What you will learn

• We can take influence from what’s around us that impacts our life and business.
• To learn that a lot of creative work is clearing space, creating a space in which things can come forth rather than you trying to push something into being you’re actually making the space so that things can appear.
• We all have a creative self within us, and when time & space meet it to flourish.
