SUMMARY:Clearing Space for Creative Expression - 2-hour workshop in Bellingham\, WA
DESCRIPTION:A creative and artful life requires dedicated space\, time\, and focus\, all of which can be easily taken over by clutter. The piles of paper and supplies covering your surfaces\, a jam-packed calendar\, or a head full of too many ideas competing for your attention can all get in the way. Bringing inspirations to life also requires balancing structure and freedom\, planning and spontaneity. We’ll dive into this juicy territory with discussion\, writing processes\, and playful strategies. \nOnly three spaces left. If you’re interested\, contact Carolyn.

SUMMARY:Clearing Clutter As A Sacred Act Introductory Workshop - FULL!
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis small-group workshop is designed for people in the Bellingham area who would like to engage in  the process invited by my new book\, Clearing Clutter as a Sacred Act.  \nThis workshop is now full. Please contact Carolyn at carolyn@confrontingclutter.com if you’d like her to schedule this workshop again in the near future. \nWhen you are going through the belongings you’ve accumulated over the years\, deciding what to keep and what to let go\, it brings up deep questions:  \n\nIf I let go of this will I be okay? \nWill I still be me?  \nWhat is enough? \nCan I make peace with past chapters of my life? \nWhat is important to me now? \nHow do I deal with the fact that I’m not going to live forever?\n\n\nWhen the process gets overwhelming\, it helps to approach it with reverence and intention. You can dedicate your clutter clearing to something or someone that matters to you. You can incorporate little gestures of self-compassion. You can pause when you get stuck and use expressive writing or art to get more clarity. You can invoke unseen help. You can use simple rituals to release objects that are emotionally loaded. Saying an intentional goodbye to objects related to a past life chapter\, role\, or stance\, can help you be more present and allow space for what’s emerging in your life. \nYou can no longer sign up here. This workshop is full.

SUMMARY:FREE Workshop - Making Space for New Beginnings
DESCRIPTION:If we want to set intentions and bring something fresh into our lives for the New Year\, we need to open up some room. That means taking a fresh look at what has become clutter for us\, and refraining from immediately filling the spaces we open up. It means clarifying what we’re attempting to bring in\, while staying open to the possibilities that may be coming our way. Come join this interactive workshop where we’ll explore Making Space for New Beginnings in our homes\, heads\, hearts\, and schedules. \nThis is a Forum for the Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship that happens before the morning worship service. It is open to members and friends of the fellowship\, but also to the greater community. “All who come in the spirit of good will are welcome.” \n

SUMMARY:Mindful Pretending: A Journal Writing Workshop - FULL!
DESCRIPTION:Imagination isn’t just about escape fantasies. Pretending isn’t just for kids. Writing processes can provide doorways into the imaginal world that bring helpful information with practical applications. When you write letters to and from objects\, dialogue with people you’ve never met\, or describe something that is yet to occur\, you may be concerned that you’re “just making it up.” You’re really using a highly effective and under-used resource—your imagination. In this small-group workshop we’ll try out several versatile\, accessible\, journal writing processes to explore this fertile territory.\n \nTo register\, send an email to Carolyn \nTHIS WORKSHOP IS FULL!

SUMMARY:Writing to Cultivate Curiosity
DESCRIPTION:The author\, Elizabeth Gilbert\, describes a creative life as one where we steer more by curiosity than by fear. Sometimes that leads to important new directions. Sometimes it just makes life more interesting. To stop and notice what we’re curious about requires some spaciousness. In this small group workshop we’ll invite that space and practice writing processes to playfully explore what is nudging us for attention. \nSpace is limited. To register\, send an email to Carolyn here. \n

SUMMARY:Writing through Transitions
DESCRIPTION:Transition refers to our internal response to the changes we make and the ones that life brings. The changes can be perceived as positive\, negative\, or a mixture of both\, and can be specific\, time-driven events like a new job or a longer process such as the loss of a loved one or recovery of health. \nCoach and Journal Therapist Leia Francisco made a study of how to use brief writing practices to effectively navigate the ups and downs of a transition process and increase the potential for a more positive next chapter of your life. This workshop will be an opportunity to begin to explore the territory. Bring a journal and a pen. Space is limited. \nIf interested please contact Carolyn.
