Offered By: Skillshare
Course Description
Overview
We all have the power to transform our future. Join writer and artist Mari Andrew to self-reflect, discover your dreams, and take the first step to a creative life you love!
Mari Andrew knows what it is to build a creative life from scratch. In 2017, she embarked on a mission to post one drawing a day to her instagram as a way to help move through a difficult time in her life. Three years later, she’s amassed a following of over a million on Instagram, written the book she always dreamed of, and built a creative, fulfilling life she loves.
At every stage, Mari made time to pause and self-reflect to ensure she was on the right path. Now, she’s created a one-of-a-kind class to guide you to do the same. Through 9 fun, reflective writing and drawing exercises, Mari will guide you to explore key areas of your life and make actionable plans for your future.
Ranging from simple creative warm-ups to in-depth self-reflection journaling prompts, these exercises will touch nearly every area of your life, empowering you to get to know yourself and discover your dreams in a whole new way.
Work alongside Mari as you explore:
- What creativity means to you and simple, everyday ways to use it
- Career expectations, goals, and ways to use your unique skills
- The importance of community, and how to build friendships that last
- Healing and the power of moving forward, without forgetting the past
All are welcome to join Mari in this meditative journey of self-discovery. Designed to be explored in a time of transition (whether the New Year, a birthday, when moving to a new city or starting a new job), these prompts can be used again and again as your life continues to evolve.
After taking this class, you’ll have a north star to guide you as you continually push your creativity, develop personal goals, and reach for your dreams.
