What people are saying,
"Lauren creates an extremely nurturing atmosphere and I was really impressed with how she created this in the classroom. I appreciated the flow (working up to bigger challenges) of the day and the step by step process that she created. It was a great experience! "
"I usually never do these types of workshops. I always pick the technical or the business orientated one, so it was simply a great to step out of my norm. Hard, but good."

Finding and keeping a clear sense of your own creative voice is one of the most challenging aspects of living a career as a creative artist. This course is not about making the perfect photo, being a wordsmith, or creating gallery ready art. This session is about experiencing the practice of being an artist in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. We will begin with warm-up writing exercises to short circuit the inner critic that tends to filter through snap judgement and prevent examining areas that may feel vulnerable. Students should expect to be challenged to explore new ways of thinking about their creative life, face a few fears and perhaps meet their inner critic for a little heart to heart.
The goal of this workshop is to explore new ways to connect ourselves to our work—whether that be our own personal work or what we do in our every day jobs—and to remain vibrant and inspired to create art that is deeply satisfying, meaningful, and full of heart.
This workshop will create an environment that will allow you to reconnect with what drove you to choose your position in life and your career. What was it that made you take a leap, or settle in? We have all had a motivating factor; something that pushes us every day to make the choices we do. Typically, we make choices to imagine new possibilities, solve problems, and invent new ways of living. Why not make those decisions from a conscious, informed place? At its heart, creativity is about imagining, solving, and inventing. Let us learn to approach every day with a creative perspective.
