The Chrysalis Project
Group Coaching to Catapult Your Creativity
The Chrysalis Project meetings at Jackson Street Studios are an opportunity for you to receive one-on-one coaching–centered on your creativity–in an intimate, 6-8 person creative mastermind group.
Each in-person meeting is 90 minutes-2 hours long, depending on the size of the group (maximum 8). During the meeting, you get individual time and attention PLUS the benefit of hearing what other artists and creators are going through.
At the beginning of the meeting, we’ll first do a simple, short meditation to connect to our creativity and to turn our minds away from the busy-ness of our lives. We’ll then work together as a group to break through creative barriers that hold us back, figure out what we really want to make, and brainstorm ways to get there.
Through coaching, you quickly get right to the heart of your challenges. This in turn gives you clarity to create action steps so you can begin to see results quickly.
How It Works
Focusing on one person at a time, I’ll lead the coaching discussion as other members of the group contribute good questions, thoughts and ideas as well.
When it’s your turn, the role of the rest of the group is to help you figure out what you really want and get clarity about concrete ways to get there.
It’s powerful to work through your creative challenges and goals in a group–you benefit as much listening and responding to other people’s experiences as you do when the group is focused on yours.
That’s because there’s so much that we share as artists and creators trying to express ourselves in the common struggle to make our art and creativity a priority in our lives.
At the end of the session, you’ll go home with self-created action step(s) for the month ahead, based on your larger creative dreams and goals for yourself and what feels do-able in your life right now. This action plan can be large or small depending on how busy you are or where you are in your process.
After one Chrysalis Project session, you’ll be well launched to get your creative self back. And each month we’ll leave the meeting with an action plan and each following month we’ll talk about how the previous month. This structured rhythm will help you follow through on what you really want to do.
And you’ll discover that after a few months, you really start to build momentum and get art back into your life in a way that will excite and delight you!
These sessions are designed to provide you with structured support to help make your creative dreams a priority in your life.
It’s a great way to:
- become accountable to yourself
- learn from other members
- get in touch with your higher self
- and stay on track with goals you care about.
Each week I’ll also send an encouraging reminder email to all Chrysalis Project participants about your action plan to help you stay focused.
The structure for each session remains the same. By making it a ritual in this way, it becomes a powerful tool to delve deeper into your creative dreams and goals, and to hone and clarify what you want and how you can make it happen.
You don’t have to attend The Creative Breakthroughs Technique Workshops to join be a part of The Chrysalis Project, but I think they work wonderfully together and can really catapult your creativity forward.
(In fact, making the collages in Creative Breakthroughs Technique Workshop could be an integral part of your monthly action plan as it’s a guaranteed, structured time set aside for you to make a work of art, without having to have ideas, make space or clean up!)
