The Creators in Love Mastermind
(Coming Soon!)
"...not your typical mastermind...it's a lot more fun!"
We’re women bringing our dreams to life and that’s epic! Simply being on this path is a gift unto itself but we can get disconnected from our vision and lose momentum. We second-guess ourselves and want miraculous signs from the heavens assuring us our ideas will work. We “don’t have time” though we still manage to binge watch an entire season of [insert delightful Netflix series here], while perpetually mapping out our 3-year plans. We get distracted by fear, lack of self-trust, and the sheer busy-ness of life. But whenever we have space to reconnect with our dreams, the light comes back on and we are inspired once again. What if we began to step into our visions for ourselves and our lives by approaching our creativity and heart work from a place of Love, desire, excitement, and enthusiasm?

The Creators in Love Mastermind is designed to help us do just that! It will keep us rooted in desire, both the catalyst for creating in a spirit of Love and the impetus for addressing any gunk that comes up along the way. It is based on the idea that being energized by desire and joy will produce worthy goals, impeccable work, and all the good that can come from the full expression of our talents, abilities, gifts and interests. The Creators in Love Mastermind is not your typical mastermind…it’s a lot more fun! It is one-of-a-kind because we infuse many opportunities to tune-in to our deepest selves and consider how our creations meet the needs of the world. We look for the most creative and inspiring ways from which to spring our discussions. We learn from each other’s questions, ideas, and insights. And we build camaraderie, friendship, and community into the fabric of the way we engage. What does your deepest self want to offer the world? If it is truly coming from that place, I believe the world needs it. So whether you are a stay-at-home mom with a passion for painting, a local artisan tinkering with the idea of a small shop, or a budding entrepreneur dreaming of a thriving business, this group can help you stay in Love as you offer your heart-work to the world. If that sounds amazing to you, read on for details!
"This group lights me on fire and makes me want to do amazing things! I am SO GRATEFUL that I became part of April's Content Creators' Mastermind. April has gathered a group of unique women who share a desire for a supportive space to actualize their dreams of producing inspiring content for the world...and discuss our progress with and challenges of growing our businesses. It is the perfect place to give and receive productive feedback. This group of ladies and the discussions we have totally light me up and make me want to conquer all of my biggest dreams! I can finally see myself making positive shifts to move in the direction I've been wanting to for years."

Details:
We will meet twice per month for six months, to explore and to activate, with ample time set aside for deepening, reflection, free play, and creation. The Exploration Meeting is all about generating an ongoing flow of inspiration and insights that can help us stay energized in our open-hearted creativity. There will be activities to complete prior to Exploration Meetings that are intended to inspire and spark creativity, while also accounting for busy schedules. The Activation Meeting is designed to support creators in motion and ground their creations in a sustainable way. Participants can also join a bi-weekly co-creating session to ensure dedicated time for creation.
"[April] is highly collaborative and has the ability to quickly establish a rapport with everyone she meets. Combined with her democratic approach and ability to communicate clearly and concisely, April can navigate even the most challenging conversations with ease. It is those soft skills that make her a natural-born leader."

Let’s get and stay inspired together! We spend time as scouts, explorers, and connoisseurs of inspiration, tuning in and listening to our deepest selves and our hearts’ aligned desires, while considering what the world really needs. We may talk to an expert, explore unique spaces, take a personal creative excursion, investigate or pattern interesting brands, interact with an ideal customer, attend an event, read poetry, explore activities, tools, journaling exercises, practices, and content that support introspection and reflection, or simply try a new flavor of ice cream.
These hands-on experiences will bring insights to life in a way nothing else can and are sure to stimulate our imagination, and get us thinking about our creations in new and exciting ways. We will come together and share our findings, why they resonated, and discuss any patterns, connections, or concepts that might be applied so we can turn our aha moments into inspired actions. The insights gathered can provide inspiration for positioning, create brand building and brand sustaining plans, inspire our next project idea, help identify further exploration opportunities, aid in setting a brainstorming agenda, be used to identify solutions and opportunities, and much more! In this way, we get clear on and continuously refine what we want to create in the world, stay centered and aligned with our vision, and ensure our creations unfold in a Love-led way.
"April exudes confidence, enthusiasm, and a genuine interest in my success. Our connection yielded several great takeaways and concrete next steps for me. I have renewed excitement and am re-energized as I see more clearly a path to achieving my goals and having a greater impact."

In this meeting, we get support from our peers to stay on track as we create our heart-work. We share our experiences, ask questions, show and share our creations for Loving feedback and discussion, brainstorm, troubleshoot, share resources, celebrate wins, and provide peer accountability. We also support each other through the fears, distractions, and life stuff that inevitably come up along the way and keep us from being creators in Love. Here, we continuously hone, refine, and develop as we play with our gifts, actively create, and find ways to sustain that creativity.
"[April]'s always remained curious and open to learn, while simultaneously demonstrating years of knowledge and experience as a reliable partner."
