Join me on Spark Your Creative Coach Instagram tonight at 6:00 pm ET as I talk about how to use color for creativity. Jump on at 6:00 pm ET TONIGHT. Would love to “see” you.
In recognition of National Color Therapy Month, I will be interviewing Sherry Steine RYT 500 Yoga Teacher, Integrated Wellness Practitioner. Certified Color Therapist. Award-Winning Author, visual and doll artist (and my twin sister 😍) about the mindful use of color in our creative practice next TODAY at 6 pm ET on IG Live! This talk will differ from traditional color theory as many of us learned in art school but from a more intuitive and nurturing perspective.
A few topics we will cover include:
-Learn what color therapy is;
-How color can increase, support or inspire creativity in the creative space (art studio, writing space, etc.);
-How to select the right colors to support your personal expression for overall well-being
Join Sherry and me for what promises to be a lively discussion about the mindful use of color and creativity!
Everything is magnetic, and when something good comes to you, it magnetically attracts more good things.
