It's Friday! Have you been working for the weekend?Art Nurture presents: The Poetics of Work Project2/28/2014 So, today is Friday. Friday has many meanings for each of us, depending on our lifestyles. Friday could be the day you cut loose and go out, collapse on the couch, head to your weekend job, spend time watching your kids play sports, or whatever suits your fancy! Traditionally, we think of Monday as the beginning of the work week. Sometimes we even get stressed out on Sunday night just thinking about Monday and all that it means for us. We work for the "weekend". Then Friday rolls around, the end of our "work week", and we are expected to really soak up life for a couple of days until Monday rolls around again. Have you been working for the weekend? Do you just grit your teeth and make it through? Or do you have a sneaking suspicion that you are being pulled to a deeper calling, but aren't sure what that is? Maybe you know your calling, but are uncertain of how you'd like to live that out in the world? Maybe you are totally in the groove! Maybe you have it all figured out! Perhaps you are living in your "sweet spot" with a lovely poetic balance and rhythm with work, life, and your highest creative ideals. Beauty. It turns out, I have found it impossible to talk about Cultivating Creativity and Nurturing your Art without talking with people about their work, their time, their money, their talents, their desires. We really cannot separate the creative conversation from the work conversation. In fact, I began having these conversations with everyone! That is why I am so excited about The Poetics of Work Project online workshop this upcoming Monday evening! The Poetics of Work Project focuses on four guiding principles. Narrative- telling & living out your authentic story Authentic Authority- growing your confidence Voice- cultivating your work & your craft Expansion- sharing your work in the world What if life & work weren't so separate? What if it worked in beautiful harmony in rhythm? What if our lives were a balanced & beautiful piece of poetry? I would love for you to be part of the conversation. Please join us on Monday evening. The Poetics of Work Project will illuminate the relationship between the work you do every day and your highest creative ideals.
Live your authentic story. Love your commute. Details: Date: 3/3/14 The Poetics of Work Project Location: Livestream video Time: 7:00-9:00 pm EST Ticket: $29 BUY NOW!

Court, I am looking forward to learning more about finding that sweet spot with work, life and creativity. While I LOVE what I do, I sometimes feel like the lines are blurred and I can't separate it at all... so I can step away and get a fresh perspective. I can't wait to hear your perspective on how to create that harmony.

Absolutely, Lily, the connection between them and that also involves the honoring of your authentic self and care of self within that, because we are people first and our most beautiful work comes from our humanity. How lovely that you are able to work both from your passion and from your home and that you have found a work model that works best for you! Thanks for sharing : )

I'm one of those lucky few who loves what I do, I'm actually waiting all weekend to get back at it on Monday :-)

Court, I used to be one of those who didn't like Sunday because it meant Monday was next. Two days to decompress and have fun just wasn't enough and really it was one day because Sunday I was already stressing. I also hated that Sunday which used to be my favorite day of the week because it meant I could be really present with my family seemed to be taken away.

I am a lucky one. I do love my work but sometimes I need reminding and then other days I need to be reminded I have other things to do :)
