Join us in this workshop and release the constraints of linear thinking, limiting ideas, concepts or emotions that are living in your body, so you can freely access the boundless power of your creativity. You will walk away from this workshop with a deeper feeling of security in your inner vision, as well as the ability to channel the intuitive flow of your infinite power towards your creative expressions and projects.

• Why mystery is Ayesha’s muse
• Reclaiming your identity as an artist
• Inviting play and innocence into the everyday
• Making space for uncertainty and rumination
• Honoring the authentic joy of creating
• How our intuition is always speaking to us, but we don’t trust in it
• On knowing what you want and asking the right questions
• Embodying the present moment
• On consciously creating the life we desire
• On the innate joy and satisfaction that comes from hard work
• How Ayesha reclaimed her time and her body
• Embracing the weirdness of being alive
• Being patient and compassionate with yourself in the process of reconditioning
