Be A Fearless Creator
This workshop will take you through the six stages of the creative process and explain what blocks us at each stage. Understanding these steps and the difficulty you might have with each step can be ground-breaking for any kind of artist at any level. For example, you’ll learn how a later stage might actually be causing a block in an earlier phase.
But why be part of a group that is led by a live facilitator, rather than just read some books? The reason is that by talking about the steps, the facilitator can get an understanding of your struggles. Together we can begin to unravel the creative process according to your own personal blocks, while also learning how someone else in the group is resolving her/his own blocks.
You must know that every artist has experienced a block of some kind. But who are the people who blast through it? We’re interested in dissecting the creative process to see what hinders each person individually. In the workshop, we’ll find some commonality and get a bigger picture of the creative process, while building a community of “creativity explorers” at the same time!
This workshop is for anyone who wants to explore creativity, to get a bigger picture of something that can make life richer and more rewarding. This is workshop is for everyone willing to explore the creative life at any level at any level.
“[The workshop] offered by Shaqe Kalaj was exactly what I needed. I had been a blocked artist for many years and this was a real jolt to my creativity and motivation.”
--Kate, a public school art teacher

-- it’s personalized for you!
Schedule to be agreed on for coaching via in-person, email, phone, Skype or some combination
price packages available (please inquire)
Do you feel a little stuck creatively? Are you an amateur or seasoned artist who is experiencing some kind of hindrance -- physically, mentally or emotionally? Are you working on a specific project and hitting some blocks? Are you having difficulty knowing where you’re going? Are you dealing with existential issues about whether there’s any value in creating? Have you rationalized why you are not creating? Or are you looking for better approaches to sustain or activate your creativity? If “yes” to any of these, then a one-on-one coaching session can facilitate change.
Working with a private coach can propell you or it can jump-start your creative life and make life more meaningful and exciting. It can solve problems that might take years to figure out on your own. Shaqe is a problem-solver and has aided artists and non-practicing artists to reach higher levels. She has also helped non-artists jump-start their career into an exciting world of art: By entering the creative process, we not only enrich ourselves through the act of creating but we find a meaningful existence that flourishes in every aspect of life.
Creative coaching works for all forms of artists: musicians, dancers, painters, sculptors, writers -- and for other areas of life where creativity is necessary. Coaching for established artists aids in building more connections to higher productivity and meaning. It is also helpful for people who just don’t know what creative act they want to do, but feel that there’s a missing element in their lives.
“As a Creativity Coach I support the enhancement of a sustainable creative lifestyle. I believe art to be transformative. My intense background as an artist and a teacher, along with my empathetic skills can aid you at whatever point to engage your potential or develop skills and tools to manage your creativity. My approach as a coach is based on building the imaginative intelligence and finding your individual strengths. My specialty is in the creative process and visualziation and imagination.” -- Shaqe (to discuss coaching with her, call her private number at 734-634-8117)
“Studying with Shaqe was one of the most memorable events of my life. Shaqe opened up a whole new world of creativity within me, and I will be exploring it the rest of my life!”
--LeeAnn, a musician from Ohio
