Presenting
Improvising Your Creative Life
We know these times are extraordinarily challenging for many. Partial scholarships are available. email us at improvyourcreativelife@gmail.com.
What if you could access your creative flow, uncover bias in your artistic perspective, and tap into your inner writer's genius to create work that you felt confident to share?
While we know our art flows better when we are free from stress, can be in the moment and listen to our surroundings, and need unadulterated time to dive into a project, we end up devoting our time to others rather than our own work, listening to that little voice in our heads that say we "can't do" or "we are an imposter", so we end up never fully reaching our full potential.
The problem is that without collaboration and a push, we get stuck and our great ideas never leave our head!
