To achieve or maintain a sustainable, thriving creative practice, you will experience a “crooked path”. Many of us have suffered so many disappointments and difficulties along the way —both small and large— that we are left with what we call a “damaged heart” or “inner child” that needs repair. This damaged part of us can generate experiences that range from simple feelings of burn out to a total collapse of productivity. In extreme cases, various forms of self-sabotage can emerge that impact our overall well-being.
We may have struggled for years to overcome criticisms, or even outright assaults, to our creative identity, efforts, and outcomes. We may yearn for the significant portion of our artistic desire, inner strength, and creative potency that appears to have been lost or never found.
The journey to restore your Creative Potential will mend the “Broken Artist” that dwells inside you. You will renew your hopes and dreams, as well as engage your challenges and shortcomings. It is an inner journey of earnest self-discovery, where you must face fearlessly the heroic tests you find there. Fortunately, there is a holistic process —Holistic Creativity— to follow that will help you heal your Heart, Soul, Mind, and Body and restore you to wholeness. If you undertake this transformational journey with devotion and discipline, you can repair and restore the inner wellspring that fuels your artistic capabilities. Expand your current horizons and reach amazing new possibilities!
This live, highly interactive, small-sized class provides ample opportunity for you to receive personalized attention, while learning to engage the universal principles of healing that impact all creative people.
Michelle Rothwell is an Associate Professor of Art, Media, and Design with over 20 years of college teaching experience and professional creative practices. During her career in academia, she created multiple degree programs for several colleges and universities, designed dozens of courses, and mentored hundreds of students and peers. She is the founder of the Game Art BFA program at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA, USA.
Mrs. Rothwell has more than 30 years of experience in both creative and technology-based fields. She has served in a wide range of professional roles, including Director of Information Architecture, Interaction/Interface/Experience Designer, Virtual Reality Researcher, Product Developer, and Fine Artist. Her client list includes DuPont, Proctor & Gamble, GlaxoSmithKline, Merrill Lynch, AstraZeneca, SAP, Qwest Communications and Unisys.
Michelle designed and developed a dynamic and systemic toolset for creative transformation called, Holistic Creativity. It combines her research and experience in the Arts with 25 years of experience devoted to ancient Spiritual-healing and Mindfulness modalities.
Michelle is a practicing Fine Artist whose work has been shown nationally in solo, juried, and group shows. Her work brings attention to the clash between Nature’s elegant forms, materials, and ecosystems and the relative crudeness of man-made objects, substances, and processes. She explores the relationships that merge the elegant forms and functions of Nature with the Artifacts created by human beings. Michelle’s Virtual Sculptures, Virtual Environments, Collages, and Drawings juxtapose organic and inorganic surfaces in order to engage our innate sensory awareness of our surroundings.
