On today’s podcast, Lisa and producer Shawn are talking with a new Lucky Star instructor, Monica Grant.  Monica is a Creative Process Designer and Facilitator with Ideas To Go (ITG), a leading innovation consulting practice that works with companies across all types of industries.  Her day job is her dream job, in which she does project work to help teams clarify their challenges, generate lots of possibilities for how to solve them, and prioritize the ideas they’re the most excited about.  (She also loves that scribbling on easel charts is a big part of her job.). Monica has been coming to Lucky Star for years, but this is her first year as an instructor.  She can’t wait to teach Creative Problem Solving & Brainstorming to her fellow campers! 

Monica lives in Dallas with her husband, their 7-year-old daughter, and a population of cacti.  In her free time, she likes to invent new recipes, make checklists, take trips to National Parks, and watch Formula 1.

Lucky Star Classes:  Creative Problem Solving & Brainstorming

***********************************************************************************

Lucky Star is a women’s art and whole living sleepaway camp that takes place each fall in the Texas hill country. This is no art retreat in a hotel conference room…and no, we’re not camping in tents… we’re actually “glamping” in climate controlled cabins that are built into the hillside overlooking the Guadalupe River, and we’re eating gourmet, chef-prepared food in a dining hall like we’re at Hogwarts!  We’re fully immersed in creative workshops like jewelry making, astrology, mixed media collage, apothecary, abstract painting, writing, sewing, yoga, welding, pottery, and we’ve even had classes on raising alpacas and tomahawk throwing!  No dishes, no laundry, no driving kids, and no deadlines or demanding bosses.  Just a solid five days to be YOU because we believe in the importance of discovering/reigniting the authentic part of you that makes you feel ALIVE and we know that CREATIVITY can be a powerful catalyst for growth, healing, self-care, connection, and just the spark you need to thrive. 

When we’re not at camp learning, laughing, making, and singing by the campfire, we’re a thriving creative community of supportive women known as the Lucky Star Galaxy and we’d love for you to join us!
