Big Big BIG Announcement about Art School 1 & 2!!!!

27th February 2013 by Kathy Wilkins under -- online classes, featured post

The GOOD NEWS about Art School 1:

Art School 1 is re-opened as a complete package for $99 (new students)…
Repeats from 2012 are just $25…
Access the online classroom through January 1, 2014!

And more GOOD NEWS about Art School 2-Wings:

Classroom access for Art School: WINGS is ALSO extended to January 1, 2014!

What this means to you:

This means you can take advantage of the INCREDIBLE amount of material in each of these fun artsy classes without worrying that you will run out of time.

AND you can easily take a ‘break’ to take another class like Soul Restoration at the same time without sacrificing focus so that you can get the very most out of every class you take.

Later this year, both of these jam-packed packages will be broken into individual classes with a combined value of over $499 EACH and offered as LifeArt A La Carte classes for those who want to pick and choose which modules they take. Access through the end of the year for the $99 package price is a phenomenal value! Just ask anyone who is taking one of these classes already!

Let’s get busy making art!

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

Important: Although these courses are called Art School 1 and 2, you do NOT have to take them in any particular order. They are stand-alone classes that you can do at your own pace and on your own schedule. If you have a thing for wings, go ahead and take it first! Your call.

Let’s have some artsy fun, friends!!

Soul Restoration begins TUESDAY…jump on board with us!

23rd February 2013 by Kathy Wilkins under -- online classes, featured post

…the original YOU is still in there

Dearest Brave Girls,

Our most popular online course, SOUL RESTORATION, begins next week. We only offer it twice a year, so please please please, if you are ready to heal from everything that is holding you back and move forward bravely into your beautiful future, come join us!

| Details & Registration | $99 ($25 for repeats)

It’s very hard for us to say enough about how strongly we feel about this class. What we know for SURE it that it has changed the lives of women just like you. So we thought we’d let some of those women tell you themselves what this class has done for them and why they recommend it to everyone they know:

In the getting messy art projects, my hands got busy while my head got quiet and I got a chance to really hear my own voice again. – K

I’m not sure I can put into words what Soul Restoration is doing for me. But since I don’t usually lack words, I’ll try anyway. I’ve never felt such release, such relief, such self-realization – and we’re only on Week 3. I’ve learned so much about myself – the good, the bad and the ugly… and it’s transforming my life into what my life had the potential of being. The tears, the smiles… the comradery of the other ladies in the course – the beauty of friendship… it has consumed me and I don’t even want to go to work – I want to stay home and work on my Soul…I can’t say enough about it. If you have the opportunity to do it – DO IT. Sandi

I would have to say this is easily one of the best classes I have ever taken. Ever. One of the ones I learned the most in and grew the most in. I am the kind of person who pays attention. I would say I am aware. I listen to myself. I watch and observe and try to learn and grow. And, still, I learned so very much about myself in this class, it’s almost impossible to explain how much. I had revelation after revelation. – K. G.

I am so excited about my life!! This class has been WONDERFUL!!! Finding Brave Girls is helping me create and live the life I never thought possible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! This workshop changed my life! I am more aware of who I am, of what makes me happy, sad, tired, frustrated, joyful, peace-filled…and I know what I can do about it now!! This is one class I would recommend to everyone!!! — L.A.

When I started the class I wasn’t aware that I was in need of restoring. Funny to write that…but its true. I was just hoping to create art! I was looking for a way to get inspired again. What I got out of this class is so much more than just creating art. I learned that there are things in my life that have made me strong and brave. There are things in my life that have made me vulnerable. There are things that I am so grateful for…and things that I never want to think about again. The curriculum in the class helps you to come to grips with all of it. To take each piece of your life and examine it. To find peace in yourself, to gather it and take it into your soul. Each lesson is a gift. It is hard work and some lessons come easier than others….but they all matter and they all work and they all make you whole. Melody’s approach is like sitting with a girlfriend. It’s comfortable…its funny. Each week comes with videos…and honestly they were my favorite part. Being able to have her in front of you helping you understand that weeks’ lesson was a gift. My journey in Soul Restoration allowed me to connect back to who I am deep down. You don’t have to be an artist! There is so much more going on than the art…the art is a vehicle for healing. Watch the videos of the lesson…watch the art technique videos and most of all enjoy the process….its so very worth it! – S

I have never been so impressed or moved or motivated by anything as by this class. I am not sure if it’s “the turning 50 thing” everyone talks about or if it’s just that I’ve reached a crossroad in my life where I NEED to make some changes, but this class is just amazing. If you are unhappy with your life (or you can use “discontent” if that makes you feel less guilty); if you feel that you want a “different” life for yourself; if as a woman you are feeling unfulfilled and that there is just “something missing” – take this class. Scrimp and save for the $99 if you have to. But take it. You will not regret it. – E

We hope these reviews will get you curious enough that you’ll go HERE to learn a little more about Soul Restoration and what taking part could mean to you.

In a nutshell you’ll watch fun, entertaining, and deeply effective videos (it’ll be as if you’re sitting right with Melody), you’ll make beautiful art to help you remember the things you are learning and committing to yourself, and you’ll be able to connect with other women who are on a similar journey. And you’ll do it all at any time that works best for you, at your own pace, and your own schedule.

Like so many other women, this may be the best thing you’ve done for yourself in a long, long time. We hope you will join us! We get started this Tuesday, February 26.

love,
melody and kathy

We are going to learn and play and get messy and make beautiful things with wings using so many of Melody’s personal tricks and techniques and ideas. You should see the Art Barn right now…tables covered with projects and samples and so much COLOR it looks like Dorothy stepping from Kansas into OZ…all the projects that Melody has created for this session of Art School.

|Details and Registration|

(Remember, this is the ONLY time this collection of NEW classes will be offered as a $99 bundle! After this session they will be broken up into individual modules with a combined value of $499. Even if you only did a couple of modules, this class would be a fantastic fun-filled value! You’ll have lots and lots of time with classroom access through June 1, 2013)

=======================================

It’s all about things with wings! Birdies, butterflies, and even YOU.

You’ll draw, doodle, paint, collage, stitch, embroider, make jewelry… and, most importantly of all, you’ll find out exactly what it means to you to USE YOUR WINGS. We’ll discuss, we’ll journal, and we’ll create beautiful works of art to serve as constant reminders that you have wings and you were meant to fly.

Melody Ross with Wings Sculpture -- Art Project from Art School: WIng Sessions

You’ll learn to made these amazing sculptured wings!

Melody and the video team have been working hard on this absolutely AWESOME class… and it’s finally time for it to start! As always, each of the 6 lessons are packed with brand-new techniques, fun projects to get you inspired, and simple questions to provoke soul-deep thought… because it’s never JUST about the art. We want your artwork to come from your soul, and we’ve designed the lessons to do just that.

In our previous session of Art School, we watched in awe as women from all over the world built real, lasting friendships with each other via the BG Art School group on Facebook. This session will have a group as well. So count on making wonderful new friends, and having a safe, inspiring, and supportive environment to share your art and get awesome new ideas. Brave Girls connecting is a beautiful thing to see… You all leave us so awed every day at how good you are to each other… we love every one of you.

One more thing – if you look at classes like this and think, “I wish I could do things like this… but I’m not an artist…” LISTEN UP! We have taught THOUSANDS of women, at Camp and in online classes,and we know that every single one of you is an artist, and has creativity inside them waiting to come out. You ARE an artist, and you absolutely CAN make beautiful art straight from your soul… art you will love and hold onto forever. We will show you!

Here’s what one brave girl said after taking art school:

“I am amazed at what I am capable of… and how fast I have learned new techniques. I thought a person was born with a gift, but now I believe we all have the gift locked inside. Brave Girls Art school has given me the key . It has brought me so much happiness to be part of such caring and encouraging group. I definitely feel blessed and look forward to learning more…”

Body Restoration has begun! Come see what it’s all about!!

3rd January 2013 by melody under -- online classes, BE A BRAVE GIRL, featured post

I am so very excited about this class!!!…and wanted to kinda urge you to really think about joining me in the classroom if you have the same kinds of destructive messages running through your mind that so many other women do….

I used to hear those messages in my head too.

Over the last few year, as I have been talking and talking and interviewing women about these issues…and doing a ton of studying….one thing keeps coming up that makes me want to gather every single woman I know to do this course, whatever it takes….that thing is this:

WE WASTE A TON OF OUR LIVES, MISS OUT ON A TON OF WONDERFUL EXPERIENCES, AND REFUSE TO DO A LOT OF THINGS WE REALLY WANT TO DO ….

…because we are too busy WORRYING, OBSESSING and PUNISHING OURSELVES OVER HOW WE LOOK.

After doing the SOUL RESTORATION courses and really getting in touch with what my heart is saying to me….I realized that there were so many things I wanted to do with my life…and there were just as many things that I wanted to STOP doing. I worked really hard on both of those things…and suddenly, my body started to cooperate with me too. I started to explore what that correlation was, and found some really wonderful ways to work through body shame and the belief that I had to punish myself with over-exercise and severe dieting if I wanted to have the body I wanted to have. Through journaling and art-journaling exercises…..I really found a way to make peace with my body….I learned to profoundly respect and love this flesh and blood that houses my soul….and through all of that (even though the peace is the best part) I have been able to fairly effortlessly maintain a healthy weight. I want to share all of this with you….but I mostly want to teach you what I learned about how important it is to live the life you want to live RIGHT NOW, not after you are a certain weight, or a certain size….or when your skin is clear or your hair is right……..I want us all to stop waiting to REALLY LIVE.

It is amazing how your body will start to cooperate with you when you are working hard to be happy in other areas of your life. Once you start to focus on other things, you will be shocked to realize how much of your life you have been wasting on feeling destructive things about yourself.

Please remember that this is not a fitness or diet program…this is a companion to your own health goals (even if your goals are as simple as deciding to walk every day and drink more water).

This is a program to get to the WHY of taking care of yourself. This is a program to help you recognize what you have been doing to punish yourself, and how you can start taking care of yourself instead. This is a program that will help you become joyful partners with your body instead of enemies.

I’m so excited to do this class with you……here’s a little video to tell you a little bit more about it.

Sending you all so much love…

xoxo

Disclaimer: Friends, there are literally hundreds of thousands of books published on health and countless programs and experts and philosophies out there. It is important to know that we have no special education, degrees, formal training, or expertise. We do not give advice. We simply share powerful ideas that have worked for us (and that have been applied with enormous success in our Soul Restoration classes) in using art and other creative and enjoyable means to slow down, tap into our own intuition and our own truth, and discover some of the thinking that is causing us to abuse our bodies. Our goal is to help each of us learn to honor our beautiful, miraculous bodies as the magnificent gift they are and to live a daily life that is joyfully, peacefully congruent with that knowledge. This program is in no way a substitute for professional treatment for any diagnosed or undiagnosed illness, disease, or disorder. Our lawyers would like us to say that you should consult a physician before embarking on any health-related program. xoxo

This amazing combination of courses, jam-packed with OVER 100 VIDEOS, was developed and taught in the way only Melody Ross and the Brave Girls team can provide… Once this session ends, these classes will be offered as separate modules with a combined value of $499!!

Melody’s style of teaching is FUN, it’s easy to follow, it’s comprehensive, and her style and creativity show in every minute of every video!

This is SUCH A HUGE BARGAIN and a perfect way to experience some of Melody’s favorite creative and unique techniques that she has personally developed over her career as an artist. Every single video is so well thought-out, so over the top amazing, and edited in detail so that there is NO wasted time.

“You are so generous with all you give to us in this class, I have been amazed at the richness. I look forward to making it all.” Deborah H.

“Oh my gosh, I am an artist! My husband can’t believe the Funky Flower canvas I made. It’s not like anything I have tried before, and I LOVE IT! I also love seeing what everyone is posting on the FaceBook group page and all the encouragement and support that is there.” – Sharona M., Toronto, Canada

Every minute of your time and effort is respected, so we take hours and hours of video footage and edit them down to make sure every minute is jam-packed full of value and detail and care and beauty and incredible ideas and techniques that YOU CAN do.

Melody and her team care SO MUCH about you having the very best experience possible with every module of this class. They put in hours and hours of detailed work to deliver far more than you would ever expect from an online art class.

“Best online art class EVER, hands down!!!!” Monica S, South Dakota

So many women have told us that with this class they have rediscovered their creativity, their artistic ‘mojo’, and the soul-deep JOY that comes from ART and simply PLAYING.

“In the past 2 years, I have taken five different online art classes. I have to tell you that Brave Girl Art School has raised the bar far beyond anything I have seen! There is more content in one week than some entire courses I have taken, and I love that Melody is fun and genuine and she puts so much into each of the videos. I never EVER imagined I would learn this much from an online class!! I am having more fun and making more beautiful art (and jewelry!) than I have in years.” – Sandy B., New Jersey

So, let’s ask this question again: When was the last time you created art just for the JOY of playing???

A little video about BODY RESTORATION online course + why I am so passionate about this class….

4th January 2012 by melody under -- doing difficult things, -- online classes, BE A BRAVE GIRL
