IGNITE



IGNITE is SOLD OUT!! 


IGNITE is a ten month, highly intensive FEARLESS® Painting Teacher Training program designed to empower, transform, and IGNITE YOUR creative spirit, YOUR Artistic voice, and YOUR innate qualities and strengths as a teacher.

IGNITE is NOT a certification program.

You will NOT learn a formula or prescribed structure on how to teach FEARLESS® Painting.

Instead, IGNITE uses the FEARLESS® Painting Process as a vehicle to reveal your true mission as a teacher, to strengthen your confidence and voice as a leader, and to guide you on your own unique path to empowering, transforming, and igniting others‘ creative truths as well.

IGNITE will prepare you for all aspects of powerful teaching--from the mechanics of creating a successful lesson/workshop/retreat, to effective methods of teaching both in person and online, to building strong professional relationships and community, to learning the necessary essentials of making creative teaching your business.

The emphasis in IGNITE is placed on deepening and trusting one’s own innate wisdom and connection to Creative Source through theFEARLESS® Painting Process. This is how I teach. This is how I IGNITE others and have built my own self-sustaining, thriving business. In IGNITE I share everything I know and have learned from my 15+ years of professionally teaching Art, my deep, lifetime devotion to creating Art as a spiritual practice, and my years of being a creative entrepreneur.

Plus the best part of IGNITE is that you don’t have to make this journey alone! IGNITE is opened to 10 amazing women eager to radiate their own unique creative gifts and step fully into their intended role as a teacher/leader/healer. No matter if your creative interest or background is in the visual arts, music, dance, writing, the healing arts, or life coaching, IGNITE will empower you to voice your love and passion fearlessly and effectively to others.

But, IGNITE requires a deep commitment, dedication to doing your best, and a willingness to trust yourself as well as the process it takes to becoming a teacher that empowers, transforms, and IGNITEs others. Experience in FEARLESS® Painting is not required, but a sincere desire to better your life and the lives of others through creativity and true spiritual transformation is.

Only those amazing women who have a deep desire to empower, transform and IGNITE not only their own creative spirits but the creative spirit of all women need apply.

Let’s IGNITE the world together!

COMMON QUESTIONS


WHAT IS THE FEARLESS® PAINTING PROCESS AND DO I NEED EXPERIENCE AT IT TO REGISTER FOR IGNITE?

The FEARLESS® Painting Process is an intuitive painting process developed by Connie Hozvicka intended to deepen one's connection with Creative Source, ruthlessly trust in one's innate wisdom, and grow confidant as an Artist and/or creative soul.  To learn more about the FEARLESS® Painting Process you can go HERE.  You do not need experience at the FEARLESS® Painting Process to register for IGNITE, but I highly suggest you become acquainted with the basic philosophy before IGNITE starts October 1st.  You can do so by taking my free online course Total Alignment or the first of my FEARLESS® Painting Adventuers: BIG.  


DO I NEED TO BE A VISUAL ARTIST TO FULLY BENEFIT OR PARTICIPATE IN IGNITE?

No!  Not at all!  IGNITE is open to all those who have an interest or background in the Visual Arts,  Music, Dance, Writing, the Healing Arts, and Life Coaching.  What is needed to fully benefit from IGNITE is a desire to help empower, transform, and IGNITE others through your passions and innate strengths.  


WHEN IS THE DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATION?

IGNITE is only opened to 10 amazing women.  Once these spaces are filled registration will close.  My FEARLESS® Painting retreat and workshops have been known to sell out quickly.


WHEN WILL YOU OFFER IGNITE AGAIN?

IGNITE will be offered again in October 2013.  


WHAT IS THE TIME AND ENERGY INVESTMENT OF IGNITE?

My purpose behind IGNITE is to create professional teachers ready to empower, transform, and IGNITE their students, whom also leave IGNITE with a  foundation and confidence to begin to make teaching their life's work.  Your time and energy investment in IGNITE will include 36 two hour live teleconferences, a 6 day in-person Intensive in Sedona, Arizona, and all assigned projects,  assignments, tests, and reading along with keeping a consistent   FEARLESS® Painting Practice and personal journaling.
