Certified Positive Psychology Coach Kim Childs will present two intensive workshops in Arlington this fall to help people cultivate more happiness and creative expression in their lives. The first, based on The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity, is for anyone who wants to live more fully expressed, whether or not they consider themselves artistic.

 “The Artist’s Way recognizes the creative spark in everyone, whether we long to paint, write, make music, design websites or start a small business,” says Childs. “The course is for reclaiming passions, overcoming our resistance and procrastination, and getting into action.” Childs presents an Intro to The Artist’s Way from 2:30 to 4 p.m., September 6, at The Arlington Center.

Childs’ second fall offering, Happy from the Inside Out, is a group coaching program based on research and resources from the growing field of Positive Psychology. “Happiness is a conscious choice and a real practice,” she says. “This nine-week program covers the habits of mind and lifestyle that help us to become happier, no matter what our circumstances are.”

Both courses begin in September in Arlington, and details are found at KimChilds.com/calendar.

Cost: $18. For more information, call 617-640-3813 or visit KimChilds.com.
