We’ve taken the most powerful elements from our own creative journeys, and weaved them into a program to cultivate the creative mindset. When creativity is dormant it may feel like there’s a lack of courage, motivation, or creative action. This is sometimes referred to as a creative block. Instead, we see this as creative stillness; a moment of gathering momentum. To unleash that momentum and use it toward creative action, we need to feel supported, capable, and worthy of taking creative risks. This is where our lifelong practices intersected. Sandy’s experience with teaching breathwork and Gianna’s with teaching art both aligned with a mutual passion for mindfulness to create our Align, Breathe, Create program.

In building the fundamentals of our method, we delved into the skills and practices that allowed us to launch and sustain our dream careers as entrepreneurs. We examined our greatest challenges, failures, and risks, and of course the wonderful triumphs we’ve had as women entrepreneurs and mothers. This self discovery process is the foundation of our unique recipe for resilience in overcoming creative obstacles and harnessing the creative mindset.

In 2021, we stepped into a quiet space in the redwood forests of northern California to launch our first program. After a long pause of pandemic lockdown, we stepped back into nature and spent time gathering momentum (and fallen leaves), hugging trees (and each other), and selecting sacred spaces across the globe, as we shared our nurturing method for unleashing the innate creativity each of us possesses. We offer Align, Breathe, Create workshops and retreats from the USA to Europe. In addition to art and breathwork, Align, Breathe, Create includes principles from neuroscience, mindfulness, and fine art. The intention of our program is to open minds and hearts, and lead you into true creative freedom in all aspects of life.
