Your creativity is your aliveness, your life force, & the way your soul expresses itself in the world. And, it often (at some point in our lives) becomes blocked or buried inside. You may shrug at the idea of even calling yourself creative. "No, not me!" But a part of you knows. It remembers that creative, imaginative, playful, curious spirit within. Or maybe you have little to no resistance in claiming your creative spirit, it just hasn't been receiving the attention and nourishment it needs. Regardless of where you find yourself in relation to that spark of life, if you can hear it calling, even whispering, this is for you.

We know the beliefs, fears, emotions, and life circumstances that can take you away from your connection to your soul + creative expression. This is an opportunity to connect, explore & bring some life back into your own internal river. Through somatic inquiry, breathwork, poetry, movement, and other forms of what we call art (we believe everything is art ;)), you'll be able to reawaken & nourish your creative spirit.

Being together, learning together, and growing together has so much power to create magic in our lives and in our world.

• An opening talk from Tara & Lauren unpacking your identity as a creative and the power & necessity of self-expression. They'll explore ways your creativity is expressed in both intimate & immense ways. You'll learn how to identify and honor the season that you're in, taking in the gifts being offered right where you are. You'll also receive practices and inspiration to take with you on ways to nourish your creativity and vitality in tangible ways in your day to day life.

• Meditation to ground into the present moment & feel supported within.

• Gentle somatic inquiry & prompts to reconnect to your body & the inner child within, reawakening your playfulness and imagination.

• Breathwork to connect to your creative energy, clear out blockages, and unlock the natural creative flow within you. This, along with the somatic inquiry, will leave you with a felt sense of the creative life in your being, not just in your mind.

• Time spent practicing creative expression together. This is time to experiment, play, & deepen more into trusting what wants to come through you, without labels of good enough or bad or better. Or anything we're used to hearing when it comes to things we do. We will be guiding you through poetry, a little bit of movement, and some painting/drawing (you'll need a notebook, pen/pencil, and crayons/colored pencils or paint). We'll spend about 40 minutes in this practice.

• Finishing with a closing meditation, in gratitude & celebration.

We are so excited to be offering this workshop. We've had a blast creating it together and would love for you to join us!

This workshop will include:

“We can find true refuge within our own hearts and minds-right here, right now, in the midst of our moment-to-moment lives.”

About the teachers:

Tara Jones is a Certified Transformational Life Coach, Breathwork Facilitator, and Massage Therapist. Her love of the body started at an early age through dance and art, finding the freedom to express herself and an avenue to release her creativity. She especially found movement and self expression essential during her teen years, healing from the hardship and grief after her mother passed away. She has learned that if we are willing to be open to grief, pain and heartbreak these catastrophic events can be life changing in the most positive and transformational way and are the bitter sweet seeds where creativity can flourish. The greatest gift life can teach you is the depth of your own self.

Lauren Faulk is a Certified Holistic Health Coach, Nutritionist, and Breathwork Facilitator. She is also a wildy curious, creative, highly sensitive, contemplative, forever learning and expanding human. She is here to bring the seeds that are within her to life and a big part of that is this work. It comes from her own journey of living against her true nature & trying to fit herself into a way of living that didn't honor life or what it means to truly be human to learning the language & rhythm of a different way. A life-giving, relational way, that honors the wisdom and gifts within all parts of the human journey. She now guides others along a journey of coming home to themselves. She believes that living in alignment with our true nature, transforming the way we see and relate to ourselves, & bringing to life all we hold within is both a gift to ourselves & the world.
