I look forward to opening my virtual tearoom, and welcoming you in on Friday 11 September 2015 Australian Time. Visit the information page to find out all of the details and register now to reserve your space. IN THIS INTERVIEW I WAS ASKED SOME POINTED QUESTIONS ABOUT CREATIVITEA TIME: Q: What in a short answer is Creativitea Time about Denise? A: It's about taking care of how you feel, allowing yourself to feel AND create. Q: Why have you made this your focus? A: Perhaps because I am an empathic, sensitive, 'over-feeler' (that's what I was labeled at primary school "too sensitive") So, I deeply appreciate when my feelings are considered when I am learning a new thing, or in vulnerable situations. ONline learning is a new playground for many, and there are numerous ways to 'get your art fix' now. Q: What can I expect inside this e-course, how is it different? A: You can expect raw and real, I am open and honest in the way I share the process I am demonstrating, I tend to share what's happening for me in real time if I suspect that could be helpful to someone in my class. *I take responsibility for my feelings and that's why daily checkin's via morning pages are something I will mention and recommend for their extremely helpful benefits. It's somewhat unique I think in the way that I have chosen to introduce various persona's to teach a week each 'with' me inside the course. This was not something I planned, but gosh I enjoyed it immensely. Q: Would you say this is more art journal based or painting? A: Art Journaling, there are painting demo's in the smashbook, and spiral bound art journal, drawing in a very easeful way (I actually have for many years avoided drawing as I didn't enjoy it - I have decided to #drawlikenooneisjudging and that's helped me relax about it.) ... so yes... 100% art journal based, with painting. But not making paintings on canvas. Q: Is this course all happy, happy, joy, joy, unicorns, love, light and rainbows? A: Not all no, ... I have included plenty of happy, joy, love, light and rainbow colours.. {sorry no unicorns in this one, NOT to say you cannot bring them yourself.} BUT I have also included anger, vulnerabilitea, rage, profanitea, honestea, fear, rebelliousness, grief, loss, outrageousness, dark and wildness. Q: How much is it? A: I have valued the course at $197, during the time it is running (and a lot of time prior) I am present to the group, and remain present and attentive for the duration of our e-course time, this would be so much more if we were in workshop setting, so I feel the charge is a very reasonable exchange of a practical nature in today's necessary currency. You can take advantage of a $40 discount registering before 31 August. Q: How long does the course run for? A: Creativitea Time is a 5 week online course ('virtual tearoom' website based) that you can do at your leisure over 6 months. I am live with the facebook group for that 5 week duration, and it remains open afterwards for the community that have gathered, met and shared there. INTERVIEWER : Denise. talking to herself. nod.

To be held accountable for being creative is just what I need at the moment. Please take me by the hand Denise, and lead me to that dusty box of art supplies sitting forlornly in the corner of my living room. They are screaming to be let out and run wild!!!
Denise

Sarah don't wait… enlist your inner child, she'll LOVE to help you get those art supplies moving, I hope we get to play at Creativitea Time too. :) 8/8/2015 07:55:52 pm
I just started my first "art journal" and I have no idea what I am really doing, (I only have one page done so far). I definitely consider myself an artist in other media, (clay and glass), but I have never really tried it out on paper or "journaling". I feel journaling would be a wonderful way to leave a tangible story of my creative life, (my dreams, my thoughts, my personality), for my posterity. Plus it would be a great way to get my creative on! I live to create and I would love to learn exactly how to do that when it comes to art journaling! Thanks! :)

best thing is in art journaling : There Are No Rules. so allow yourself to play and be free in there that's my advice for sure. .. hopefully we'll get to play together too x

I am supposed to write something so I can try to win a place in the new workshop called Creativitea. I have been trying to think of something awesomely powerful and delightful. I just cannot find the words to adequately describe how these wonderful courses that Denise Daffara does has opened and freed my creative painting . All I can say is one HUGE Thank you, along with 1000 kisses and hugs.

I really loved the Gypsy Creativitea course (and glad I have more time to finish it!). Your ease and grace and gentle allowing really speak to my heart, and make it easier to "play" in the course. I will happily share it on my FB account. Love to you, Denise. And thank you for your authenticity. xoxox Comments are closed.

Books I Love“There are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic.”
