If you have ever found yourself saying, “I can’t draw” or “I’m not creative” know that you can! As your advocate and founder of Creative Nature™Coaching, I believe we are all born with natural capacities to create and we all have creative potential of which we are unaware. This workshop provides a non-judgmental, supportive atmosphere of exploration in sketching. Through mindful inspired exercises such as; focused observation, calm attention, addressing thoughtful questions and exercising self-compassion, you will embrace your creative nature! As an outdoors, nature-based workshop, we find inspiration at Deborah’s home-studio in the beautiful Turtle Lake Valley just outside Durango.
