“Outward Bound” for the Inner Muse with Ellen Koronet

At any given moment, inside each of us, there are many feelings, thoughts, and forces in motion ~ sometimes at odds with one another, constantly striving towards some kind of balance. Although we have come to understand that divisive descriptions such as “right-brain thinking” and “left-brain thinking” are oversimplified and somewhat arbitrary, it is helpful to recognize the contrasts within the paradox. Seeing the juxtaposition can give just enough perspective to shift your focus, your thinking, and your actions. In this session, we will explore our Inner Muses and Mediators and find out how we can let THEM show US “the ropes.”

Ellen Koronet is Chief Fun Officer of LNK Creative, offering one-on-one coaching, creativity facilitation, focus groups and surveys. LNK Creative recently launched “Inner Muse Focus Groups,” a problem-solving, inspiration-magnetizing process for individuals and groups, conducted in person or on-line. Prior to becoming a guide for Right-brained experiences, Ms. Koronet spent many years in the corporate world. She has been married to her husband Dave for 24 years. Ellen and Dave live in Maryland with their two daughters, golden retriever (Yoshi) and white cat (Snowball of course).

THE POWER OF ASKING with ANDREA HYLEN

Experience the power of asking questions for guidance, support, in goal setting and in manifesting the life you desire. The power to ask has many layers. Knowing what to ask for starts with being in touch with our desires, dreams and visions. The problem is we don't always know what we want and even when we do know we don't know how to ask for support. Why do we hold back and how can we step into the power of asking?
