"What's a Muse?" you might ask.
Muses, based on ancient mythology are goddesses who bring
inspiration and wisdom to those who call upon them. In these courses,
the Muses are all concepts and tools that help you find your inspiration within.

A bit like soul surfing, but with an amazing book to create as you make your empowering personal discoveries.

 

You will creatively drop your shoulds at the door,
magically find your gypsy power word,
and journey to a place of true passions and purpose
to create a vision book that is imbued with all it needs to
bring your visions and dreams into
your wild and precious life.

But this will be no ordinary book…
You’ll be creating an altered book to hold your dreams
and visions!

From feelings you want, to right relationships, to projects completed and businesses successful, to the gift of insightful and do-able ideas, to spirit connections you may want more of, to finances and material things that you’d just love to have in your possession:
What goes on your vision book is wide open for discovery!

Wednesdays  January 18 to Feb 8    7-9 pm

Less Guilt. More Happy. 

   LessLesLL4 empowering sessions (5, online) - an affordable way to experience coaching: classes that will refresh your spirit, and help you create life in a way that reduces guilt and increases happy!

The pressures on Moms nowadays is...
well, a bit insane:

  • You are supposed to feed your children nutritious meals, grown locally, environmentally sound, organic, and you should never ever pick up fast food. You should also teach your children to make all of this themselves, but you should feel bad if you don't make your children's lunches.
  • Your home should be clean, beautifully decorated, the yard immaculate, and your dog shouldn't bark. Okay, sometimes you know mess is okay, but the in-laws always hint that you aren't really keeping things together very well.
  • Your children should be involved in dance, soccer, creative play, free play, storytime, and have play dates, attend parties, be offered all learning opportunities and toys to develop spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically... and if they act like a brat... well, it's your fault, you did something wrong.
  • When you do sit down and finally read a book, you feel guilty because you should be doing something else.
  • You should be involved with the school and the community.
  • Oh and of course, you should show up to your career refreshed renewed and giving 110%, ditto for your spouse whom we haven't even begun to mention here, and you really ought to host more get togethers with friends and family.

Uh huh. There's a better way. Come meet the Muses in this course designed especially for you:

  • Blissim: the Muse of blissfully imperfect. Giving yourself permission to do things differently.
  • Grudgepot: burners of guilt, grudges, shoulds, and other energy sapping thoughts
  • Blancia: Muse of finding balance.
  • Bea Silly: Muse of PLAY... yes, PLAY!
