Who will love this?
I want to make sure this course is 100% right for you! Take a look, do you see yourself described below?
-
You are absolutely interested in understanding yourself more deeply and want to build your self awareness in life, and in your art
-
You are a creative and find yourself stuck along the same spots in your process ( ahem and in life)
-
You get the feeling there is more depth to your expression but you have no idea how to access it
-
You can be critical of yourself and your process. This takes the joy out of your expression, and slows your development
-
You're a late-comer to creativity or are self taught and get a sense that there are some aspects of creativity that you have missing
-
You want a nourishing and interesting experience, that isn't about hustle and productivity
The Life Cycle of a Creative Spark
A 5 week journey rich in universal principles found in creativity, psychotherapy and nature to free your creative spark.
This is a journey into the terrain of your soul, your creative spark.
Your spark embarks on a journey multiple times a day. Sometimes it completes the journey, other times it gets stuck at different points in your inner world. Sometimes, it gets stuck in the same place, every day, for years.
When our inner spark or impulse gets stuck, we get stuck.
We get frustrated, depressed, angry, numb, feel lost, unable to find a way out, or in. Sometimes we even abandon our craft all together; and give up on believing life could be different.
This journey is about remembering our own innate wisdom, natural intelligence and capacity for creating a life full of wonder.
The Cycle of Creativity
There is a cycle to creativity (and also in life) and how we move through this cycle can reveal where we get stuck or blocked in being our self. Do you see yourself in any of these pickles?
When you finally make time; do you struggle to know what you want to {insert your preferred creative expression}?
Perhaps you concern yourself with other peoples judgment; will they think I'm selfish, or silly, or even arrogant for doing what I love?
You have ideas and beliefs about rest and 'non-productivity' that keep you moving and making, but to your detriment.
Your creativity is repetitive and predictable, and you feel bored with your craft.
Or you just don't even know where to start, or how to start?
You want to feel that magic and mystery in your life and art, that you know is there; but it feels out of reach (for now).
You crave that feeling of freedom; like you want to peel off lifes shackles or old skin, and open your wings and run down the street with joy.
No matter how much positive feedback you receive, your confidence as a creative still struggles.
You are in the right place. All that you learn about your creative spark and its life-cycle, will support you in understanding where and how you get stuck at these points; insights that will support you for the rest of your creative journey.
Who is Natalia?
Natalia Fidyka is an Australian based Artist and Psychologist living on Whadjuk Noongar land. First generation Aussie, born to Polish parents she has been creative since the beginning.
A well-seasoned therapist, retreat and workshop facilitator, Natalia is turning her attention to releasing all her experience & knowledge into a juicy catalogue of inspiring resources.
Her current obsession is the commonality found in creativity, therapy and nature; the core premise of this very course!
Ever evolving, Natalia is known for her warm encouraging nature that dances between hilarity and depth. She fuses the transformational power of her two loves, therapy and art, seamlessly.
Her greatest wish (for the moment) is that people open the door to their creative spark, and enjoy what it is to be a wonderfully creative human. A gift waiting to be discovered in everyone.
..a world of curiosity..
"Natalia is a talented, accomplished and humble artist who oozes creativity and has tonnes of skills to impart ~ but never imposes.
She has a special capacity for creating safe, nurturing and fun spaces that invite the participant into a world of curiosity and exploration of their own creative expression."
..nourished me in so many way..
"Art Camp with Natalia filled me up and nourished me in so many ways, and the essence is still with me. Natalia is a delightful, bubbly 'angel in disguise'. "
What this course isn't..
This course is about creativity, in particular your creative process. It isn't an art skills course.
If you are looking to be taught the mechanics of how to draw or paint this course isn't for you.
It is deeply personal and will invite you to be reflective of your life and your being.
Although Natalia is a visual artist this course will make sense to all 'creative' folks, whether you are a musician, textile artist, sculptor or even a beginning water colourist. It is about the creative thread that weaves itself through all creation.
So excited to share this journey with you.
