“CULTIVATE CREATIVITY: Expressing Your Full Brilliance”

Welcome sister to our Monthly Full Moon Virtual Gathering!

Many women lost sight of their brilliance, being told that their voice wasn’t pretty enough or their drawing not good enough. It was better to become a doctor than an actress. Being an artist won’t make any money.

Many women feel shut down in their creativity even though the world aches for more beauty, more art, more women who are alive, vibrant and free.

Have you been dimming your light?

Did you give up your art?

Have you been shut down in your self-expression?

Was it not safe for you to be shiny and brilliant?

If you are ready to reawaken your inner artist and unleash your creativity in the world, this gathering is for you.

This month, Sistership Circle has invited four special feminine leaders who have stepped into their creative power to get raw and real about overcoming their fears to express their art.

Each of them will guide you through a short activation ritual or inspire you with their art so that you leave feeling empowered to express your full brilliance in the world.

Featured Guests sharing their stories and their artistry:

ayo-awosikaOften described as a “songstress”, Ayo Awosika is much more than just a woman who sings and writes songs. With diverse training that spans from the classical to the jazz realm, she has happily lived in both of these worlds and now covers all of the landscape in between. Ayo moved to New York City in 2013 after living out west for several years, a time spent reflecting on and writing about the experience of transitioning into what she calls “true adulthood”. The result of that is her first full length album, produced by Grammy winner, Scott Jacoby, and featuring members of Snarky Puppy and the David Grisman Quintet. It is slated to be released in the spring of 2016.
