Workshop taught by Dr. Zan E. Nix
Living Creatively
With the help of artists, psychologists, theologians, naturalists and children we look at our own lives as each being a "work of art in progress". We explore the key elements of a creative life and how our deepest values, strongest desires, and innate talents serve as it's foundation. We also look at the obstacles we can encounter in living creatively, how to overcome them, and the impact we have on the world when we are being voluptuously creative in our own unique ways!

Playful Living
Anthropologists have found "galumphing" to be one of the prime talents that characterizes higher life forms. "Galumphing" is the rambunctious and seemingly inexhaustible play-energy apparent in puppies, kittens, children and baby baboons. With the help of children, performing artists, spiritualists, poets, animals and youthful individuals of all ages, this class will explore how maintaining a spirit of play in our lives regenerates our energy levels, keeps us consciously evolving and adds voluptuous joy to our lives and relationships.

Women and the Wild
This workshop explores the spiritual relationship women have with the natural world and how spending time in nature informs our physical, psychological, and emotional well being. With the help of psychologists, naturalists, poets, artists, theologians, philosophers and participants' own life experiences, we will explore the various ways nature and animals communicate with us through energy, reflection, and beauty. We will look at how adventures in the wild and encounters with other sentient creatures may serve as a wellspring of inspiration, renewal, and meaning in life.

Women and Passion
We are inspired greatly and directed wisely by our own authentic passion. Through poetry, music, stories and visual portraits of passionate women in action, and participants' own life experiences, this 2 day Women's Studies Course will explore the "fire of passion" and how keeping a strong connection to that fire within positively affects our relationships, work life, health, spirituality, creativity and a deeper sense of meaning. This class will also look at the important regenerative role passion plays in our lives during times of loss and transition.
Sex and Spirituality

"Zan encouraged us to share personal experiences and develop spiritual thinking. She was very enthusiastic and understanding, and I would love to take a class with her again."
