Learn the ABCs of true creative freedom with Sandy Abrams & Gianna Vallefuoco.
As childhood friends and fellow entrepreneurs, we connected in 2021 to create our own unique program utilizing breathwork, art, and mindfulness to teach how to harness the creative process. We've taken all the elements that allowed us to create our own successful businesses and careers, and weaved them into our program. This meant examining our own vulnerabilities and stumbling blocks, failures, risks, and of course the wonderful triumphs we've achieved as women entrepreneurs. We consider this self discovery process to be our recipe for resilience in the creative process. Together we began offering our in-person Align, Breathe, Create workshops and retreats from the USA to Europe in 2021. After a long season spent gathering momentum (and fallen leaves), hugging trees (and each other), and selecting sacred spaces across the globe, we were ready to share our nurturing method for unleashing your own innate creativity. In addition to art and breathwork, we include principles from neurobiology and mindfulness. We hope our program will continue to open many minds and hearts across the world.
CURRENT & UPCOMING EVENTS
ALIGN, BREATHE, CREATE Customized Training
Sandy teaches specific breathwork practices to regulate the nervous system and optomize conditions for entering flow state.
Gianna uses concepts from her Wisdom On Tap® mental fitness protocol, incorporating mindfulness, art, psychology, and neurobiology principles to harness creativity.
Sessions are from 75 minutes up to full day or multi day events. The intention is to develop a skill set for creative mindset. This framework of beliefs and assumptions is what we use to interpret the world around us. Mindset drives our behaviors and responses in each situation. This program teaches how to move from fixed to growth mindset, utilizing concepts from the brilliant teachings of Dr. Carol Dweck.
We will intentionally create the circumstances to allow innate wisdom or creativity to flow on tap. Flow state includes effortless focus, lack of self-referential thinking (such as self-consciousness), an illusion of time flying by, fluidity between body and mind, and a sense of intrinsic reward in the present. This creative state is amplified when we achieve it collectively as a group or community. This is the reason this program is most effective in person.
