ARTELLAGRAM 7-30-2011:
"In the Studio"
An Interview with Carrie Faden


(This interview is continued from the July 30, 2011 Artellagram… )



Artella: In your mind, how are creativity and spirituality related?

Carrie: In my thinking, creativity and spirituality can not be separate issues. That feeling of being plugged into the creative mind and energy is so ethereal that it seems to organically intertwine with my spiritual connection. When I'm truly in that space of nonlinear creativity is when I feel most connected to my creator. Its very hard for me to explain but I think most people, when they are lost in that creative space, can completely understand how these energies line up. To me creativity is the place where I give God permission to enter.

Artella: How is prosperity related to creativity and spirituality?

Carrie: I believe that by nature most people are creative spiritual beings. I think that prosperity is a byproduct of allowing ourselves to enter the stream of the creative mind and bring our own unique flavor of "being" down and into existence. If we are honoring ourselves as the creative spiritual beings that we truly are and finding ourselves and that flow of creative energy to be worthy, then prosperity naturally flows to us supporting our endeavors. We are all worthy amazing beings and once we value ourselves and allow this outflow of our true selves to enter the world then the universe naturally supports us by saying "Here is what you need, now we'll have more of YOU please!" So our creative, spiritual nature being SO abundant, naturally receives prosperity and abundance back in all kinds of forms. People, connections, products, classes, education...all start to show up as prosperity to support us in our true nature. The universe supports us because it needs us to bring our individual flavor to creation..

Artella: What kinds of people do you most enjoy working with? Who is your ideal client?

Carrie: My ideal client is open to new ideas, new thought patterns, open to trying new methods to see if it is a fit for them, excited, happy to be alive and naturally inquisitive. My ideal clients are generally filled with pure positive energy and ready to find the tools to gift that energy to the world. My ideal client is not afraid and through our work together we both then become more.

Artella: ARTbundance™ Coaching is based on nine ARTbundance™ Principles. Do you have a favorite Principle, or one that you really enjoy activating in other people? Which one, and why?

Carrie: I would have to say that my favorite principle is Vision. Although intuition runs a very, very close second! I am so filled with ideas for people that it can naturally entrain them to all kinds of ideas for their own unique vision and how they want to gift that to the world. I LOVE seeing clients get completely built up and energized over an idea and the vision of what could be. Vision helps me to help them believe in themselves and their gift. I think that Vision is what fuels the energy to build our dream lives. Its like the watering hole that we must keep coming back to in order to keep relaunching ourselves into the world. When we feel depleted its the vision that refuels us. So Vision is my favorite principle to share with clients. Intuition is the close second because it is what I use to form the bridge and gives me the insite as to what people need in that moment. Honestly~~ I LOVE ALL NINE!!!!

Artella: What does your future hold? What projects are you working on now?

Carrie: Just before answering this question I sat down to get all of my projects down on paper so I could organize my thoughts on my projects. Its very timely that I had this question presented to me this morning! I tend to have my hands in many things at once but my main pet project right now is 365 projects in 365 days on my blog. (www.thebohemiancouch.blogspot.com) This is BRAND new for me so I'm working out the kinks of how to get the projects completed and also get them up on the web and documented. There is a huge learning curve for me here because I would like the daily posts to also be content rich and help to teach people new methods of doing things or thinking outside of the box. I have 365 days to get it right! My other projects are, of course, my coaching business, working on putting together real time creativity workshops, and taking ongoing classes in mixed media art to hopefully bring to some upcoming workshops. I'm an information junky and I LOVE to pass on that information to people, so I am perpetually working on learning!
