it's normal to get stuck in the creative mystery sometimes. (oK, a lot of the time)
it's natural to question things and try to "figure it out."
Whether it’s questioning what you should write about in the blog you are wanting to create, stopping yourself from sharing that bold thing you almost posted on Facebook, or just feeling like something has to be said or shifted but you’re not sure what, one thing’s for sure:
The answers are already inside of you.
I know, I know, not the response you were hoping for.
Wouldn’t you rather I told you there was a 5-step formula to figuring it out and that I have this exact formula that you can purchase today!?
Me either.
My solution is much more fun and real.
It’s called dancing it out of you.
It’s the art of letting your body speak, letting energy move through you, and then uncovering hidden truths in the process.
And that art will translate into clarity and authenticity in your life, if you really cultivate it.
It’s all about making sacred space so that you can connect to your truth and trust yourself enough to let movement - and answers - flow out of you.
But how do you do that?!
In the midst of working, living, and going about the regular duties of adulting or parenting, I know it can be difficult to make this time for yourself.
And not making the time is probably why you’re still not starting that blog, why you’re still procrastinating on signing up for those Flamenco classes, why you’re still not using your voice and spreading your message to its potential reach.
It’s time for a new approach.
Enter: Dance Into Your Answers, Winter Edition, the online interactive group guidance workshop designed to unleash the power in your body to get answers to the next steps in your creative life and beyond.
It's about creating the safe and sacred space you need to get in touch with what's true for you. (And one of my zones of genius is in helping you get there.) To let go of the inhibitions, worries, and mental patterns that have been keeping you stuck. To give yourself permission to experiment and feel free to be you and unlock the answers that are inside of you.
People have left workshops and sessions with me having newfound clarity about the direction they are going in their work, finally getting clarity on the first steps for their dream project, and much more.
"Working with Jess has been a gentle, loving nudge towards my creative self-expression. I love the group calls and the sisterhood, allowing my whole self to be seen & embraced. The questions Jess asks--easily understated perhaps in their simplicity-- allow for the material to be easily digestible and translated into transformation. Thanks, Jess! You're contagious in your steadfast enthusiasm while not foregoing the depth!
"Jess is an amazing guide. She understood all my fears about making a living dancing, about being accepted, about being creatively stagnant, about giving value to my passion, about navigating through changes in my relationships because of choosing to live from the heart. She has been through it and knew the exact words to say to keep me focused and creating as well as to be gentle with myself when I'm not feeling creative...to still be open to inspirations. She understood the cycles creative artists go through and lovingly guided me through it. I trusted her and valued her support and guidance. "
Oh, hi! I’m Jess Grippo. Almost forgot to introduce myself. If you’re on this page, you probably know me already or have been referred here by someone who does. In addition to maintaining my own weekly blog and newsletter for 4 years and counting, (every. single. week.) I was a copywriter for a major women’s health brand for 7 years as I built my own business. I've created my own dance show, was a finalist in New York's Got Talent, delivered a TEDx talk, run a coaching and teaching practice, and I also regularly create and share my art: mostly dance videos and written things on Facebook and Instagram. I believe in practicing the art of self-expression and I love getting to combine all of this experience into a really powerful and effective way to help others get their voices out there, too.
The video is conducted through Zoom, with a group of us all connected at once. And you will be encouraged to talk and share yourself through the process. That's how you're going to get the most from it. It will feel like you're here live with me.
FYI - This will be a SMALL group of people - mostly likely 25 or less - and everyone will be connected via video chat. You will have the opportunity for 1-1 support at some point if you desire it. This isn't one of those webinars that you tune into and take notes on - I WILL SEE YOU, TOO. Don't be scared. It will be fun and deeply transformative. It's having me as your personal coach and mentor for an hour. This is a really cheap way to do that. So just sign up already, ok? ;)
Yes, that’s totally ok! I personally will argue that everyone is a dancer, but we don’t have to get into that here. All you need is a desire and willingness to dance and move your body. You don’t need “training” or previous dance experience. There won’t be any fancy flip moves to learn, and I certainly won’t make you do anything you’re not comfortable with. The focus here is mostly on getting personal clarity and expressing yourself - dance and movement is one way we’ll get there.
Between you, me, and the internet, I’m currently in an experimental mode with my business and classes. I tend to do things when I’m inspired to do them. This is a beta launch, a test of sorts. So I don’t have another plan to do this again - but that’s not some technique to put you into scarcity mode so that you join now. It’s just the truth. If you’re feelin’ it now, then there’s no better time than now. Amiright?
