simple and difficult

A fabulous new book!!

"Love one another and you will be happy.  It's as simple and difficult as that."  (Michael Leunig)

What if we simply walked into the world in a more loving way?  What if we learned the difference between loneliness and solitude?  What if we approacbed each situation with one four word question in our minds and hearts; "what would love do?"

Return and Reclaim

Returning to Creative Dreams


Our creativity is an important part of being a well-rounded human being. For many of us, this has been shut down.

As children, many of us entertained fantasies or even goals of being an actor, singer, dancer, artist, or musician. In some cases, we received enough encouragement to develop our abilities in those creative arenas, but somewhere along the way we stopped. This stopping may have been due to circumstances beyond our control or to our own unconscious acts of self-sabotage. Being creative can be scary in a world that seems to value logic over imagination and practicality over dreaming. We can forgive ourselves for shutting down or turning our attention away from our inner artist, but perhaps we can also take steps to reclaim our dreams.

In certain times and places, developing a creative ability was considered an important part of being a well-rounded human being. It was not necessary to be a professional or a masterly genius, because the act of creativity was valued in and of itself. It gifts are manifold—from the sheer pleasure of allowing our imaginations free reign to sharing and enjoying the fruits of our labor. Children share drawings and songs freely, without self-consciousness, and there is no reason why we cannot do the same thing. You may already be remembering some lost form of expression, such as making jewelry or writing songs. Your soul may be responding with an energetic lift as it feels its way back to a time when it was allowed to express itself freely. Your brain, on the other hand, may be throwing up obstacles, like the idea that you are too old or do not have the time.

The truth is, you are not too old, and if you have time to pick up a pen, you have time to make a doodle or write a haiku. Recognize that the obstacles you find before you have arisen from a place of fear and that they will wane in power every time you do something creative. Each creative act takes you deeper into a realm of beauty and magic, a realm that you have every right to return to and reclaim.

THREE SISTERS’ SPIRIT PARTNERS WITH KATHIE GIORGIO, OWNER OF ALLWRITERS’ WORKPLACE & WORKSHOP TO OFFER NEW OPPORTUNITY

Waukesha, WI, February 22, 2010 – Three Sisters’ Spirit, a retail store and wellness sanctuary committed to educating and empowering individuals in making healthy lifestyle choices is partnering with Kathie Giorgio,MA, owner of Allwriters’ Workplace & Workshop in Downtown Waukesha to offer a workshop series.

Join Kathie Giorgio, published writer and experienced writing coach and workshop facilitator, at Three Sisters’ Spirit for a two-part workshop series: “Self-Illumination Through Art and Words.” The first session meets Sunday, March 7th from 11:00am to 2:00pm, and the second session meets Sunday, March 14th from 11:00am to 2:00pm. Space in the workshop is limited, so register early! The workshop cost is $100.00 in advance, and includes both sessions, as well as materials. At the door, the workshop fee is $125.00.

As Giorgio explains, “The best part about this workshop is that you don’t need to be a writer or an artist! You don’t need to be anything but human!” Designed to provide participants with an opportunity to experience themselves uniquely, this workshop encourages entrants to seek knowledge about who they are and who they’ve been, as well as who they might yet become.

For the first session, participants will be presented with a plain Styrofoam mannequin head and a lot of choices: beads, feathers, paints, buttons… you name it. Entrants will view the mannequin as a mirror and create what they see there … themselves. Then, in the last session, participants will write to the created reflection of themselves, in any style or format that they feel best expresses who they are. At the end of this workshop, participants will walk out the door with a better sense of who they are and what they can accomplish in their lives.
