What is Women Embracing Creativity?

Women Embracing Creativity is an enlightening eight-week course designed to introduce you to your true creative power.

What is a class meeting like?

When you come to a Women Embracing Creativity class meeting, get ready to have a good time! Our meetings take place in friendly, safe environments where you can feel comfortable expressing your ideas, asking questions, and exploring your own creative truths. We usually begin with a snack and friendly conversation, and then we get down to the business of having some creative fun! We'll delve into our imaginations, work on a creative project together, and have time to share our thoughts about our experiences throughout the week. Our meetings don't follow a set agenda; rather, each meeting molds to what the women in the group want to do, sometimes turning into a lighthearted play session and others becoming a heartfelt and honest time for sharing. After class, we leave with enjoyable Creative Homework to strengthen our understanding of creativity throughout the week.

How did Women Embracing Creativity come to be?

Women Embracing Creativity was developed by trombonist Christina Thompson, who enjoys an active professional music career in Raleigh, North Carolina. Throughout her musical career, Christina has been privileged to meet a number of strong, capable women. However, she was astonished at how many of these otherwise powerful women were tentative and afraid when it came to using their creative talents. Drawing from her experiences as a female creator as well as her interactions with hundreds of women throughout her career, Christina designed the course to help women develop a sense of confidence around their creativity--by overcoming creative blocks, developing creativity-supporting habits, and learning to treat their ideas and abilities with respect.
