IN-Person Collage and Journaling Workshop

Make Peace with Your Inner Critic &
Awaken Your Inner Advocate

with
Debbie & Brian Miller

Do you talk to yourself in ways you’d never talk to others? If so, you aren’t alone!

Sometimes our own “inner critics” hold us back from doing things that might bring us joy – especially when it comes to our creativity.

And many of us have wounds from “outer critics,” as well. Family members, teachers, friends, or even strangers offered “feedback” that left us feeling like we could never be any good at drawing, painting, dancing, writing, playing an instrument, baking, telling jokes, or making a speech.

This workshop is designed to help you make peace with your inner and outer critics, find some healing for your creativity wounds, and learn how to welcome the encouragement that you need to take the next step on your creative journey. 

You will experience:

• Expressive art exercises (Don’t worry! No artistic skill is required – if you can use scissors and a glue stick, you’ll do great!)

• Intuitive journaling

• Small and large group discussions

• Tools and rituals that may help you find freedom from unhelpful comparison and self-doubt

This workshop promises to be a fun and meaningful experience!

We will provide all the supplies you’ll need for your two days of creative exploration.

We’ll also have coffee, tea, water and snacks available.

You will be responsible for bringing your lunch each day (a refrigerator and microwave are available) or plan on ordering from a food delivery service (e.g., Uber Eats).

NO ARTISTIC SKILLS REQUIRED!
(but artists are encouraged to attend)
