WHO THIS IS FOR 📌 You have one million ideas and no idea what to do with any of them

📌 You have some idea what to do with your ideas but do not know where to start

📌 It doesn’t feel like any of your ideas make any sense together and are all jumbled and you want them to make sense

📌 Thinking in shapes makes sense to you

📌 You love very fun not serious zoom room classes that are also filled to the brim with sincerity and light

📌 You are an artist and you are ready to up-level in your business

📌 Money and charging for your offerings is terrifying and you are ready to make the leap

You do not need to think you are an artist or writer or business person to take this class. Perhaps you just have a keen curiosity for inventing a one off art show or project. Want to sharpen your curatorial skills, be on IG less, make better connections with other people - there is no wrong reason to take class!

Possible containers to include in your shapes : poems, photographs, essays, podcast, newsletter, books, tv shows, YouTube channels, posters, website, pdfs, water bottles, a clothing line, quilts, and everything you can dream OF




THE MONEY TALK While this class is about the shape of the things we make we will also talk about SELLING THOSE THINGS - we will not hide from the exchange of commerce in this class.

We will see exactly how we will weave it in, and this includes hobbies and recreation unhooked from capitalism.





WOVEN INTO EACH WEEK

🌼 Every week we will drop in to our bodies in silence
🌼 We will check in using the chat
🌼 We will set intentions for the two hours
🌼 And we will wildly unlock the ability to CREATE THE SHAPES OF OUR OFFERINGS





WEEK ONE: 📄 INVENTING SHAPESIn week one we will explore all of the possible containers that our art and work can go in

  • Bumper sticker
  • Zine
  • Book
  • Poster
  • Mural
  • Series of paintings
  • Quilt
  • Song
  • Album
  • Music video
  • Short film
  • Feature length film
  • Newsletter
  • 1:1 Consulting / Client services
  • Podcast

I will teach you my ecosystem map for flowing between containers of my business and art practice : how newsletters inform books, how books inform classes, how classes inform quilts, how quilts inform art shows, how art shows inform newsletters, membership sites, paid subscription formats, and more

Through a series of journaling exercises we will name what we are and are not in our jobs as artists, writers, and creative practitioners

As a group we will brainstorm all of the different shapes our offerings can make and the difference between those shapes - The square of a 2 hour online course, the rectangle of a 4 week online course, the circle of a pdf resource guide




WEEK TWO: 🗞️ WITH GUEST TEACHER AMELIA HRUBY - MARKETING AS A CREATIVE PRACTICE
I am so excited that in this week of class we will have guest teacher Amelia Hruby, host of the Off The Grid Podcast and genius behind 100 Ways to Share Your Work Off Social Media.

This week we will look at how marketing can be REALLY FUN and all the ways your work informs your other work - and how to use those are tools for promotion.

We will get unstuck from the sticky bad feelings of self promotion We will get excited about sharing our offerings with the world because they will be the PERFECT SHAPES and the best things about you is you are a SHAPE SHIFTER.

We will talk about how to weave in the shapes of your offerings into your other offerings without sounding like an ass hole - what if it could even be … cool.

We will vision new ways for anti capitalist sharing, trading, and how we will talk about MONNNEYYYYYYYYY and how the more you make - THE MORE YOU CAN GIVE!





WEEK THREE: 🌀 WITH GUEST TEACHER JAMILA REDDY - PIVOTING WITH EASE
So excited to have my dear friend and Center Residency alum Jamila Reddy join us for week three - few people I know are able to pivot through work, life, joy, grief, teaching, writing, and living like Jamila - they are the perfect person to help us understand all the ways we can pivot between the shapes and containers we have created.

What happens when one of the jobs you have created for yourself sucks? What if you no longer want to take on 1:1 clients? What if you want to teach about the product you make and no longer sell that product? YOU TOTALLY CAN!

After over a decade as a working artist I am thrilled to bring all the tools for how my career has pivoted time and time again - from a BFA in Dance to owning my own Shop/Gallery/Artist Residency to a little online shop out of my attic bedroom in Oakland to writing books, more artist residencies, Patreon to Substack, and SO MUCH MORE THIS IS THE WEEK WHERE YOUR FAITH IN YOURSELF AND YOUR SHAPES BLOSSOMS BEYOND MEASURE

WHO IS TEACHING THIS CLASS?



Consider this before you sign up - when signing up you are consenting to taking a class with a tornado person - This class is taught by Cody Cook-Parrott, an artist and writer, who has been self employed and teaching online classes since 2017.

Cody is not a therapist, mental health professional, trauma informed facilitator, or anything else that would give them credentials for talking about the brain and how it figures out how to plan a day.

They are a hermit and a social person and many things and skilled at planning as a Gemini, Human Design Manifestor, Queer person, freak, and artist. They love to create fun and joyful containers for figuring out how to live in the world as an expert of nothing, a devotee to the mystery.

Many of the lessons in this class are borrowed by and inspired by healing with ADHD, 12 step rooms, spiritual practice, The Artist’s Way, and more

See terms and services for all online class here.

ENERGIES OF THE
ZOOM ROOM



Whether you are neurodivergent, ADHD, have a mood disorder, chronic pain, the list goes on - how much access we have to our relationship with overwhelm, distraction, and shutting down is dependent on many factors. It is important to remember I am facilitating as an artist, not as a therapist or someone trained within modalities of mental health.

What this means is you'll have to take what you like and leave the rest! Not everything will work for every person, this container will, however, empower you to have the information to mold and fit to your specific needs and desires.

It will also help you determine the difference between when you are just beating yourself up for not "doing something you said you would do - and shifting into a space of awe and devotion.

This part might activate you - that's good: may the pushing back guide you closer to yourself. See you there!





A final note on the energy of the Zoom room:

This could be a small group, it could be a huge group, your ex might be there or your old neighbor. The mystery of digital spaces will invite us into our beautiful boundaries. Honor your physical and emotional needs and shift them throughout sessions : camera on / camera off. Participate in the chat exercises or don't. Face your camera to show us a plant the whole time. This is your experience!

Many Blessings - Cody
