Description
A manifesto is a declaration of values and ideals. It is foundational and asks the question, "What matters to you most?"
A creative manifesto focuses on your creative expression. Writing one can not only help you define who you are as an artist, it can also help you develop a unique lens through which to view all of your creative endeavors. Once written, your manifesto help inspire you with the exact words you need to hear when you’re feeling discouraged, blocked or frustrated.
In this workshop, we’ll explore the basic components of a creative manifesto: beliefs/values, intentions/goals, and wisdom/vision, ideally written in the present tense. Through a series of questions and prompts, you’ll discover:
- What you're most passionate about
- What drives you
- Why you do what you do
- What are your purpose and motives with your creative process
This can help you understand your art, your relationships, and your life.

A Few Highlights
In 2018, I became a group facilitator for a project started by the 92nd Street YMCA called Ben Franklin Circles. These groups gathered all over the United States focusing on Ben Franklin's 13 Virtues. We met monthly in members' homes for over a year. Each meeting was lively and full of insight and wisdom.
In December 2018, I self published a book I wrote called Creative Alchemy: Accessing the Extraordinary Power of the Muse to Transform Your Art & Your Life. I offer a free guidebook on my website for those readers that want to read the book with a group. Sales have been modest and I have some wonderful reviews.
In 2019, I partnered with a good friend of mine to teach online spiritual classes to students in countries throughout the Middle East. My friend was born in Israel and is Arab Israeli, so I taught the classes in English and he translated them into Arabic. We taught a total of four classes over two years. The shortest one was 12 weeks and the longest one lasted an entire year.
