Connecting to the World as an Artist:
Identifying and moving past limitations to success
Presented by PCA and Jessica Thayer of Insight Dynamics
The creative process and the daily diving to create art require a specific kind of concentration and awareness. It is dramatically different than the focus that connects, nurtures and sustains a presence in the world. Many artists find this focus on a public presence challenging.
In this workshop, Jessica explores some of the reasons why artists may undermine their own success. She offers tips for a more aligned way to move between the inner world of creating and the outer world of connection.
Learn more about Jessica’s work at online. Workshop participants may arrange a complimentary half hour consultation with Jessica after the program.
FREE for PCA Members, $5 for non-members.
Registration required.
