Workshop: Mindful Creativity Tuesday Restoring Balance Luncheon at Seton Cove with Melinda Rothouse Tuesday, May 2nd, 2017, Noon - 1:00 p.m. Seton Cove Spirituality Center 3708 Crawford St. Austin, TX, 78731 “It is not necessary that you leave the house. Remain at your table and listen. Do not even listen, only wait. Do not even wait, be wholly still and alone. The world will present itself to you for its unmasking. It can do no other. In ecstasy it will writhe at your feet.”—Franz Kafka This Tuesday, join creativity coach, consultant, educator, musician, and PhD psychology candidate, Melinda Rothouse, MA, for a lively exploration of the creative process from the perspective of mindfulness and the contemplative arts. The contemplative arts disciplines—arising out of traditional meditation and mindfulness practices—regard creativity as a basic human faculty that most anyone can cultivate and express. From this perspective, creativity emerges naturally from the practice of meditation, which helps practitioners to slow down, become present, and experience the world of the senses more clearly and directly. This session will include a brief guided meditation, experiential activity, and interactive discussion. Don’t miss this informative and engaging lunch hour session!

with Charlotte Gullick and Melinda Rothouse Thursday, February 9th, 2017, 12:30-1:30 p.m. Tech Ranch Austin Entrepreneurship is essentially a journey of creativity, requiring the generation of innovative products and services to solve real-world problems. Creative innovation requires both divergent (non-linear, so called “right brain”) and convergent (linear, “left brain”) thinking, integrating different neural pathways to imagine and envision solutions and put them into action. This dynamic, hands-on workshop will demonstrate how to move between the two types of thinking with agility and clarity. Each participant will have the opportunity to focus on a specific entrepreneurial challenge or project to arrive at a better understanding of their own creative process and productivity.

International Coach Federation Meeting Riverbend Church, 4214 N Capital of Texas Hwy, Austin, TX 78746 $10 for ICF Members, $15 for Non-members In business, success requires the ability to connect and resonate with colleagues, employees, vendors, and clients. The path to authentic connection begins with sharing our ideas and experiences, yet many struggle with the level of vulnerability needed for true connection, which can often be perceived as weakness in the professional context. We suggest that appropriate vulnerability can actually establish credibility and create opportunities for collaborative thinking and connection, as well as foster professional growth. At the root of a good story is the power of empathy – the ability to create emotional connections that resonate between individuals and across the human experience. Not only do vulnerability and storytelling create connection, they can also transform individuals, relationships, and organizations. Join us for an evening of exploring and expanding how you're telling your professional story. Join us for an evening of expanding our professional storytelling tools. In this interactive workshop we will: • cultivate awareness of where our stories live in the body • convey our professional narratives with power and intention • deepen working relationships through empathy and authenticity For more information: www.austincoaching.com Through the Lens: Bearing Witness, Creativity, and Healing
