No More Dilly-Dallying!

Ellie Harold / 2 Comments

 

No more dilly-dallying! And no more hemming, hawing or pussyfooting around! There's a BIG Art Idea waiting for you—what are you waiting for?

 

I know, I know .... You probably have a long list of very reasonable reasons for waiting. Your art couldn't possibly be important enough to make a contribution to the world. You're not good enough yet. You don't have the time. And, besides, you don't know what to do. I know, I've heard all of these (whining) excuses before. Heck! I've used them all before!

 

Your reasons are wrong! I'm here to tell you, that as reasonable as they may be, your reasons are all wrong! The only thing these reasonable reasons are good for is postponing your fulfillment (and, of course, you are free to do this for as long as you want). That said, I know there is an Art Idea that's waiting for you to step up and give it expression. There's an Art Idea waiting for you to discover it that will utilize your unique gifts, talents and situation in life to bring forth a new creation. So, no excuses! No dilly-dallying! Time's a-wastin.' Stop dabbling and get on your purpose now!

 

How? My new format Summer Workshop What's Your BIG Idea? (A Kick in your BUTS) is designed to deal with whatever gets in the way of you discovering and doing the creative work your soul longs for you to do. The next workshop is August 20-23. In those 4 days, you will clarify what really matters at this point in your life and, using art exercises and group energy, intuit a project to manifest the BIG Idea that is seeking expression through you at this time. You are free to work in the medium of your choice—paint, music, writing, etc. No excuses. Just do it!

 

My facilitation is based on years of training and practice in harnessing the forces of creation in service to all kinds of ideas, from pioneering a church to writing books to building a successful art career to producing a music CD. As I've observed in myself and others, learning to deal with resistance is paramount. What's Your BIG Idea? shows you how your particular form of resistance can work for you, not against you. You will learn what you need to do next and do what it takes to assure that you will do it!


So, if your stuck with your art-making or feeling glum about the state of the world, consider investing 4 days exploring What's Your BIG Idea? As your BUTS get kicked out of the way, you'll be free to take a powerful step into making the difference you were created to make!

 

Please note: This is not a painting instruction workshop. With retreat-like elements, you'll explore personal material and you'll be invited to share with the other participants. To get the most from the experience, plan to limit social obligations during the 4 days of the workshop.

 

Enrollment is limited to 10 participants. As soon as you pay the $450 fee, you'll begin receiving material to work with immediately.  Use the PayPal menu below to register NOW!

Here's what one participant in the June, 2019 workshop had to report from her experience:  

 

My inner voices told me to come, so I did. It was indeed a good thing. Your work inspires me. Your words provided information, authentic advice, and affirmation. Your energy is contagious and your punctuality is enviable. Your environment invites spontaneous creativity .... The workshop was timely for me because I have been in a cycle of reflection and thinking-about-doing for some time, while learning to live a new life full of new people and opportunities. The workshop required me to commit to doing. I needed that .... The structure for accountability ... will help me to stay on track.                                                     —LDP
