The con­test

This will be the final chance to win the Visual Jour­nal­ing on-line work­shop with Lisa Sonora Beam

Win this workshop:

I will select 1 win­ner from those of you who com­ment on this post between Today, July 17, and Tues­day July 21st. The win­ner will be posted on July 22 and will receive a free “ticket” to this amaz­ing on-line work­shop. Visual Jour­nal­ing is a tool for all who feel they need to do some work around inte­grat­ing the left and right sides of their brains.

To Enter:

Just com­ment below and tell us why you think Visual Jour­nal­ing will help you and what you think it can help you with. Are you expe­ri­enc­ing a cre­ative block? Are the two sides of your brain get­ting along or is one more dom­i­nant than the other? What is your biggest bar­rier to engag­ing your left brain or for that mat­ter the right brain? Be imag­i­na­tive, be cre­ative and don’t be afraid.

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

Accord­ing to “Lisa Cre­atives tend to be visual, action-oriented learn­ers. We respond to visual stim­uli. We also need to be engaged in a per­sonal, mean­ing­ful way with the mate­r­ial we are learn­ing. For the past 20 years, I have taught visual jour­nal­ing as a pow­er­ful way to develop problem-solving abil­i­ties and gain insights in ways that lin­ear, non­vi­sual approaches to think­ing and learn­ing don’t access.”

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.
