If you’re like me, you’re often intrigued
and excited to learn about a new book that sounds just wonderful. The kind of
book that will inspire, teach, share great ideas and help you in some way on
your creative journey.
So, of course, you buy the book.
You may even read the first chapter or two. And then life comes along with its
to-do lists, laundry piles and Downton Abbey re-runs and the next thing you
know your new book has joined a growing pile of creativity books teetering in
the corner that you promise yourself you’ll get around to reading someday. For me,
odds are I’ll find another fabulous, life-changing book to purchase before I even
make a dent in my current teetering pile.
That’s why I’m thrilled to announce the Creative Oasis™ Book Club. Several times a year, I’ll choose a
book from my growing, teetering pile and share it in a teleclass format. (I’ll also share books that I’ve actually finished and just love so
much that I want others to experience them too!)
Each book club series will include
permission slips and creative prompts to help us dive a bit deeper into the
book. (Participants are responsible for securing their own copy of our chosen book.)We may also use exercises and activities found in our book if that applies. Our teleclass
calls will be one hour long and depending on the length and type of book, we’ll
meet once, twice or up to twelve weeks in a row. All calls will be recorded, so if you miss one, no worries. You can always go back and listen to the recordings.
The price of each book club series
will vary accordingly, but to kick things off, our first Creative Oasis™ Book Club will be FREE! Click here to let me know you'll be joining us.
For our first teleclass, in the spirit of keeping things
Kaizen and using small, gentle steps, I’ve chosen a short, fun and easy-to-read book, “Steal Like An Artist - 10 things nobody told you about being creative” by Austin Kleon.
Although this book is less than 150 small pages (many filled with illustrations) it's so chock full of wisdom and inspiration I believe we'll want to spend two weeks soaking in all of its creative goodness.
Again, since this is the inaugural Creative Oasis™ Book Club teleclass, I'm offering it for FREE (a $50 value)! If you'd like to join me please register by clicking here and sending me a brief e-mail.
The two calls for this book will take place Friday, April 12, 2013 from 11am to noon and Friday, April 19, 2013 from 11am to noon. (central time) Remember, all calls will be recorded, so if you miss a class, you can always go back and listen to the recording on your own time.
I'm so excited to finally be able to offer this series and look forward to sharing some excellent books with you all. I believe the Creative Oasis™ Book Club will provide a wonderful way for us to spark our own creativity, share our questions, insights and aha moments while enriching our lives with these fabulous books.
Until next time, all the best from
my Creative Oasis to yours,
Jill
