Holly Riggs is a thriving creative person in Orlando, a wonderful accomplishment all by itself.
However, she cannot tell you how many people have uttered these words to her, "I wish I could do that."
Whether its about writing poetry, performing, Drawing, making jewelry, her response is always the same: "YOU CAN" She generally gets a half smile and nod and that's the end of it. It has not been enough for her to believe it; those people with unrealized creative dreams have to believe in themselves.
Holly says, "Even people with creative careers get creatively blocked. So I did something about it. I created an interactive learning outlet for everyone who as ever dreamed of doing that one creative thing, OR people who just need a little boost creatively. I have a very special workshop coming up which includes writing, intuitive drawing, breathing techniques, and more. I would like to invite you and all your friends to join us. Only one catch: there are 12 spots available and once I meet that quota, we will have to schedule for a later date. So get back to me asap, and we will get started on making creative dreams your reality."

When: Saturday, Oct. 17 11am-5pm

What's included: Lunch, Workbook, and 6 hours that are all about YOU

Holly Riggs
