Paint FEARLESS™ In Sedona!!

d9eee-totalalignment

One of the perks of being an  “official” FEARLESS™ Painter (meaning someone who ventured their way through BIG) is that you receive first dibs on all my FEARLESS™ Painting workshops and retreats!!! Total Alignment: my second annual FEARLESS™ Painting Retreat in Sedona, Arizona went on pre-sale for ONLY my FEARLESS™ Painters this December 28th.

With great excitement and my deepest gratitude, I am happy to announce that Total Alignment is TOTALLY SOLD OUT–even though today is the first day it “officially” goes on sale!

I intended to host two Total Alignments this year, but with our little one on the way this Spring–there has been a slight change of plans!! But expect two Total Alignments in 2013 in the two best times of year in Sedona: Spring and Fall.

But if you had your heart set on painting FEARLESS™ this year in Sedona please email your name and email address to DirtyFootprints@yahoo.com requesting to be on the waiting list.  If there are any cancellations you will be the first to know!

I can’t wait for October 4th!

IMPORTANT FACTS
♢ To preserve an intimate, supportive, sharing atmosphere space is limited to 12 participants and women only. Families and friends are NOT permitted to join on hiking treks.
♢ Lodging is NOT included. Sedona, Arizona is a small, safe, and quaint town. I have personally stayed in Kings Ransom, La Quinta Inn, and Wildflower Inn and have had nice accommodations with each hotels. Each of these hotels are located approximately a 5-10 minutes drive from the Sedona Creative Life Center. For more information on lodging visit HERE.
♢ If you are feeling a bit adventurous and open to meeting new people, I highly recommend looking into CouchSurfing.org to fit your accommodations.  This is a free service where people from all over the world can connect with others who offer up a couch/room/house for FREE to visitors.  I have stayed with Couch Surfing hosts before (not in Sedona) and have had an awesome experience.  If money is tight–this is a fun way to meet interesting people and stay in Sedona for free!
♢ To travel to Sedona from outside Arizona, you would normally fly to Phoenix and then drive or take an Airport Shuttle from Phoenix to Sedona (driving time is about two hours by car –longer by shuttle). For further directions please visit HERE.
♢ Morning hiking treks are geared to moderate skill level. Slight uphill and downhill slopes and possibly slippery terrain can be expected. Athletic or hiking shoeware is suggested. In case of rain please bring an umbrella and/or rain coat. A small backpack or shoulder bag to carry water bottle, journal, and camera is encouraged. Expect morning temperatures in the upper forties to low fifties Fahrenheit. All hiking treks will be led by Connie Hozvicka.
♢ Yoga will be integrated into the retreat as a gentle, meditative, practice that focuses on breathing and light stretching–perfect for all body shapes and sizes. No previous yoga experience or supplies is needed. All Yoga will be led by Connie Hozvicka, certified Yoga Instructor (500 hour).

♢  FEARLESS™ Painting experience is not required.  If you are new to FEARLESS™ Painting I highly recommend you acquaint yourself with this process a bit before attending.  You can do so for free through my free online FEARLESS™ Painting course: Total Alignment or through any of my other online workshops all found HERE.
