Summer Session: May - July 2007

CREATIVE CENTER CREATIVITY SUMMER: Three special events to get your creative juices flowing and help you achieve creative success.

This summer, the Creative Center is all about bringing more creativity into our everyday lives. We have planned a three-month series of workshops designed to inform and inspire you to release the creativity that is in all of us. First we will develop the skills needed to create our futures as we envision them. Then we will explore ways to inspire ourselves to create our own art, whatever that may be. Be sure to join us this inspirational summer and nurture your inner creativity.

REGISTRATION / REFUND POLICY: Registration for all workshops is due 48 hours prior to the first session. Sometimes participants leave registration until the last minute. If the class is popular they are disappointed because they cannot reserve a place. If it does not meet the minimum required number of students the workshop is cancelled at this deadline. To guarantee your place in the class please register at least 7 days in advance of the scheduled date. Reminder: a refund must be requested at least 48 hours before the class. After that deadline no refunds will be issued and credit cards will be charged. There is a $5 charge for refunds. A class cancelled by FOTM will be fully refunded. Any stated materials costs are payable in cash to instructors on the day of the class.

Unless otherwise noted, all classes are held in the FOTM Creative Center, 1141 E. Main Street, in the Downtown Ventura Cultural District.

   
The Art of Manifesting: Creating Your Future
(Age 18 to 88)

Instructor: Carole Lee Dean
You are manifesting every day. The trick is to manifest what you want, not what you don’t want. Manifesting is simply using the laws of attraction, visualization, and faith in your self. Using the techniques and exercises taught in this workshop, you will learn to create realistic goals and a working “to-do list.” The skills developed over the course of three sessions will enable you to create a life full of joy, abundance and health. Visit www.fromtheheartproductions.com for more information.
Fee: $210 for all three sessions. The Art of Manifesting: Creating Your Future is recommended and will be available for purchase during class but is not mandatory. The cost is $18.00 for the book or $23 for the CD. An hour is provided for lunch each meeting day.
