ABOUTFACE is a workshop developed through the collaboration and combined experience of life coach Will Wiebe, and graphic artist/poet Mary Ruhl. We have developed this workshop for people who would like to take a creative leap forward in their lives. Our approach combines aspects of several personal growth practices we have enjoyed with skills we’ve developed in our professional lives.
Will brings his gifts for listening, coaching, and facilitating groups and individuals. Mary brings her years of practice switching between right and left brain ways of knowing and communicating through visual and written metaphor. Anyone can gain in self understanding from the ABOUTFACE experience, whether or not they feel like they are creative.
“It took me places I did not know I could go, … helped illuminate things I could not articulate.”
“Putting my thoughts in visual form takes the judgement out of my stuck situation”
“I wanted to become more free and fluid in my creativity… this was accomplished. I am trusting creative instincts more as well”
“There was something beneficial for me in every exercise”
We offer scheduled 2 day workshops at the Sellwood Art Academy, 7908 SE 13th Ave, in the charming Sellwood neighborhood of Portland, Oregon. Or, we can bring a custom workshop to your workplace, on a mutually arranged schedule.
