This intimate and innovative six-week series of virtual retreats is based on my ebook  

6 Paths to Creativity and Exceptional Leadership

Conscious women lead with intuition and creativity.

This retreat will help you to clarify and to choose concrete steps that you can take to...

During the retreat I guide participants to create environments that inspire, explore their authentic selves, learn how to let go of fear and reframe negative self-talk,  engage in all their senses to access their intuition, discover rituals to inspire and empower, and transform their lives into days of passion, fulfillment and joy.

Create a personal environment, a sacred space to inspire

Explore yin energy and feminine empowerment

Identify natural sources of creativity and ways to enhance it

Learn how to let go and effectively deal with your inner critic

Discover how to get unstuck and nurture your creativity

Engage your senses and intuition to increase your awareness

Move with confidence in your creative abilities

Live life with courage and passion

Balance the elements of your life

Transform your life one week at a time

Creativity is not reserved for recognized artists.  We are each of us creative spirits.

Being creative is not about the skill to write, paint or play a musical instrument. It is about seeing art in all we are and do.  It is about being connected to your source of inspiration, knowing creativity when it shows up, and having the confidence to receive and express it.

As one of my favorite authors reminds us:

A Whole New Mind: Why right-Brainers will Rule The Future.  Daniel Pink

"The future belongs to a very different kind of person with a very different kind of mind  - creators and empathizers, pattern recognizers and meaning makers.  These people - artists, inventors, designers, storytellers, caregivers, consolers, big picture thinkers - will now reap society's richest rewards and share its greatest joys."

Creativity lives in the right side of the brain.  The side that moves from intuition and sees life in all it's possibility.  Conscious leaders develop this side of the brain to perfectly complement the linear, more logical left side.

A creative mindset is essential to happiness and sustainable success.  Why?  Because a creative mindset is open to possibility and change, is necessary to building a fulfilling and meaningful life just as it is to writing, painting, designing a new product, developing a speech, managing a team,  or any other creative endeavor. 

Julia Cameron reminds us about weekly practice

The Artist's Way Workbook.  Julia Cameron

"Tool Two: The Artist's Date: There is a second tool that is essential  to a creative awakening.  That tool is a weekly artist's date, a festive solo undertaking to explore something that excites or interests us. ... the artist's date is play."

My intention for this retreat is creativity and creation.  This is not a workshop or crowded teleclass, but six 90- minute mini-retreats designed to renew mind, spirit and creativity:  a warm and inspirational space for you to retreat from the busy, energy-draining days of life and business  

In the spirit of a guided retreat, I am offering you a treasure chest of resources, inspiration and support to help you clarify and choose concrete steps and create a personal plan of action to move into a space of possibility: a place where you can create something new and completely transform your life into exactly what you want it to be.

P.S.

This six-day virtual retreat may be the gift of a lifetime – literally.  Regularly my live coaching  programs require an investment of 6 months and a minimum $1,500.  I am offering this live coaching opportunity for a modest investment of your time and money – you'll reap the dividends for a lifetime.

 

I am offering it at the lower, 2009 prices.  This means you get to pay 2009 prices for a 2010 retreat experience. Call it my holiday spirit.   You can wait to give yourself this gift-of-a-lifetime, but know that next time it will be a higher investment.
