Weightless - a lightness that comes from being mentally, emotionally and physically unburdened.

Creativity – the process of asking questions, exploring, using your imagination, in order to shift perspective and to see more clearly.

Creativity is generated from the right side of the brain, which controls perception, intuition, sensuality and the ability to be in the present moment. According to Jill Bolte Taylor, PhD (neuroscientist and author of My Stroke of Insight), it is through the right side of our brains that we are able to connect to a universal sense of energy or spirituality.

A Note from Tzabia, (Weightless Creativity Creator/Coach)

I lost weight over twenty years ago when I took up photography, writing, and free dancing. Since then I have coached hundreds of people in weight loss in the areas of mind, emotion, soul, food, movement and rest. What I have discovered is that the more open my clients were to creativity, the more successful they were at transforming their relationship with food and their body.

Weightless Creativity brings together the best of my weight loss coaching with the brilliance of eight teachers of various art forms, such as painting, singing, theatre/clowning, life drawing, bellydance, creative writing, textile art, collage and printmaking.

Benefits of Weightless Creativity

• Discover your deepest inspirations for losing weight and how you will use them to keep yourself motivated.
• Learn how to recognize your hunger and what you are really hungry for.
• Find out when and how you need to eat to build steady energy throughout the day and to reduce cravings.
• Discover the ‘gap' that will break the cycle of automated eating.
• Learn how to navigate the emotions that are driving you to eat and how to use them instead of them using you.
• Develop a more trusting relationship with your body, using it to guide you, instead of being in conflict with it.
• Recognize the beliefs that are driving your thoughts and actions and learn how to shift them.
• Establish more joy and creativity in all the aspects of your life.
• Discover the soul lessons that are holding you back from change.

Why Join This Group?

Think about how long you have struggled in your relationship with food, your body and your self. If you continue to do what you have done, how likely is it that anything will change?

There is a power in making commitments publicly. If you need accountability and support to make big change, you are not alone. Most people do.

There is a shift in awareness that happens when you are being coached toward specific goals. It is even more powerful when you are working with others who share similar goals.

You will share in the experiences of others. This will enhance your understanding of the tools and practices that you will be learning.

You will have the support of the coach, the creativity teachers, the group and one or more buddies that you speak with in between group sessions.

It is more fun and meaningful than your standard weight loss program. If you enjoy your process more and feel more purpose in doing it, you are more likely to stick with it.

Here is what you get:

• Two full Saturday sessions, from 9 to 6, which includes training, coaching, movement and an art session (of your choice).
• Once per week, for 12 consecutive weeks, 60 minute live sessions with the coach and the group. Coaching will happen on the phone via teleconferencing. You will have a choice of at least 3 different times to be coached.
• One 1 ½ - 2 hour group class per week with the teacher of your chosen art form.
• Ongoing support from your small buddy group
• Ongoing email support from the coach
• Practices and inquiry each week to keep you moving forward. Your new discoveries will be put into writing to keep you accountable to the coach and/or your group members
• Written materials each week to help you clarify and focus
• A non-judgmental, safe and caring environment to learn, share and transform
• A final day of celebration from 10 to 4.
