CREATIVITY COACHING QUOTES

"I came to Elizabeth for creativity coaching because I was looking for practical support in reaching my goals. I received that support and I also experienced something profoundly enriching that I could not have imagined in advance of beginning the journey into creativity coaching.

As a person and coach, Elizabeth has a deeply authentic presence. Her intuitive, sensitive, loving and creative approach means that I have experienced coaching with her as a beautiful dance in which I get to choose where, when and how to move. Elizabeth holds the sacred dancing space, joining me in my dance when I want to be partnered and standing back to witness me when I want to dance solo in my own limelight!

Through the process of creativity coaching with Elizabeth, I have come to connect with deeper layers of myself and to hear more clearly the music and rhythm of my own heart and soul. Elizabeth is a truly wonderful, inspirational and unique coach. I am deeply grateful to her."

“You have helped me learn to step back and let the art speak to me. I am very grateful for that. I have taken on several challenges that I likely would have been too intimidated to try before our coaching. You have helped me step outside my box and I am forever appreciative.”

“Trepidation, doubt, limiting beliefs, and living in the past are the top reasons why artists don't bring their creative dreams into physical manifestation. I am so grateful you have a plethora of tools in your Coaching Creativity Toolbox to assist me in moving past all of my blocks while making me feel safe to do so. I know anyone who works with you, artists or not, will thrive.”

THE ARTIST'S WAY QUOTES
"Each time I participate in Elizabeth's Artist's Way class,
I get back in touch with my inner child
and the joy of re-discovering and exploring my creative dreams.
Her gentle, but deep facilitating provides a
safe forum for each group
to find its own way of being. "
Diane

the inner beauty of our Spirit. "

ARTSHARE QUOTES

“I LOVE ArtShare! Sharing what brings our heart deep gladness with each other brings us together in a way that feels more satisfying than most social interactions I experience. It feels so good to share something creative with the group - I feel like something inside me that's dear to my heart has been heard and accepted and supported. It helps build my courage to share even more of myself with the rest of the world, in my daily living. Seeing what others are creating also inspires me to allow myself to create more and express the creations more. I am not an "artist" person in the usual sense of the word. That is, I don't write poetry or stories, or paint or draw, or play an instrument, etc. Usually, at ArtShare I share something that someone else has created. Even so, the tremendous benefit I get out of it is that I feel appreciated and accepted for just being myself. And it's helped me be more at ease when speaking in front of others.“
Diane Diller, workshop presenter

“I longed to be a storyteller for a many years, but lacked confidence and experience.
Through participating in several ArtShares, I found my voice as a storyteller.
In that forum, I felt heard, appreciated, and supported.
At an ArtShare, people come together to give each other care and attention, and to nurture even the rough, unpolished beginnings of creative expression so that they will grow. (Creative expression may take many forms, among them song, dance, storytelling, improvised theatre, comic routines, the playing of a musical instrument, sharing photographs, paintings, or sculptures.) With gentleness, Elizabeth facilitates a sense of a community, in which everyone feels safe, welcome, and affirmed. Her unique sparkle and her clear confidence in each person’s innate creativity engender a felt sense of magic, and the unexpected happens. We become braver, freer, and more expressive of who we truly are; we blossom.”
Jean McKinney, storyteller, yoga teacher

“Elizabeth Clontz is a natural hostess of this gracious and creative event. The evening brings out even the shy possessor of talent, who may have wanted all his or her life to perform. She has a way of softly encouraging all performers, and seems to notice only the positives in people and unfolding events. This makes for a magical, creative evening.”
Barbara Janeway, art teacher

"I really like ArtShare. The sharing of authentic creativity and support for one another is what the world needs now. I certainly need it. I've had a slump creatively for quite a while. ArtShare helps bring me back to remembering that there is no slump in the present moment; that inhibitions based on past memories can easily be relinquished and the freedom to gift to others some expression of the Movement of God are all very possible now. Share Art as an Expression of the Transformational Life and you share with all in the Fullness of Spirit."
Ron Rudin

"The lack of judgment, being accepted for all I am, is better than a birthday."
Sue Benson

"As a street performer InterPlay creates a safe place for exploration of expression.
As a bodyworker InterPlay encourages tuning in to "body wisdom".
As an advocate of inner peace InterPlay presents the arts of "witnessing" and "noticing" through which I witness another and notice my bodyspirit experience rather than criticize or pass judgement."
Dale Steele

"InterPlay gently uncovers the core self layer by layer, inviting it to play in fullness in community. The process strengthens connection to joy and life energy."
Elizabeth Clontz
