About the Workshop
Join me at the woman-owned bookstore Ink Fish Books in Warren, Rhode Island, for a free community workshop to help you discover what’s keeping you (and your creative energy) stuck in the stress cycle while practicing tools to fill your own cup first.
As artists, makers, healers, and helpers we believe in the power of our work to transform lives—and it does! But what happens when that change and transformation comes at the expense of ourselves and our creative practice? Burnout, and its accompanying feelings of powerlessness, overwhelm, exhaustion, frustration, resentment, anxiety, and apathy are all classic signs that we’ve been giving from an empty cup, that we (and our creative energy) are stuck in the stress cycle.
Through story, creative questions, mindful prompts, and the introduction of real self-nourishment tools, you’ll discover what’s keeping you stuck, gain resources to share with others, and practice filling your own cup first.
This workshop draws from the research, wisdom, and inspiration found in literature, including Burnout andThe Burnout Workbook both by Emily Nagoski, PhD, and Amelia Nagoski, along with many others featured in the Whole Creative Living Collection at Library of Care.
