You’ve just arrived where much begins!
No specific talent or experience needed, except an open mind and an open heart.
Here's where you come to create something new for yourself right NOW.

- learn what to do if your creativity is stifled or “blocked”
- experience the joy of reclaiming creative play
- become clear on how to make time on your schedule for your creative projects

Leslie adds, “Funny enough, I was positively certain that I wasn’t an artist, yet I benefited from the suggestions, wisdom, and using the exercises in these books I discovered creative outlets for my own ideas even though not traditionally considered ‘art’. Today I celebrate my version of a creative, well–lived life and have completed the facilitator’s training to support you. Come; let’s play the artist's way!”
Forgiveness...Why, how, when
Creative U–Turns, Blocks, Past Hurts?
Although some things are beyond your control, you do have the power to enhance your life by making the choice to forgive. Forgiving is a sure way to leave the past in the past, freeing you to move to your next creative calling with ease. Old grudges and resentments can be easily replaced with joy and peace when you are ready to say ‘yes’ to this process. It’ s a way to clear the path for your creativity to emerge newly.
Life Coach, Leslie Gebhart offers this process to those who have completed the book study of The Artist’s Way. During discussion of creative U-turns, the topic of forgiveness often arises when reviewing blocks and past hurts. This process is a logical next step after finishing the book study. You are never asked to share or reveal personal details. Allowing Blocks and Creative U–turns to point the way. The ABC's re–framed. Yes, forgiveness is as basic as the ABC's.
- Do you notice that there’ s an element of ‘blame’ lingering in your thoughts?
- Do you experience a negative body response when you think of something or someone in your past?
- Are you ready to turn your attention away from the drama and old stories and focus on your emerging creativity & new dreams?
- Would you like to experience more ease?
- Would you rather continue to complain or are you ready to turn your creative energy toward the possibilities?
- Is it time to clear the toxin of unforgiveness?
- Two options: telephone for private appointment information or group in Palm Springs. In this group, a one time meeting in person, you’ll find support, connection & the vibration of ‘all is well’. . . .
- Please allow 3 hours to assure relaxed schedule.
- To indicate your interest in a private phone appointment or group gathering, please call: 760.218.8865 or use Contact Leslie. Please put forgiveness in the comments section.
- Groups are on–going; please email coach@lesliegebhart.com for next event info.
