Dust Off Sessions Creativity Weekend

The $55 Story
Last June I was able to go to New York to attend a creativity workshop. The instructors had great resumes, the city was amazing and I thought all this would lead to an amazing creative week.
The conference was 3 hours per day for 4 days. It cost $850 to attend. The hotel was $400 a night. New York City was amazing, but the conference was a huge disappointment.

It should have cost $55. I came away from the 12 hour workshop with two new ideas. One of those was a $5 idea, the other was pretty big and is worth about 50 bucks to me.

I met great people and spent an incredible week with my wife and our six month old baby. I had just had knee surgery, so we are hiking around NYC with me on crutches and my wife with a baby and stroller. It was a trip I'd do again under the same conditions in a heartbeat.

This weekend workshop will deliver 10 hours and 45 minutes of creative ideas, motivation and inspiration for the $55 I should have paid in NYC. I have great guest speakers coming who will share their insights and experiences with you.

JOIN ME JANUARY 18-20 for a weekend of investigating creativity and finding our creative core. Uncover your most fulfilling 12 months in 2013! We will dust off old projects and renew interest in forgotten ambitions. Come partner with us to complete that children's book, painting, song or the product design that have been sitting on the shelf or in the drawer. Use this time to rejuvenate and find meaning for the new year!

Forgotten Technology

In the age of re-purposing and up-cycling, what forgotten technologies are there that could be re-imagined for today's use? There's sure to be a mass of forgotten inventions, innovations and discoveries that could be used today. Someone somewhere long ago built a trinket, a device, a contraption that could have value today in a new arena that was not even around when it was first created. Where are these forgotten technologies? How can they be dusted off and what can they be used for?
