[NEohioPAL] Start the year grounded in creativity and renewal! ✨

[Tessa Gaffney]

As we step into a new year, let’s pause and reflect on the energy that
fuels our creativity.

In our demanding and uncertain world, working as an artist is often tied to
constant production in order to survive. Regardless of the physical,
financial, and mental toll, artists have to generate nonstop which easily
leads to burn out.

The truth is, creativity thrives not just on time, but on energy—renewed,
nurtured, and aligned. It’s vital to reframe how we approach self-care with
an understanding of the need for rest and recovery in the creative process.

The next installment of our Artist Advancement Series is "Caring for
Yourself: Artistic Leadership," a workshop designed for artists to
reconnect with their energy, develop tools to balance artistic output with
meaningful recovery, and grant themselves permission to rest.

Through interactive exercises and reflective prompts, we’ll go beyond
traditional notions of self-care and explore key dimensions of well-being.

💡 Thriving: Flourishing today and dreaming big for tomorrow
🌈 Wonder: Embracing challenge, awe, and innovation
🌟 Wisdom: Aligning purpose, vision, and genius
🔥 Fuel: Nourishing body, mind, and spirit
🎶 Flow: Finding presence and freedom in your art

This workshop encourages letting go of perfectionism and embracing
spontaneity through a mix of improvisation, group collaboration, guided
reflection, and actionable tools.


🗓 *When*: Saturday, January 18 | 11 AM–2 PM
📍 *Where*: United Way of Summit & Medina, Akron, OH
