Learn how to navigate all phases of the creative process without giving up or burning out.
As writers, it’s vital that we nurture our creativity through self-care so we can work with our natural rhythms and not against them. In this class, you will work through exercises that identify limiting beliefs, clarify needs and motivations, and rejuvenate creative energy. This workshop is ideal for writers of all levels struggling with time management, critical self-talk, burnout, creative blocks, perfectionism, and procrastination. We will explore where our creative blocks come from and how to work through them so they don’t stop our progress. Whether you have been writing for years or are just starting or returning to the practice, you will come away with techniques and strategies that support you in building a restorative writing practice that brings your creative callings to life in a sustainable way.
