In this episode, we had the pleasure of sitting down with the talented artist, Carol MacConnell, to delve into her life as a full-time professional artist. One of the highlights of our conversation was Carol's passionate expertise in notans, a fascinating artistic technique rooted in Japanese art. She shared how mastering notans is crucial for artists seeking to create impactful and visually striking compositions by understanding the interplay between light and dark.

We also explored Carol's chapter in the Creative Lifebook, aptly titled "Seeing Like an Artist." In this chapter, she eloquently emphasized the significance of training oneself to perceive the world through an artist's eyes. Such a unique perspective allows artists to capture the essence of their subjects and convey deep emotions through their creations.

Deanna is an intuitive abstract artist who has a profound appreciation for vibrant and uplifting colors. For her, creativity means having the freedom to take risks.

In this episode, Neha Gupta introduces us to the art form known as mandala, which has deep roots in the meditative and spiritual practices of Buddhism.

Mandala art involves creating intricate designs as a form of prayer and devotion to deities. The repetitive nature of creating mandalas has a calming effect on the mind, similar to the sensation of holding an ice cube. Initially, it may feel uncomfortable, but with time, it brings a sense of peace and tranquility. The episode explores the spiritual and meditative aspects of mandala art, as well as the scientific reasons behind its therapeutic benefits.

Join us on this remarkable journey of creativity and inspiration from India.

This week, we sit back while we chill out in Dawn's backyard and talk about the upcoming FEMpowered You Retreat plan and vision.

What is this retreat? It’s a way for women to get out of their minds, and into their bodies, hearts, and souls. A way to tune in to that voice within that maybe the outer voices have drowned out. It’s to help them get back in touch with their intuition - something most women have been called crazy - or worse - for when they followed it or talked about it with others. It’s going to give them techniques and tools to help them tune into their intuition, and even more importantly to listen and follow it, even when it doesn’t make sense. We do this through art and embodiment exercises during our time together. We teach you grounding techniques, help you clear your top 5 negative emotions so you can start with a clean slate, and show you ways to build your confidence in your own thoughts and feelings so you feel more comfortable listening to your own wise inner self. We show you how to start loving yourself more and maybe even more importantly, WHAT this even means. We give you both the practical and the more intangible, heart-led guidance to find the ways that work best for you.

We have packed so much value into this retreat, that we know the discount price we are offering is well below the value and support you will receive.

Some of the things this retreat will offer:

• 4 full retreat days:

• 3 days full of workshops (2 per day) incorporating art, NLP, embodiment, breathwork, and other healing modalities

• Day 4 - Integration day with 3:1 individual coaching

• A beautiful AirBnB for all retreat participants, complete with a swimming pool

• All breakfast, lunch, and snacks

• Dinner cruise

• Sound bath on the beach

• Morning and evening circle activities

• Fellowship and communion with like-minded women
