Oh, it’s you! How wonderful. Your timing is perfect. Come, put your feet up and relax – I want to share with you my garden, designed precisely for this crazy time.

As we navigate this post (?) pandemic world … do you feel the crazy? Do you feel the pull of the hamster wheel? (Come on! Do more! Do faster!) … yeah, me too.

I’ll tell you what: Let’s not.
Let us not hurry and cram and multitask and burn out, OK?

Let’s do it better. With friends. With ease. In a garden. In the SmashGarden.

Intentional creativity is a path to accessing the within –
the language of the heart.
~ Shiloh Sophia

Here, we put aside the “shoulds.” We come as we are. We come to seek wisdom and balance in a different way: with mind and heart and gut. In this easy garden self-care and serendipity play together in the grass; the Muse smiles as she rocks gently on the porch swing; and time slows down so your heart can safely tell you its great secrets. In the SmashGarden, we hold space for desire and metaphor to blurt out old truths and whisper exciting new dreams.

The secret of this garden is Cosmic Smash Booking. It is visual journaling, with a playful and deep twist. And it all starts with a simple notebook. Well, and with you. Especially with you.

Your Cosmic Smash Book will surprise you with wise insights. Insights on what really matters to you, where you want to go, and who you want to be. Welcome to the fragrant and healing world of Intentional Creativity with Cosmic Smash Booking.

Are you ready to make room for your own quiet voice of wisdom?

(I know, I know. I’ll bet you have half a dozen techniques to slow down, to pause and reflect. Heck, you probably teach this stuff. But do you do it?)

What if it was fun to slow down and tap into your inner wisdom? What if it adapted to fit your changing schedule? What if it nourished you, like chocolate and strawberries, like music, like cool spring water?

If you’re ready for a new personal practice that feels like play, come learn the basics of Cosmic Smash Booking with me.

You’ll quickly learn a personal practice that’s flexible and portable. A simple practice, but one that can remain fresh, and refreshing, for years. And it’s fun!

I look forward to showing you the basics. And after that, workshops and ongoing support as you explore your own personal practice. Maybe even a weekly drop-in, for us to Smash together, when you have time! (To know when events happen, sign up for my Love Notes newsletter).

But … so many words! How about some images? 😛 Here’s a peek inside my own Cosmic Smash Book:

“Smashbooking with Deb was truly an enlightening experience. Deb guided me through the process with such clarity and ease that I was astounded at what I was able to aesthetically produce and understanding about myself. Her understanding of medium and materials really complements her understanding of coaching and facilitating the growth of others (in this case, me!)“

Amanda Bell, PhD
Human-Centered Researcher – Inclusivity & Equity – Product Development

Missed the workshop? Can’t wait to start?

Use this cheatsheet to collect some simple art supplies to stimulate your creativity,

Then book a one-on-one SmashBooking session with coach Deborah Preuss, at no charge. I am just starting to add SmashBooking to my coaching practice, and this is good practice for me!

And now, the most important question … where are your crayons?

– Deb

“I went from desperately trying to be productive, to a place of being, of enjoying the process and listening to my inner wisdom again. I reconnected to the arts and applied them to my process in different ways, so much so that I’m now writing my first book!”
