remembering how to restore and maintain balance on a physical, mental and emotional level to achieve health; harmony of the spirit, mind and body'.

Please share this event with your friends and family.

We will be focusing on

• The impact of the current global situation on BAME groups in the UK, and how this affects everybody.

• How we can create holistic practices that support our mental, emotional, cultural, spiritual and social needs.

• Creating the correct environment for healing in the home

• Developing emotional awareness to support healing; individually and collectively

There will be a Q and A session at the end of the presentation.

The session will begin with a guided meditation by MJ Fontaine.

You will be introduced to the Medicine wheel and the 5 elements.

Connect with your Cacao Goddess Archetype for 2020

Refine and set an intention for the next month and connect with your divine feminine energy.

Share with other progressive, like-minded women.

We will be working with Cacao, Essential oils, Sound and meditation.

Tickets are non-refundable.

We also have Kimonos by My Favourite dressmaker designer Akua Ofosuhene to try on take a picture or purchase on the day.
