One of the best decisions I have made this year is to drive up to meet with you in Orlando, Florida. Meeting you was the feedback and kick needed.
It is a pleasure to work with you!!! As always!!!!
You are MUCH more fun, and prettier, in person, Alyson. Your smile is megawatt. Your energy is sky-to-outer-space-high. Contagious!
Thank you for arranging all of us to meet, too. Super tribe!!!!

You do, don’t you Dora? You’re still my record-holder with 4 of my workshops in 3 states. 🙂

No, it’s not atypical–or at any rate, you are not the only one…I was just thinking about this this morning as I listened to someone extolling the value of groups…I had been to one of her group events and felt very lonely indeed. It probably does depend on the group, where we ourselves are at, etc. Thanks for sharing the other, less popular (pun intended) perspective, Patricia!

Victoria,
Oh yes!! Angelina mentioned tribe and I responded how much I enjoyed the use of that word in particular.

My experiences with group events is apparently atypical. I have a very difficult time connecting in any meaningful way at most of these functions. Of course it is entirely possible the functions have not been the right ones. Not that they did not have enjoyable moments, but often I felt less like a participant and more like a freshman in a 1,000 student lecture.

Alyson,
It was an absolute delight meeting you and the other artists! I completely agree, the energy, insights and laughter was something you can only get in person! Someone (Robin?) mentioned that it felt great being with our tribe – even though most of us had only just met. Thank you for the incredible experience! I highly recommend it, to anyone who might be on the fence.
Victoria

I agree! There are places for both online and in-person workshops. I recently attended a 6 week online, and a 5 day in person workshops. The energy was great in person, but the learning online was valuable – so I believe both have a place in learning. Like you, our 5-day in person was an opportunity to form bonds, friendships and we had a blast!!! So glad you enjoyed your time in Florida!

Sounds fun, Alyson. I enjoyed your Estes Park workshop in 2009! I was just in my first show in Kansas City and I LOVED being with all the artists and all the possible collectors who came by my booth. It gave me the best high!
