Between each meeting, participants will be asked to:

• Read approximately 10-20 pages of topic-related resources between each session, along with viewing assigned videos (usually about 15-20 minutes in length).

• Commit to a daily(ish) journaling practice.

• Respond to short prompts on google classroom between sessions.

• Work on/tend to a monthly creative assignment (this ranges from simple creative practice adoptions, to monitoring self-coaching techniques, to ongoing curriculum development).

Yes! While we will be providing useful exercises, activities, and resources that could be woven into any creative facilitation, participants will be working toward developing their own unique course/workshop/retreat idea.

So long as there is a seed of an idea or concept, we welcome you to take part in the training.
