Why You Should Take This Class: Sometimes the best answers are the simplest. Can you hear that intuitive voice saying “now”, “start”? For anxious in love, occasional creative types wanting to feel less anxious with separateness and less occasional about the creative, this class is for you.
If you’ve always wanted to do more creative stuff but put other things ahead of this, this class will not only teach you the basics of 3 mediums but help you learn the self-compassionate skills required to begin something new, allow yourself to experiment, play and learn and further enhance your self-awareness. The practical creative skills will give you a foundation to work out what you might like to do and build on that further while also giving you the self-reflective practice to apply creativity in other areas of your life, whatever that might look like for you.
As a reformed people pleaser and trauma-informed psychosomatics coach interested in all things anxious attachment, relationships and emotional regulation, I was late to discover my love for creative pursuits so take it from me it’s never too late!
Who This Class is For: This class is for creative beginners and intermediates alike and those who are also specifically interested in inner work around anxious attachment and people pleasing, but the creative skills taught here will work for anyone. This is a creative class! No prior knowledge or high level of expertise is required to get the most out of this class.
