			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Highly creative people who feel “stuck” can create problems for themselves. Beliefs about what we can and cannot do, unconscious fears inherited from our families or societies, anxiety about leaving behind the familiar can all contribute to feeling &#8220;stuck&#8221;. If highly creative people don&#8217;t constantly create, the natural force of creativity can turn into “destructivity”. It can manifest as financial problems, an addiction, on-going conflict and drama, a health problem or a host of other problems.</p>
<p>If you would like to explore your creative potential in a highly inspiring, safe and beautiful environment, come to our annual <a href="http://www.thechangeartistbook.com/index.php?option=com_content&#038;view=article&#038;id=8&#038;Itemid=7#retreat">Artistry of Change retreat</a> at <a href="http://www.hollyhock.ca/cms/index.cfm?Group_ID=4351">Hollyhock Oct. 1-4, 2009</a></p>
<p>In this program you will discover:</p>
<p>* habits that will allow you to continually re-invent yourself and keep your creative fire alive<br />
 * a 10-step self-coaching process you can use the rest of your life<br />
 * how to see past limited beliefs to find your real truth<br />
 * how to create a results-based action plan to manifest this next phase of your life</p>
