"When I grow up ..." Workshop

 The workbooks called themselves "When I grow up I want to be a Novel"  and it's true, they do.  In the meantime,though, I, as their writer, think they might be even more powerful as they are.. independant workbooks that cause the right brain to kick in and share soulful, empowering and creative answers - helping you to discover your unique, authentic  and magical ways of moving forward.

This in person workshop hosted in Janet's studio. Each week you will receive a downloadable workbook and a two hour creative gathering  designed to help you create the life that one day can read like an inspiring novel.   We'll slip past logical thought, (even finding ways for your left brain to be agreeable to this)... and  through very creative and fun techniques, your creative soulful right mind will finally get to share it's secrets.

What makes this extra special?  You know you'll show up. You know you'll do the activities.  You'll be committed and accountable by choice... and even the laundry won't be able to tear you away.

Tuesdays  February 2 to March 16 (no class Feb 15)   7pm to 9 pm   $140  Next one begins.. soon-ish. Interested? Let us know.  janet@musingsandmud.com

The Ferris Wheel of Life - Finding Balance

Finding balance in life' has become a cliché often dismissed.. because, really, how are you supposed to do that with all the other responsibilities?  Yet, still, the concept weighs heavy. In this course, you will discover a balance unique to you, your passions and your lifestyle.

Small group coaching is an affordable way to access professional life coaching.  Participants will meet weekly and have the benefits of  life coaching including becoming clear, being heard, taking actions toward your goals, and being accountable by choice. 

The "Ferris Wheel of Life" will be our starting point and you will experience a variety of unique activities - including the fun, playful and creative activities-  that help you access your most empowering ways to move forward. 

Participants will have a 1/2 hour individual session with the coach (by phone)  prior to the session starting, and will have the opportunity to communicate with the coach between sessions if required.   A bonus of small group coaching is that you also receive the support and encouragement of kindred spirits on the same path of seeking balance.

Participants will agree that 'what goes on at the Ferris Wheel, stays at the Ferris Wheel'.. to ensure that you are comfortable to share in a safe and supportive environment.
Please feel free to contact Janet if you are wondering if this course is right for you.

Wednesdays  4 - 5:30 pm   8 sessions   Feb 3  - March 31(no session February 16)   $280  All filled up!.. please email if you are interested in future group coaching options.  janet@mudsingsandmud.com

Return of the Muses

Return of the Muses

Muses, this delightful course is designed specifically for those of you who completed the Creative Muse Course.  This eclectic mix of creative activities, soulful discussions, and Modern Day Muse Flash Cards.. YES! I did say..MUSE FLASH CARDS!  Each of you will receive this newly published set of cards by Jill Badonsky.. and in addition, you will have access to Jill's  "Muse Card Secret Society."  I'm pretty excited about this.  So much so that I wrote an incomplete sentence above.   Back to that: This eclectic mix of activities, discussions, cards, (and I suspect we'll even do a little creative crafting)... will have you once again moving full steam ahead acknowledging the amazing being that is you.

Like the muse groups, you already know you will be supported and encouraged by kindred spirits. And,  in a big way "Return of the Muses" is about continuing the amazing connections you discovered in the Creative Muse course.

Course Full .. watch for new course in the spring!

"Get it done, Get it out there" - Coaching Group for Writers and Wanna-be's

Watch for the next session coming in March 2010

Writers, and wanna- be writers, this small group coaching course is designed to get your book started, or finished, or published or all of the above. Whatever stage you are at in writing your book, this is your opportunity to move forward exponentially. Small group coaching is about finding the way that makes you so empowered that nothing can stop you now!  
 
What this is NOT: These are not critiquing sessions. You only share what you are writing if and when you feel so inclined. This is not about teaching you how to write, edit and publish, although a wealth of resources on these topics will be shared.
 
What this IS: This course is an affordable coaching process that begins with an individual coaching session and continues with 6 bi-weekly small group sessions. It's about being coached to complete your project that is dear to you, in a way that works best for you. It is about acknowledging and getting past blocks and barriers, (you know the ones.. perfectionism, procrastination, fear of failure, etc.) that play havoc with your goals. It's about being empowered, motivated, and having the support of a coach and your kindred cohorts (aka other group participants.)  And let's not forget the motivating power of accountability that the bi-weekly sessions offer.
 
"Done."   Doesn't that sound good?   And by the end of the year!
