Give your brain a break & reconnect with your Creativity!
In fact, it can sometimes be overwhelming and downright exhausting.
You know there are times that you’re pushing yourself past a healthy point just to get to where you think you should be, but you’re still feeling discouraged and burnt out.
- What if you could be kinder to your mind & body and take the time to recharge?
- What if recharging could be done while learning a creative skill you’ve been curious about and always wanted to try?
- What if learning fun, new skills could make you feel happy & accomplished, while also helping you focus & relieve stress?
- And what if you could turn around & use your newfound skills to not only reignite the passion for your creative work but to get special holiday projects done this season?
Well, sweet friend, you don’t have to wonder anymore. You can have all of these things, because I’ve got something to help.
The Creative Spark Summit: Digital Product Holiday Edition is all about taking a collective pause for some self care, all while learning fun, new skills that you can use to get all your Holiday projects done this year!
18+ experts over 3 days will teach you strategies you can use to learn fresh, creative skills that you can use to make wonderful Holiday projects this season all while helping you overcome burnout. Then turn that burnout around by applying what you learn and use it IN your business.
Burnt Out
Feeling burnt out by all the things you have to do, especially in & for your business
Worried
Worrying non-stop about your next product launch or the best strategy to “level up”
Bored
Just plain tired of feeling left behind & business feeling so hard
Overwhelmed
There is SO much you have to do just to run your business & it doesn’t stop there either, there’s also…life!
Exhausted
Completely exhausted & in desperate need of some clarity & rest
Whatever it is for you, it’s time to take a mental break and come join us in some creative play while getting a head start on fun, holiday projects at the same time.
Give your brain a break & reconnect with your Creativity!
Make you Happier
If you’ve heard of “flow” you’re familiar with that state where you’re absolutely absorbed by something that you completely lose track of time. This state reduces anxiety, boosts your mood, & can reduce your heart rate.
Give a Dopamine Rush
Repetitive creative motions can activate flow & are activities that produce an end result. When you succeed at creating something, that produces dopamine which makes you feel good!
Improve Mental Health
Creative activities can help focus the mind & have even been compared to meditation because of their effects on the brain & body.
Reduce Stress
Creativity has been shown to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress & can even boost your immune system.
Engaging in creative activities can have a powerful impact on your mental state, not to mention, being incredibly fun! Give your brain a break & reconnect with your creativity at the Creative Spark Summit!
In this round, use all those wonderful skills to work on projects that’ll get you ready for the holidays to further remove the stress this season can bring.
Give your brain a break & reconnect with your Creativity!
I’m Kimberly—a chaotic creative.
I’m from Escazú, Costa Rica and made my way to NYC to be an animator. While working for studios like Nick Jr., PBS Kids, Cartoon Network, & Disney on Broadway, I was also teaching myself all sorts of things like graphic, branding, & web design, illustration, lettering, pattern design, & so much more.
It’s because I’ve always had this creative thirst & my creativity to fall back on that I’ve been able to use it at times when I’ve felt particularly overwhelmed or exhausted in my business. It’s a source of energy and joy for me and I’d love to teach you creative skills so you have your own reservoir to regenerate.
I firmly believe we’re all creative creatures at heart, we just need to find that creative spark that lights us up! I’m excited to show you how during the Creative Spark Summit Digital Product Holiday Edition.
This edition is extra special because it’ll help get you excited for the holidays but also learn how to keep the overwhelm at bay by planning ahead, taking time for a break, and finding ways to incorporate holiday fun into your digital product creation!
The Creative Spark Summit: Digital Product Holiday Edition will run from September 13th – 15th with a variety of presentations to choose from each day.
I don’t know about you, but I prefer to leave my house as little as possible. That being said, you can tune into the summit from anywhere with Internet access & even in your pajamas.
Presentations will be around 25–45 minutes in length. They will be available for 24-hours to encourage you to stop waiting for the right time and take action along with hundreds of other creative business owners.
You’ll also have access to a private Facebook group for the summit where we’ll be partying it up before the summit starts and working together to learn amazing, new creative skills that we’ll use to help clear our minds and then put to work for our businesses.
As an attendee you’ll have the chance to win prizes based on engagement, BINGO, and giveaways. In fact, entries are being awarded right now in the Facebook group. Come on in and join the fun!
With so many amazing presentations going on each day, you might be wondering how you’re going to fit them all in. Well, you don’t have to! After registering, you can also upgrade to gain access to the SPARK PASS to get lifetime access to presentations as well as tons of bonuses from our speakers & contributors!
Give your brain a break & reconnect with your Creativity!
Finally, a summit for planner, sticker, printables, and all digital product creators where all you have to do is show up and HAVE FUN!
There’s so much overwhelm and burn out around running a business, especially a creative one. You constantly have to bring your creativity level up and it can get exhausting and draining fast. We need a way to recharge so we can continue to create and move toward making the impact we want to make.
What better way to do that than by giving our minds the break they so desperately deserve? In doing this, we end up learning a fun skill that we can eventually turn around and use later on in our business anyway. But this time, with a renewed sense of passion for what we do, since we’ve rested up and recharged and given our body and mind the space they need.
Every single presentation has been designed to teach you a fun skill that you’ll not only enjoy but will use to build on others. And, with our holiday theme, we’ll use all these skills to get a head start on all those holiday products and/or projects we always mean to get to but never do.
During the Creative Spark Summit: Digital Product Holiday Edition you’ll end up creating something amazing that you’ll be excited to share or maybe even gift during the holidays, all while take a break for self care. And that my friend, is an incredible feeling.
Now for the part you’ve been waiting for. Here are the amazing speakers you’ll hear from at the Creative Spark Summit.
