Creativity UnLocked Arts Conference
Using the story of her own journey, Alanna will share the freedom she found in accepting her call to pursue a creative life and learning to live with a ‘recklessly creative’ attitude. Tune out the voices that tell you writing (or art of any kind) is frivolous and chase after the thing you’re meant to be doing. Through guided exercise, discussion, and reflection, this workshop will help you take those first steps towards your creative goals and accepting that we were all created to create!
