How do you “follow your heart” to make a living? Do you struggle with the idea of advertising and marketing yourself as a maker? Do you long to sell your unique product or creative service but are afraid of feeling spammy and overbearing?

Join local maker, artist, and teacher, Angie Follensbee-Hall for this two hour workshop designed to help you align your products and services with your ethics and values. In this focused session, you will:

• Understand how your unconscious ideas, fears, and experiences around money are getting in your way
• Get clear about your sense of service and mission as you conduct your business like a spiritual practice
• Take essential action steps to move your making from a hobby to a profession

Selling yourself as a maker doesn’t have to mean sacrificing your ideals and beliefs. You don’t have to lose yourself in the harmful paradigms of competition, perfection, or infinite growth. When you align your values with your service, you create ripe conditions for your business and your community to thrive.
