Pure workshops: Attract abundance in 2022
7 steps to kickstart your art-based business and attract abundance with ease and grace in 2022
Many of us have grown up in the belief that achieving success requires relentless hard work, grim determination, and intense ambition. Consequently, many of us have also struggled at times to reach our goals and when we have, we have wound up feeling exhausted, burnt out and with our lives completely out of balance.
In the natural world, creation comes forth with ease. A seed doesn’t struggle to become a plant―with the right conditions it simply unfolds with ease and grace… Water flows easily from its source….
Are you an ambitious and motivated artist who desires growth and success to flow with ease and grace in 2022?
If you are, you need to incorporate the laws of abundance and spiritual laws of success into your everyday life; thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
In this attracting abundance workshop, Pure Founder Lesley Samms will guide you through the 7 steps you need to action in order to kickstart your art-based business and attract abundance with ease and grace in 2022.
This workshop will take place on zoom and will be recorded.
All registered participants will receive a free workbook and are invited to book a FREE 30 minute strategy session. See booking link below.
