Well this one has been quite a long time coming! It’s always exciting releasing a new creation into the wild, so I’m really delighted to be sharing today that Loosen Up, my latest course, is about to open!
Doors officially open for registration on June 1st, but first I’ll be giving away three places. Simply follow the {easy!} instructions further down and you’ll be in the draw!
Here’s a little peek into the course:
We’ll be looking at all sorts of ways to shake up any lingering habits of perfectionism or tightness, to express yourself more freely, and to have heaps of fun in the process.
Giveaway
To enter the giveaway, simply follow the instructions below. I’ve made it as easy as possible and hugely appreciate your help in spreading the word about the course.
If you’re not already signed up to receive emails about Loosen Up, you might like to sign up here, as there’ll be a little extra something coming via email for those who don’t win a place this time.
- Share this post wherever feels easiest and most appropriate for you. You could pin the image at the top to Pinterest, share it on Instagram {if you don’t want to use up your profile link, just send people to taraleaver.com/blog}, or simply send the link to a friend or two who you think may be interested.
- Come back here to let me know you’ve shared about it by leaving a comment under this post. No need to ‘prove’ it unless you want to – I trust you! :) Each share counts as an entry, so more shares means more chances of winning a place.
Bam. Done. Go about your day as usual!
I’ll be drawing three names at random on Thursday 31st May, which I’ll post both here and in an email, and registration will open on Friday 1st June.
Good luck! And thank you for helping me to spread the word. I’m so excited to bring you this course – it’s packed to the brim with approaches and techniques I’ve learned and use myself for loosening up your art and becoming ever more expressive and free.
Click the image to learn more about the course and sign up to receive an email alert when doors open on Friday!
