Topic: A Virtual Cafe with guest facilitator Lorri Sulpizio on topic of vulnerability as it relates to creativity and entrepreneurship.
Virtual Cafe with Lorri Sulpizio - Vulnerability and Creativity: Join us in welcoming guest facilitator, Dr. Lorri Sulpizio, Director of the Conscious Leadership Academy and the founder of the Center for Women’s Leadership at the University of San Diego. Lorri will guide a discussion about where we are, what we need, what we are learning, and what we might shift to adapt to this moment and meet ourselves. We will examine vulnerability as it relates to creativity and explore how shame often gets in the way of creative production. Lorri will offer tips on cultivating self-compassion, recognizing guilt and shame narratives as they relate to your work, and how to revise those narratives into healthier drafts.
Workshop Prep: Upon logging into the Zoom call, please upload into the comments section 1 picture (any picture) that is reflective or symbolic of where you are creatively, emotionally, and/or mentally, etc., along with 1-2 sentences describing what that picture evokes for you. This can be as artistic or as literal as you'd like!
Post Workshop Project: We will end the meeting with a creative prompt relating to the topics we've covered. At the end of the month, we will reveal our creations to the public (via virtual or blog showcase) as a curated project, which will serve as our September Community Gathering!
This workshop is free to all Lady Brain Members - you can RSVP and find login info in the private Facebook group or Member Toolbox. Prospective members, please visit the below link to learn more about joining Lady Brain Collective!
