  Unkinking the Creative Hose is a workshop designed to move anyone, whether you consider yourself an artist or not, through the natural blocks we get as children or just through life that prevent us from fully expressing our authentic creative selves. We use techniques from Core Belief Restructuring to move through that process and then watercolor to get the juices flowing. A memorable experience, no artistic experience required, just an open mind and willingness to grow and create!
