The main purpose of this group is to explore, learn, practice and expand our personal coaching skills to enhance this in unique creative ways in coaching our clients.
This group is for anyone who desires to be more creative and is interested in learning from artist how to stimulate our own creativity in coaching to deepen the relationship with our clients.

3. Artist: Tabitha Benedict.
About: Tabitha blends intuition, alchemical principles, and ancestral constellation work into a multifaceted approach to art. These are all fascinating fields that can work together in transformative and healing ways. Tabitha’s workshops can be a powerful way to guide others through the creative and healing processes. Workshops focus on intuitive art which involves creating art in a free-flowing, instinctive manner, where the participant relies on their inner sense of guidance rather than preconceived ideas and techniques. It’s about channelling emotions, thoughts or energies into the artwork, allowing it to emerge naturally without rigid structure or expectation.
4. Artist: Sarah Leistico.
"Sarah is an avid painter and hiker based out of Colorado who is inspired by nature's experiences and the adventures it offers along the way. Originally from Minnesota, Sarah has always been captivated by the mountains and magic of exploring new places. Her dream job as a child was to be a park ranger, and as a self-taught artist, creativity has always been a constant.
Sarah founded Abstract Adventures to share her love of nature and creativity with others. Abstract Adventures is an opportunity for anyone to connect to the outdoors and celebrate their creative spirit, no matter their artistic or outdoor ability."
