Please note that I am offering something new in terms of times. Two of the sessions will meet in the afternoon and two in the evening. We will see how this works!

Thursday Afternoon, April 2: 1 pm Eastern Time: The Gypsy Dances, includes an e-book, Calling Forth Your Gypsy

You cannot be truly creative until the gypsy in you dances.
~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Creativity is active and passionate. Creativity is about doing and feeling. The rich fertile ground where creativity is born and nurtured lies in the heart and the fire in the belly. Creativity rises from the unknown, the unseen, the forgotten. Creativity laughs and cries, it dances and sings, it creates and destroys.

This TeleSeminar will explore how the visceral quality of creativity supports our writing and all endeavors.

Thursday Evening, May 7: 7 pm Eastern Time: Failure as a Positive Component of Creativity, includes an e-book, Failure, Discipline and the Magic Five
Successful creators do not see failure as failure. Thomas Edison said, after an experiment failed for the ninety-ninth time, that he now knew at least ninety-nine ways it wouldn't work. Babe Ruth struck out 1,330 times but he hit 714 home runs. You fell, often, when you first tried to walk.

This TeleSeminar will explore the powerful and freeing aspect of "failure" and why, as creative people, we cannot do without it.

Thursday Afternoon, June 4: 1 pm eastern time. "'You are so weird!" he said.
              "Thank you very much!" she said.

Creative people are different from the main stream. This difference is something to be relished. It gives us deep inner vision and a sensitivity to life and human condition.

In this TeleSeminar we will explore why the most creative aspects of our personality are most threatening to our Inner Critics as well as the language of creativity and the importance of being part of a creative community.

Thursday Evening, July 2: 7 pm. Talent: What Does It Mean? Why It's Important? Should We Really Care?

Talent is usually defined and evaluated by the outer world "experts." And although some people have more innate talent than others, many who are "successful" in the other world don't seem particularly endowed in the talent department.

What does this mean for us? And how should we evaluate our own "talent"? How much emphasis should we put on talent? And, perhaps most importantly, can we develop our talent or is talent the gift of the gods?
