Hello, again! Here we are at end of summer. I hope you’ve had a good one! Mine included the very happy occasion of my daughter’s wedding—lots of people, parties and fun! As well as lots of work!
I’ll be posting much more here now about the creative process, how we can all accelerate our creativity and engage with our changing world. Watch this space every Monday to start. Or contact to receive via email. But, first, I’m very excited to announce a brand new workshop for those in the Boston area: Drawing Out Creativity.
In the workshop, we’ll learn to use drawing as a yogic tool to connect with our creative core, understand the nature of our creative process and how to work with the mind. We’ll move through a series of exercises in which we’ll begin to see what inhibits us and how we can overcome the obstacles in our path. The workshop is designed for anyone on a creative path.
If you haven’t drawn for a while, or if you think you can’t, this is also for you! Everyone can draw and everyone is creative. The workshop is totally supportive and affirming. This is a new kind of drawing—non-judgmental and exploratory.
Some of what we’ll do is in my book, The Confident Creative / Drawing to Free the Hand and Mind. We’ll be building on that base and accelerating our learning through working with others who want to really connect with their true creative selves.
The workshop is Saturday, October 22 – Sunday, October 23, 2011 at The Arsenal Center for the Arts, Watertown, MA from 9 am – 4 pm each day. There is plenty of parking and two restaurants on site.
Come join us! The world needs our creativity! Sign up here!

Bonjour Cat! After reading your great book for the second time, I finally look you up on the Internet hoping you are giving workshops somewhere in the world I can reach without too much traveling. It turns out you are quite close,but the weekend you are signing-up I will find myself in another country
. Any other workshops scheduled in the future…for say December? Maybe even in Montréal ?
. Kindest regards, Sophie Gravel.
PS- your book deserves to reach the French language market !
Bonjour, Sophie! Merci pour les mots trés gentils! So sorry you can’t make this workshop but there will be more! Do you know I am from Montréal though I haven’t lived there for a long time now. I’d love to do a workshop there, even a small one with just 12 people would be great! Maybe you know a space and some people and we are good to go! If so, you can let me know. Or maybe you can come to the next Boston workshop, in spring. Meanwhile, the book is published already in French by a publisher in France, Dangles Editions, and is just called Créativité. It may be available on amazon.ca? Merci pour écriver, Sophie!
What a lovely coincidence that you are from Montréal ! I can surely find the place and all other arrangements, but 12 people would be difficult for me alone. Why not plan something and you can post it on your blog ? Surely I am not your only Canadian fan
In any case, hopefully I can make your Spring workshop in Boston. Did you know I lived there as a child ?
. it’s a beautifull part of the world.
I am happy to hear that there is a French version of your book; now I can offer it to more friends !
A bientôt, Sophie
