This won’t take away all the pain, but it will help. The process lasts ~ 2-3 hours. Participants are encouraged to bring an item for creation of an altar- it can be anything that reminds you of the beloved person, a leaf, a flower, a picture. Work on paper, using watercolor pencils and collaging.

Day long process

A powerful method to get clear on what you want to do and the next actions to take. Harness the conscious and subconscious power of your mind to manifest your future.

We spend so much time meeting expectations and limiting ourselves- believing and convincing ourselves we can’t do an activity- based on ‘shoulds’ in our life- what if you allowed yourself the freedom to wonder and plan your best job? You can take and make time for your dreams and taking this class is one of the first steps.

What is your unique, individual gift?
Half-day process on paper
Intentional creativity, created by Artist Shiloh Sophia McCloud, uses proven techniques that allow access to your own genius and essential wisdom.
Honoring your unique talent reinforces inherent pride in one’s work. We will explore some of the less obvious, less codeable talents you may bring- what if one of your gifts is to make others smile, or decreasing tension or seeing the elegant solution? Are you good at relationships, de-cluttering, organizing?
Whether you are aware or not- you are bringing this talent into your job- it may even be the bridge to your new ultimate job.
Within the nature of our jobs, each person must be multi-talented. Your talents and your presence have an impact and also carry your personal stamp whether you are aware of it or not. You have made a large investment in your career; you spend a great deal of your waking life at work. The field of Nursing requires everyone to be nimble and open to change ALL the time.
How can you support yourself? By enhancing your sense of awareness regarding your talent(s) enabling you to surf the change instead of being caught unaware in the currents. Consider uncovering some of your gifts and realizing they are TALENTS and enjoy honoring yourself and your unique contribution to the planet. Work on paper with watercolor pencils and collage.
