Authors & Writers: Jen Jones Donatelli

Join Jen Jones Donatelli for a workshop at 1:30 p.m. Monday, July 24 as part of Lakeside’s Authors & Writing Series. This workshop, titled “Designing a More Creative Life,” will be held in the Fountain Inn Aigler Room.

“Designing a More Creative Life”
Feeling uninspired or stagnant? Come join this interactive workshop designed to help you get back into your creative groove. Designing a more creative life doesn’t have to mean taking up violin lessons, watercolor painting by the lake, or journaling daily (although it certainly can!}. It might look like spending time in nature, taking morning “me time” or finding activities that better align with your values and passions.

Taught by Artist’s Way facilitator and creative coach Jen Jones Donatelli, this session will cover some helpful tools from a variety of modalities including The Artists Way and design thinking to help infuse some color back into your world. Please bring a journal, pen, and an open mind!
