On Being “In The Zone”

Monday we had our monthly Playdate in the Creative Dream Circle, this month we playdated with Daring… kind of as the next step in working with Courage, which was the theme for May.

I was expecting daring to dare me to do better work or something like that.? (Which, in hindsight, was obviously my inner critic speaking)

Daring actually dared me to have more FUN and more specifically: to be more creatively alive.

I felt a HUGE energy shift during the playdate and have been enjoying it ever since.?

  • I got a cute new haircut (not pictured).
  • I went out to buy some cute new summer dresses but then got inspired instead to make some cute summer dresses so bought some adorable fabrics instead and now I’m kind of jumping up and down inside about being excited about sewing.
  • I started drawing like a crazy person.? Draw! Draw! Draw! Draw! Draw! I am obsessed.
  • I have Way More Energy and Inspiration is flowing like crazy. Crazy!

Oh yes, I am in the zone.

Which is exactly what I designed the Playdates to do: get us into the zone.

But still, I’m always kind of tickled that it works.

And it’s kind of funny in that because I am so super-in-the-zone I am actually doing better work. (So both me and my inner critic get to win 😉

I’m stunned both by the quality and quantity of stuff I just got done this morning, and how much juice I’ve still got in me to do more great stuff this afternoon.

So this is what I want to say about being in the zone:

It’s a really good place to be.

If you can choose to be in the zone or not be in the zone – definitely choose to be in the zone.

Oh – and you can always choose.

  • You know which practices and processes get you into the zone.
  • You know which habits and patterns take you out of it.

I say this to remind me that being in the zone is amazing!

AND Being in the zone has NO down side.

So why would I ever not be in the zone?

Are those habits and patterns that keep you out of the zone really so precious that you can’t do without them?

Going to write that down on a card and leave it by my bed so I see it every morning when I wake up.

Healing the hurt of not feeling supported in my dreams.

The Rainbow~licious Creative Healing Circle starts Friday.

This morning, I started the day with my journal and markers, exploring what it is I want to get out of this experience.? Of course with any healing journey you tend to get what you need more than what you want, but still, I like to go in with a plan.

As I explored, I found that what it is I want to let go of is more important than what I want to bring in.

It’s easier and more fun to think about what you want to invite in, but if you don’t clear some space and make things nice and comfy for your guests, they’re not going to stay.

See, I have had some really painful experiences around not being supported with my dreams.

What I have found is that there is a ceiling on the amount and type of support some people are willing/able to give.? And there tends to be more support for “the underdog” than there is for “the empowered creative genius”.? Which is STUPID.

And it hurts.

And that hurt is messing with my vibe.? And causing me to doubt myself and (sub-consciously) look for ways to sabotage success and stay small so I don’t encounter more of it.

Which is bullshit.

So I have been sorting through and shining light and bringing clarity, wisdom and healing into these patterns and beliefs… creating space inside me so I can invite in more of what I want.

This is a big job!? So I’m going to keep doing this all summer.

With meditation and journaling and CREATIVE PLAY.? Because this stuff is really hard and play makes it easier.

Creative journaling creates a space that allows for the magic of transformation to happen in really bautiful ways. (And if you didn’t guess from my photo above, you don’t exactly have to be a master artist to do it)

If you want to join me, the Rainbow~licious Creative Healing Circle is a gorgeous safe space for exploring what it is you need to get rid of, to make space for more of what you want in your life.? I would love to see you there!

PS If you’re curious about what happens the Rainbow~licious Creative Healing Circle you can read through the posts I wrote when I first did this Circle 2 years ago:

Of course, this is a healing journey so each journey is unique… you will have your own unique discoveries, revelations and transformations.

Daring Dares Me To Say No

Today I’m working on the materials for next month’s playdate in the Creative Dream Circle – the theme for June is DARING.

Daring appears as a female superhero holding a lightning bolt.

She obliterates anything and everything that is a distraction.

She dares me to say no.

To pull in tighter, to draw clearer boundaries, to create a stronger plan.

To commit more fully to my path by defining what that path is.

And then to obliterate everything that is outside of that path. Or at least put it somewhere where I can’t see it right now.

Which then dovetails with what I learned from Hiro this week… which I want to share with you because a lot of creative people have this problem!

EVERY TIME I run the Creative Dream Incubator there is a lot of resistance to the idea of choosing ONE DREAM to work with.? So I’ve been exploring ways of working with more-than-one-dream and in all honesty – I think these explorations have only brought me off track.

Being open to all possibilities only makes it harder for you to bring any dream to life.

Being open to all possibilities is super important in the visioning process, so that you aren’t closed to finding the right possibility. But once you’ve found your thing – you’ve got to be closed to the others and focus on the one.

Daring dared me to commit.

To put down the contingency plans because they’re taking up precious energy.

To re-route ALL of my energy into The One Dream I am bringing to life right now.

There is a sea of infinite possibilities.

I used to?(used to, as in, last week) live on that beach because I was so in love with possibility.? And so ideas would wash up in the shore, right into my home, all the time. Beautiful sparkly ideas that would easily distract me and confuse me and leave me wishing I could be walking a million paths at once which is maybe why I have been to tired lately…

Also: that love affair was doomed from the start.? Hindsight is 20/20 but really, how could I not have seen it before? ?Possibilities aren’t real life things.

So I moved.

I live in the forest now. It’s cool. It smells like pine. It’s quiet and soft and mossy.? It’s real.

I’m still unpacking and settling in but already I can see: I can focus here. I can create.

And when I need an idea – I can go to the beach on the Sea of Possibilities. I can bring my Creative Genius and my Inner Knowing to sift through the ideas to find Just The Right One (which I believe is going to sparkle more than the others and will be easy to spot.)

And all of those other ideas? I can smile at the thought of them hanging out on the beach together.? Just because there are infinite possibilities doesn’t mean I need more than one at any given time.

BIG relief.

A visit from the “I Don’t Have Enough Time” monster

99% of the time, I don’t have enough time is a lie.

You have enough time, and you chose how you’re using it.? It only feels like it’s not a choice because you’re caught up in an un-helpful pattern, or you’ve got a sovereignty leak or you’re letting your inner critics run the show.

So, here I am this morning, convinced I don’t have enough time for all the things I have to do today.

Except I do.? They fit neatly onto my calendar.? So I mediate and journal and use aromatherapy and still this small voice of anxiety won’t go away.?? I re-read my post about You Are The Source Of Time which helped, but then my little inner I Don’t Have Time Monster got woken up…

So, let’s talk.

You DON’T have enough time!? Not for all these things!

Oh sweetie.

And you certainly don’t have time to talk to me about it!

Oh, so what should I be doing?

Running around like crazy, panicking about not having enough time.

That doesn’t seem useful.

But it would be honest!

Honesty is important.? See, I am being honest by talking to you about how you’re feeling, rather that just pushing through and getting the work done.

Oh, right.

I think you want me to to panic until I can’t get the work done, and then not get the work done, and then use this as evidence that I can’t handle this much work.

Well you can’t!

I know I can.? I love everything I’m doing.? The Creative Soul Alchemy Cards?? HOLY CRAP I LOVE THIS. I’m having the best time ever.
Creating a deck of custom made Creative Soul Alchemy Cards for a client. Having so much fun!

But they’re taking you longer than you thought, to make them.

Yes, that’s a part of the Batter Tasting Process – learning all of that stuff!? Then I’ll take what I learn and use it to put the final thing together.

But you’re also doing Project 1 and Project 2 and Project 3!? All big projects!? Plus your regular stuff!? Aaeeeeeiiiiiiii!? There is not enough of you to go around!

Honey, I remain full and whole.? And I choose what I want to play with, and when I want to play with it.

Oh, wait, what?

I think you think I have to give parts of my energy to each thing.? But I hold all of my energy.

And the little monster disappeared and in its place is yesterday’s Creative Genius Planning Session with all sorts of amazing energy work that actually holds the container for all of the things to happen this week with great joy and ease and spaciousness.

And the monster says: I’m sorry, I forgot about the Creative Genius Planning Session.? I can see it all here in the magics.? You’re doing fine, nothing to panic about.

Ahhhh. Calm returns.? And I’m ready to enjoy my many activities today…

What Happens When You Let Courage In?

I’ve been having regular meetings with courage, in preparation for the?Playdate with Courage on May 3.

While I’m not expecting myself to feel courageous by May 3, I do need to be able to weave a field of healing and transformation for the group and hold that space as I invite Courage in. ?So I keep meeting with Courage to build my relationship and connection with it.

Courage keeps showing up as a little boy.

Sometimes he’s playing baseball, wearing a helmet. ?Sometimes he’s wearing a superhero cape.

Today he’s wearing his cape, sitting down cross legged, arms crossed across his chest, a scowl on his face, aimed at me.

So I sat down, we’re sitting on concrete outside a school. ?Oh, this is where I went to elementary school. ?He’s showing me the story of when I stopped playing with him.

He’s showing me the stories of what could have happened, going into junior high and high school, had we stayed friends.

Which, of course, makes me think of what could be happening right now, if we were to rekindle our friendship.

I take a deep breath.

I want to say I’m sorry about that story of when I stopped playing with him but he knows. ?And actually he is sorrier than I am about it. ?That scowl isn’t so much a scowl, he’s sad.

He understands that I got scared and he wishes he could have found a way to stick by me anyway.

Then he says that later on, he did figure out how to stick by me anyway. ?Showing me the trajectory of my life I can see where he came back to me.

But he’s done all he can while hiding in the shadows like this. ?It’s time for me to do my part and claim Courage.

Deep breath.

I don’t know what to do.

He shows me that of course I do know what to do. ?What would you tell yourself right now if you were your own client, he asks.

I’d bring this whole story into present time. ?I can’t claim seven year old courage, I need to claim thirty eight year old courage.

I bring us into the DreamLoft but no, that’s too uncomfortable.

We meet at Starbucks instead. ?I see myself sitting there, ready to meet Courage and now he’s an elephant, sitting the chair across from me.

I reach out and take his hands (hands? hoofs?). ?He transforms into me. ?A brighter stronger me, who floats through the table and merges with me.

I am Courageous.

I can feel that energy shift and can tell that there is Courage in me now. ?Of course, there always was, we all have Courage in us. ?But now I’m aware of it and making space for it.

I have a lot of energy work to do to acclimate to Courage and to create spaces in me, and my life, where it can live comfortably – so it has what it needs to do what it needs to do.

I have huge internal resistance to Courage. ?I can feel that part of me wanting to slow down this process, letting me know that I have more important things to do. ?And that Courage is boring, can’t we work on something more fun?

What does Courage do, inside of me?

It heads to the Department of Internal Steadiness and pours a solid concrete foundation for the whole department.

That feels very good. ?Even the parts of me who resist courage are pretty happy to have that new solid foundation for the Department, so they’re starting to appreciate that Courage may be helpful to have around.


ps: The May Courage Event is for Creative Dream Circle members, which you are welcome to join right?here. ?I?d love to have your courageous (or not-so courageous) self be a part of it!

Courageous. I don’t feel it.

On May 3rd we’re doing something special in the Creative Dream Circle… we’re going to invite the Goddess of Courage to join us in the Circle of Miracles (AKA Tele-Playdate), and see what kind of treasures she brings us.

Even though I’m the one who planned this event, I am afraid of this.

I’m noticing that I often do things that I would define as courageous, but still I don’t feel courageous.

I imagine that a person who is courageous does brave things and never feels afraid.

Which is ridiculous! ?I know that the only people who are never afraid are the people who never do courageous things.

And yet – it’s how I feel.

I don’t feel courageous.

And I want to feel courageous.

Well, part of me wants to feel courageous. ?Most of me is scared!

Given the fact that I have done all sorts of courageous things even though I don’t feel courageous – what kinds of crazy risks would I take if I did feel courageous?

That is the fear.

It’s pretty ridiculous, I mean embracing courage and building a healthy relationship with her would probably only help with the work I’ve been doing in developing my Department of Internal Steadiness.

So I am really looking forward to inviting the Goddess of Courage into our Circle of Miracles.

It feels like she can help me.

I imagine, with the Goddess of Courage on my side, that I could:

  • deal with my inner critics even more effectively and quickly than I do now
  • feel more confident in deciding to do things that I know are right, even though they scare me
  • more forward faster with new ideas + plans

Which will help me:

  • be happier and more creative
  • have more energy because it’s not all tied up in making those decisions
  • make more money, faster

Wow, seeing it broken down and written out like this has already shifted something inside.

My fear about befriending courage is a grumpy little old man peeking out from under his hat and looking at this and is almost-actually-interested-but-totally-not-willing-to-admit-it. ?He is saying “Hmmmmm courage may be helpful after all…” ?

I’m going to leave this right there, if I try to push him, he’ll fight back. ?If I give him some space, I think he’s going to come around…


ps: The May Courage Event is for Creative Dream Circle members, which you are welcome to join right here. ?I’d love to have your courageous (or not-so courageous) self be a part of it!

[note to self] The bigger your dreams are, the more steady your foundation needs to be.

I have declared April, May + June 2013 to be a Creative Cocoon.? I am working on a new project and wanted to create this cocoon that is filled with all of the qualities it needs to grow into all that it cam be: spaciousness, trust, wonder, magic, creativity and structure.

What is really cool + different about how I am approaching this project is that I am creating it IN in the Creative Dream Circle.? So my fellow creative dreamers get to watch how I bring it to life – they get to see the magic unfold.

And, of course, they get to see my every stumble along the way.

What I really want to share with them is that you don’t just have an idea and then *pouf* make it real and it’s done.? You enter into the creative process with your vision, but the creative process itself changes your vision and it even changes you.

It’s basically walking through fire with your dream.

Dreams only stay perfect when you leave them on the shelf.

The path, the creative process, changes everything.? And it is so disorienting!? Some days I don’t even know what I’m doing or why I’m doing it.

This is hard/scary enough to do in the comfort and safety of my Dream Loft, but holycrapterrifying to do it with my fellow creative dreamers watching.

So I keep coming back to steadiness.

How I need to focus less on whatever is happening in my creative process and focus more on developing and maintaining internal steadiness.

This morning I am scared, scattered and confused.

I can’t connect to the deeper purpose of why I am doing this and so I can’t tell what direction to go in.? My internal compass is spinning around wildly.

My inner critics, fears, doubts, unhelpful patterns and limiting beliefs are trying to throw me off path.? To get me back safety into the center of my comfort zone.

My inner wisdom, spirit, purpose and infinite creative potential are holding onto the vision for me.? To call me forward along the next steps of my path.

So I am doing the work of creating internal steadiness.

Meditation. Energy work. Extreme Self-Care. Journaling. Creative Journaling. All the stuff in the Creative Dream Incubator – to access the courage I need to be able to see my next steps clearly.

Creative Journal
In my Creative Journal

You don’t always need to figure out what to do about the obstacles.

If you focus instead on developing internal steadiness sometimes you can hit them, and bounce over them without falling over.

I guess that is my assignment for today.

I started writing this because I couldn’t work on the thing I was supposed to be working on this morning.? So I am changing course and going to work on steadiness.

I’m going to create a Department of Internal Steadiness for this new project.

Oh!? That’s it – I’ve found my zing, my internal compass has stopped spinning and is now set on “GO!”

Yay!

PS: Yes my internal compass is a real thing.? And I taught a class on how to access your internal compass, you get it with the Creative Dream Incubator Kit.

Hello week: TKO

I just woke up from a delicious dream… there was a cartoon marching band, making playful music (it’s still floating around in my head) and bopping around.? Each band member was a different kind of being, all shapes and sizes and types of instruments.? It felt like they were each playing their own song, but they came together beautifully.

It was sooooooo happy!

It feels like how I feel about the Creative Dream Circle – everyone’s playing their own song and then when those songs come together it’s beautiful music – all in tune with each other because we’re all playing from the same energy and intention: we’re here to make our dreams real.

We trust (more some days than other, but still) in the importance, beauty and magic of our purpose and are willing to do to the work of bringing it to life.? I am so grateful to be a member of this community and honoured to be the leader of it.

It’s Monday morning and I’m sitting here with three different journals open, looking over Friday’s Creative Genius Explore, Play + Plan Session.

creative journal

Inviting in the qualities that I want in my week.

Looking over my schedule to see if it still fits my energy.

Looking at my plans to see if they still feel delicious.

Feeling my way into how I want to create this week.

This week I am opening up to a new layer of who-I-really-am.

We’re doing the Playdate with Authenticity on Wednesday. (You’re invited, of course)

Playdates always knock me out with the intensity of re-connecting with parts of my soul I’ve disconnected from.

This time, I’m giving myself lots of time to ease into the playdate, and then lots of post-playdate integration time.

So, I am basically playdating my whole week.

Wheeeeeeeeee!

Reminder:

For part of a new project I am working on, I am gathering all of the things that support genius and success and keeping them close to me, structured in such a way that I can always find the thing I need most, right when I need it.

I added this reminder on Friday:

The entire universe is working in my favour. I don't have to do it all myself.

Which is a great big deep sigh of relief every time I remember.

My notes on authenticity

Authenticity is the place you access you superpowers.

When you’re not being true to yourself you cut yourself off from accessing your superpowers.

Authenticity holds your dreams.

No matter how far away they start to seem, or how lost you get, they’re always safely held, right there.

… ditto for your magic, infinite creative potential, joy and light.

Authenticity makes things so simple.

When you’re being true to yourself it’s easy to know what to yes to and what to say no to.

But authenticity is not a destination.

You’re not either there or not there, it’s about the degree of connection in the moment.

Authenticity can be buried by many layers of patterns, masks and the roles we play.? But it can’t be diminished or harmed in any way.

Even when you are far away from it, it is very close and accessible to you.

Today, as I explore in my creative journal, my authentic self feels like deep bright coloured leaves and freshness and openess and grounding and a shimmering golden light holding it all.

True Self Creative Journaling
True Self Creative Journaling

 

This morning I asked my True Self about my business and how she would run it differently.? Instead she drew me a map of how she sees my business which gave me a totally new perspective of, and love for, how I am doing things now.

She also explained that changes that I am thinking of making in terms of her map and showed how the changes are not “changes” as much as “natural evolution” and how, even with those things changed, the flow stays the same and I can relax into and trust that flow.

Advice from your True Self feels different than any other kind of advice.

There is something nourishing and colourful in it.? And it feels, well, true, right deep down in your soul. There is a steadiness and a grounding in receiving that kind of advice that is just not present when you seek advice from other sources.

Because there are so many layers to everything, most of the [internal and external] advice we receive is not good advice.

It’s easy to believe you are listening to your heart but really that’s a familiar old pattern speaking to you and the familiarity feels like comfort which feels like truth, but it’s not.? It’s aim is to hold you in that pattern often while making it look like it is helping you move towards what you really want.

That’s why it seems so difficult to create a life that is filled with all the things you really want.

I am so grateful that I took some time to draw myself into alignment to be able to receive that advice this morning.

Because it’s so different from what seems like the “logical right thing to do” and it’s not something I could have come to any way but through deep connection to my true self.

I think the thing that surprises me most about true self is how little we are connected to it, most of the time.? And then how much everything changes with a little mindful connection.

I’m exploring Authenticity today because it’s our theme for the April PLAYDATE.

How authenticity can help us bring our dreams to life with more ease (and fun!).

You are invited.

Playdate with your True SelfI do a monthly playdate in the Creative Dream Circle.? And for April you can join even if you’re not in the Circle!

Words cannot convey how amazing these Playdates are. I?ve actually been sitting here trying to find the right words to describe the magic of the Playdate to you, and I can?t.

I can tell you that I have been running them monthly in my Creative Dream Circle since September and very month they deliver:

  • magic
  • miracles
  • life-changing shifts in perspective

Ready? Let’s play.

What is a Creative Dream, and how many can I have?

A Creative Dream is anything you want to create in your world.

It can be big like creating a thriving business.

It can be small like creating time every week to do something fun.

It can be an internal thing like learning how to be calmer and happier.

Or an external thing like learning how to speak French or fly a plane.

Also: figuring out what your dreams are is a perfectly legitimate dream.? People seem to think they can’t start making their dream real until they know what it is.? That’s not true.

Some dreams contain other dreams within them.

My business, for example.? The business itself is a dream.? Since it is my source of income, my dreams for material goods and a comfortable, supportive lifestyle are a part of it.? Also my dreams for traveling and having a flexible work schedule and making exquisite self-care a part of each day.? Each product I create begins as a dream of a thing I want to create.? Etc, etc, etc.

My biggest dream, of living my purpose, is the whole reason for my business.

It’s like the neverending matryoshka dolls of dreams.

Some days the dream I want to focus on is simply being who I am and radiating that out into the world.

Some days it’s much more concrete.

There isn’t a wrong way to do this.

If you have never made a dream real then I do suggest picking one, just one, to start with.? Pop it into the Incubator and make it REAL.

People tend to not be able to choose just one which only serves to put all their dreams on the shelf.?? It does not matter which one you choose, it only matters that you choose one or else you could spend the rest of your life trying to decide and and up with nothing.

Once you have learned how to make one dream real then you learn how to work on multiple dreams at a time.

At this point, I am juggling so many dreams I can’t even tell you how many there are of them.

And that is why I am writing this.

To remind myself that every dream is legitimate and important and beautiful.? And every dream needs space and it’s own unique nurturing practices.? Juggling them disrespects all of this.

What I am working on right now in my business is creating a new tool to help you (and me!) manage living with multiple dreams while growing other dreams.? “Manage” with play, creativity, spirit and fun.

So I am exploring, with a magnifying glass, the ways that I do live with multiple dreams while bringing others to life, looking for ways that I can do this that are more supportive, fun, creative and effective.

Today I am exploring each and every dream, opening up each nested doll to find the treasures inside.? Filling journals up with my dreams and all the things that each dream needs to grow and thrive.

ps: If you’re feeling stuck with your dreams: please get in touch! I have perfected the art of the QUICK UN-STICK. In a fifteen minute phone call I can get you happily grooving along the path to your dreams.

My Vision

This is how it feels:

A glowing pink heart with golden wings.

In a circle of wide, open sky.

Held by a ring of love.

With light rays shooting out beyond it.

So magic and amazing it glows.

This is my vision for my Creative Dream Circle and this is how it feels for me to hold the vision.

My vision: 200 Dreamers in the Circle.

200 dreamers who have all the tools they need for SUCCESSFUL Creative Dream Incubation.

200 dreamers who have all the SUPPORT they need for successful Creative Dream Incubation.

200 dreamers staying engaged in the process of activating their MAGIC.

200 dreamers DELIGHTING in the POWER of their creativity, spirit and purpose.

200 dreamers making a HUGE difference in the world as they are held in the magic in the circle.

I breathe this energy in and let it light the way.

In reading this post and meditating on the essence of my dream every morning I trust the path to unfold in front of me.

I trust the love I have for this vision to light the way for these 200 dreamers to find me.

I trust the passion I have for this vision to fuel the process of bringing it to life in perfect timing.

ps: If you are one of the 200 I’m looking for (yay!) you can join right here.

DELIGHT:

1. Which is delight: how delighting in your dreams helps give you the energy and enthusiasm you need to make them happen. Delight can fuel you up and fill you up, so you become BIGGER than the obstacles in your way.

2. And it?s also deLIGHT: how your dream is how you shine your light out into the world and exploring what kinds of things can help you do that more effectively.

Your dream is your dream for a reason.?

That reason is so jam-packed with delight it it can power the lights that light up the path that leads to your dream come true.? Shining your light out into the world is what you came here to do, it’s a basic part of everyone’s programming.

It’s also COMPLETELY TERRIFYING.

And the ways we react to that terror are fascinating.? We block the light, we turn away from the light, we pretend we don’t have as much light as we do – all while desperately searching for ways to shine our light more brightly.

Creativity = shining your unique light into the world.

It we were just blocking/avoiding/ignoring our light (like most of the world is doing right now) we would go numb and settle into lives that don’t quite fit and accept that this is the best it gets.

When you’re blocking/avoiding/ignoring (and we’re all doing this on some level) while at the same time trying to bring a creative project to light it’s like two opposing energies colliding.

I want it so bad.

But I’m scared.

But I’m ready.

But I’m not, really. I mean – who am I do to this?

But I am ready! I want this so bad!

But I’m scared.

etc.

Depending how conscious or unconscious this all is, you may actually recognize this conversation or you may just find that you really want to do something but no matter how you try it just doesn’t work out the way you wanted it to.

Either way you both LOVE THE THING YOU WANT TO DO SOOOO MUCH and also GET SO FRUSTRATED AND SCARED SOMETIMES.

It’s really hard to hold intense energies that are moving in the opposite direction from each other.? But this is the path of bringing a big dream to life: Dealing with the fears, freak-outs and stucks while growing your Creative Genius.

This inner work stuff is so hard sometimes.

Cue: PLAYDATES!

On March 3 I am running a Virtual Playdate (AKA How To Fill Your Life With So Much Magic It Actually Sparkles).

The theme will be: deLIGHT

This is where you imagine me grinning like an idiot.? I am still slightly stunned and amazed by my Playdates.? I have been running them monthly in my Creative Dream Circle since September and very month they deliver: magic, miracles and life-changing shifts in perspective.

Playdates are filled with:

Creativity. Play. Gleeeeful Explorations.

Looking inside for direction, guidance and fuel.

Exploring ways to trust those inner messages.

Opening up new layers of what is really true, for you.

Figuring out how to apply all of this to how you live your life.

 

Surprising True Fact: With the right approach, you can actually play your inner work better than you can work on your inner work.

Ready? Let’s play!

Registration: $37 (US)

We shall Playdate On March 3, starting at 11am Central (click here to find out what time this is in your time zone).? It will be 3 hours long and include 4 phone calls, with breaks in between for playdating on your own.

It’s amazing if you can be there live, but people do report having just as much success working with the recordings.? You’ll still love this, even if you can’t be there live.

Registration includes:

  • access to the live calls and recordings of the calls
  • four Playdate workbooks playbooks

You’ll leave the Playdate with:

  • a new understanding of how delight can rev up your superpowers
  • clarity about what your dream needs right now
  • unique + effective ideas for how to make the path to your dream more delight-full and less scary

?What you need:

  • phone line and computer to access the calls, hear the recordings and download the playbooks
  • journal and whatever art supplies feel fun for you
  • three uninterrupted hours (or you can break it up into segments and playdate over a couple of days or weeks)

I hope you’ll join me, I’d love to play with you.

I might offer another playdate in the future but I never do the same one twice.? So if this speaks to you, join me now!
