The film was a couple of hours of uber fromage, starring Kevin Costner - who, quite frankly, was never my favourite actor - but the message of Field of Dreams has always stuck with me, and many others too: if you build it, they will come. For the last couple of weeks that is exactly what I've been doing, building a website and blog to house my dream...
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Unravelling: Ways of Seeing My Self - the e-course!
The course starts on Monday 16th February and will run for eight weeks, and I have to say I truly believe in this course and am really excited to share it with the world. For me this will also be another exercise in visibility, as I'll be posting weekly video posts to the course blog, so if nothing else, you'll get to see me in my natural habitat! As anyone who knows me will tell you, this is not something I would normally feel comfortable doing, but in the spirit of the course it feels like the right thing to do - as the course participants* unravel themselves, so will I. We're doing this together... Who wants to join me?
* The first 10 people who sign up for the course will receive a special 5x5 polaroid print from my Etsy store, as a thank you for joining me in my field of dreams :)











I'm in, please! Looking forward to it...

I've just signed up and I'm really excited!
I'll be out of town and offline when the first assignment comes through, but that's alright isn't it, if I'm a week behind?

Susannah -- what is the cost for this workshop, please?
Posted by: Toni Brown | Jan 29, 2009 at 03:48 PM
Never mind, I found it ... I will wait and hope for future workshops, as this is out of my budget for now.

This year will be all about daring those things I only have been dreaming of. And I think I really should finally meet myself.
Thank you for this opportunity!

Yay! I'm soooooo proud of you and happy for all these lucky people who get to do this course with you. I'm all taken up with writing my book at the moment, but I'll keep my out for future course. It looks like you have a good sign up already though!!! How fantastic. xxx

This idea is completely new to me but captured my attention from the moment I read about it on decor8.
Once again, congratulations:)

YIPPEE!! YAY for YOU! What an AMAZING thing you are doing!!!! I am so proud of you!! I almost wrote "I can't wait to see what develops" and then realized that would be cheesy... but then I wrote it anyway - HA!!

I wish you the best of look, I checked the course out and it looks like so much fun! I wish I could join right now, and plunge in, but I need to put my focus elsewhere. Oh I wish... there would be more time!

Your site is lovely, Sus! And just having more time with you and your inspiring spirit will be a treat in itself! xo

I just have to comment because "If you build it, they will come" has been my personal mantra for the past year or so. And it has been popping up again everywhere recently (I just love synchronicty!) Anyway it has been my mantra due to lack of a love in my life (recent divorce) as well as a void in terms of close female friendships, in particular "creative" females. With a major lack of identity I knew that I had to rebuild myself first before I could attract any of these people into my life. I am starting to see the fruits of my efforts (in friendships anyway) and it will all come in good time. That's why being "visible" is key this year. I am becoming visible to myself and want to share that so "they will come". I think I finally just figured out how what I want to write about my word for the year... sorry for the rambling here ;)
