feed the beast in me and give her room to roam (read all 38 entries…)
Beast Mentoring 9 months ago

I’ve been keeping a one sentence journal on facebook. Yesterday, I considered writing about wanting or being destined to have a life that is legendary. Yesterday morning, tromping through the mud to get the car and rescue my laptop, I had a sense that it was time for my next transformation.

This morning, I got an email from a wonderful artist named Shiloh Sophia McCloud, inviting me to a six month mentoring with her in Healdsburg, which is in the wine country, about 90 miles from where I live. It would be six 10-hour Saturdays and would feature painting, writing, intentional creativity and sacred innovation, community and art. I bought some prints of hers last weekend. The cost of the program is exactly the amount that I had saved for another workshop in which I lost interest. I had forgotten about that money. The name of the program? Leading a Legendary Life Mentoring.

The course practices and principles are:
Vision: Activate and strengthen the gifts of right and left brain imagination
Gather: Create a culture of transformation in community with other women.
Create: Develop the Practice of Creativity. Paint a big beautiful painting.
Innovate: Learn to apply visionary principles to meaningful LifeWork
Think: Design and write the chronicles of your own legendary journey.
Work: Experience the Art and Wellness Weekly Disciplines
Love: Awaken your heart and work together to create a project of giving.

As if that wasn’t enough to convince me, the company that this artist created is called Cosmic Cowgirl Ink. The artist friend who recently died was part of a guerilla love/art duo called the Renegade Cowgirls. Not only that, but when I put up a very vague facebook status asking if I was going to do this, my friends jumped into the fray before I could even say what it was, telling me to go for it. Mr. Yes, with no idea what I was talking about, said he had my back.

The beast likes synchronicities, support and new adventures.

Wow.

Wow.

Have I missed your posting about it somewhere else or has it happened yet?

Wow.

It's about halfway done

(waaahhhh!!) and I’ve been painting and sketching and writing and learning a LOT and now I’m going to be a columnist for her publishing company’s e-zine, which is pretty darn sweet! I’m meeting a ton of artists, too, which is fantastic and motivating.
