Interrupted Connection

Welcome to the Summer Series of The Wilderness of Creativity.

Jody is a Reiki Teacher & Women’s Circle facilitator. She’s also a Writer, Author and Mum to two teenage boys. After 17 years of working for the same company in a heavily male-dominated industry, Jody faced a shocking redundancy. Realising she’d spent years conforming, people pleasing and dimming her light, she knew this was the universal break she needed. It was time to re-claim her identity, self-worth, purpose and joy. She now gently guides & empowers women to do the same through teaching Reiki, holding Women’s Circles and her signature Self-Care Mastery course.

Key discussion points:

• The importance of taking a break to rediscover your own joy, creativity, and passions, as a means of recharging and refocusing your energy.

• How to create space for balance and prioritise self-care to prevent burnout.

• Ways of embracing creativity as a powerful tool for personal growth, which will allow you to learn, experiment, and evolve as a person.

• Recognising the challenges that creative children face in the current education system, which may stifle their natural talents and inclinations.
