You may run out of energy, but not creativity.
—Rick Rubin
As creatives, our relationship with stress is deeply intertwined with our art, influencing our lives in ways that can both move us forward or leave us feeling trapped in time like a broken clock with gears stuck, springs unwound, the weight of the world creating too much pressure. But we are not machines and we are not broken—we are artists living in human bodies that sometimes, without us even realizing it, get stuck in the stress response cycle, experiencing a state of depletion that robs us of our vitality known as creative burnout.
Join J. Faye D’Avanza—author of the newsletter and guide to Keeping Creative Time, artist, librarian, yogi, and creative coach—for a grounding, heart-centered session designed to help you learn about the body’s stress response cycle, be inspired to take creative action, and experience the wisdom of the body to feed your creative joy.
In this live webinar, Faye will share inspiration and research found in literature alongside nourishing body-mind practices to help you find your way out of the stress response cycle when life in the modern world feels overwhelming—including tools to ground and regulate your nervous system, evidence-based stress management practices, and nourishing ways to rebalance and feel your whole creative life again. Whether you’re a professional artist seeking to deepen your creative practice, a teaching artist looking to support your students’ creativity from a holistic lens, or simply someone who wants to feel more grounded and alive as a creative person—this session is for you.
Faye has dedicated her creative-based business, Library of Care, to supporting individuals, communities, and businesses in transforming the way we care for our creativity—our source of power—and is honored to hold this space with you as we enter the season of new beginnings seeking more connection to our creative communities and joy in our one wild and precious creative life.
