But even in the depths of these moments there is something within you that knows that

different is possible.

What your mind needs to know

When and where is INSPIRED taking place?
INSPIRED is an in-person experience taking place from Friday September 8th to Sunday September 10th, 2023 at the Merriweather Lakehouse Hotel in Columbia, MD (Wash.DC /Baltimore area)
What’s the Investment?

$1997 for a 3 day heart-filling, mind-expanding, gut-activating experience of stepping into your most creative, inspiring life. We use the word ‘experience’ on purpose. This is not a “sit-down-and-be-talked-at” event. This is an embodied exploration of embracing fun and purposeful play – to activate your imagination and infuse the energy of joy and inspiration into your life –  expertly curated and held by Helen and Matthew.

* The cost does not include your travel, accommodation or meals. We do have a block room reservation at the venue to save you money and for your convenience, details of how to book under this block reservation are sent after purchase.

Who is INSPIRED for?
The truth is your ‘job title’ doesn’t matter here, you can be a CEO, a C-suite professional, an artist, a stay-at-home mom or an entrepreneur, what matters is that you’re someone who wants to play with unlocking your creative flow and abilities;  and create and live your life in a  different way so that you can experience a more whole, sovereign, vibrant, fun and easeful life.
What will the outcome be?

It depends on you. Inspiration is the springboard for creativity, facilitates progress toward goals and increases well-being!

As long as you stay curious and are willing to try new things throughout the experience. We can never guarantee an outcome (and we think anyone who says they can should probably be given a wide berth!)

What we can say is that we are experts in creating shifts and curating transformational experiences is our genius, so if you stay open during our time together INSPIRED has the potential to expand your self awareness, unlock inspiration and creativity, shatter your resistance to creating from love versus fear, and dissolve the limitations in your mind that have been stopping you from having an Inspired Life and/or Business – in the most powerful, yet gentle and light hearted, way! (laughter and fun we can guarantee!)

Research studies have also shown that inspired people:

  • Are more open to new experiences
  • Are more focused
  • Have a strong drive 
  • Are more collaborative 
  • Are more internally motivated
  • Have higher levels of self esteem, optimism, creativity and belief in their own abilities.
Are play and creativity really that important?

YES!! Remember how you used to instinctually play as a child?  EVERY child instinctively plays! We come out of the womb knowing how to be curious, open, to try things out, experiment, to follow our desires and what attracts us. This isn’t a skill we’re given just for childhood – that’s society’s programming. We’ve been given it because we’re meant to use it FOR LIFE.  Play engages the IMAGINATION  – the part of the mind where ALL creation (creativity) flows from. We simply need to be reminded how to reactivate it and engage it in a way that activates the energy of inspiration within us.

But don’t just take our word for it…

In his article in the Harvard Business Review, Scott Barrey Kaufman wrote:

“In a culture obsessed with measuring talent and ability, we often overlook the important role of inspiration. Inspiration awakens us to new possibilities by allowing us to transcend our ordinary experiences and limitations.

Inspiration propels a person from apathy to possibility and transforms the way we perceive our own capabilities.

Inspiration may sometimes be overlooked because of its elusive nature. Its history of being treated as supernatural or divine has not helped the situation. But as recent research shows, inspiration can be activated, captured and manipulated, and it has a major effect on important life outcomes.”

AND…

Psychologists Todd M. Thrash and Andrew J. Elliott found that inspired people share certain characteristics:

  • They are more open to new experiences (and interestingly, they reported that openness to new experiences came before inspiration, suggesting that those who are more open to inspiration are more likely to experience it)
  • They are more focused
  • They have a strong drive to master their work, but are less competitive.
  • They are more internally motivated and less externally motivated.
  • They have higher levels of self esteem, optimism, creativity and belief in their own abilities.

They also found that inspiration is the springboard for creativity, facilitates progress toward goals and increases well-being!

Client Experiences

Client Experiences

My self confidence has soared! I step out boldly and powerfully. I am finally getting out of my own way! I speak up for myself and I advocate for myself. I set boundaries. I trust me and I love me.  I have been able to let go of limiting beliefs that previously stopped me from having what my heart desires and became aware of beliefs I didn’t even know were holding me back! I look at things differently and am learning to have more grace and compassion for myself and others instead of judgment. I have been able to release pain and hurt that had made me fearful of pursuing new experiences. 

– Nicole Shirley

Working with Helen and Matt helped me to cut through layers of past experiences and negative beliefs/traditions. I now fully accept MYSELF and know that my desires are justified and attainable.

– Tania Ward

I have literally spent thousands of dollars on books and programs through the years to try and help myself feel better. I have never had the results that I have gotten with Helen and Matthew. Their intuition and knowledge have far surpassed anyone I have ever encountered in my personal development journey. They have freely shared tools with me that allow me to continue making progress on my own. They live as they teach and when they bring something new to us, it’s because they have been doing the work themselves and have seen the impact.
