Last week I posted information about Lisa Sonora Beam’s retreat and a few weeks ago I reviewed her book The Creative Entrepreneur. Lisa is also offering two summer on-line workshops (summer camps):
PowerFULL Magical Visual Journals: a creative process that can change your life (seriously!)
Most creatives suffer from split brains, and often spend their lives wondering what’s wrong with them. But the split brain syndrome is not only found in creatives, the traditionally educated engineers, managers, MBAs etc. also suffer from the same syndrome. The symptoms of Split Brain Syndrome are a limited ability to integrate both the logical and the creative, in other words a lack of whole brain perception.
Designed to provide similar material and guidance as the live version this class will be an online workshop that includes:
- 90 minute self-paced mp3 tutorial
- Full-color course workbook loaded with examples and visual journal prompts
- Access to private workshop discussion forum moderated by Lisa Sonora Beam
In the Power Visual Journaling workshop you will learn:
- The secrets to creating a journal you will actually work in and use regularly
- All about art supplies: the best, cheapest, funnest— and most meaninigful— ways to incorporate imagery into your journal
- Ways of dealing with procrastination, self-criticism, judgments and other emotions that keep us from not working
- How deal with wanting your pages to look “artistic” and still get your rough ideas down. Yes, you can have both!
- All about writing: what to write, when to write, how to write and layer images—learn the techniques that work for you
- How to return to your journal after an absence
- Ways of finding support and comraderie for your creative process that support your ways of working
- What we mean by “Secret”: Surprising and fun ways of getting your ideas out without fear of prying eyes
- How to integrate your practices: What about morning pages, dream journals, gratitude journals and other stuff?
What you’ll get
These are incredibly powerful practices that align your conscious and subconscious mind, and make the most of your left and right brain strengths. We will practice and apply these tools using fun, engaging visual journaling processes that you can adapt and continue to use on your own, long after the workshop.
You will leave with a custom-created visual journal brimming with texture, pattern, color, and verbal and visual cues to kick start your imagination, along with plenty of inspiration and support to keep going long after the workshop.
