Heart + Soul Workshops with Marian Mellen | POSITIVE THINKING

**Information about a Blogger Exclusive workshop is at the bottom of the blog post**

On Saturday, January 28th, I had the opportunity to join Marian Mellen of The Zen Bird at her first Heart + Soul Workshop of 2017. Kicking off the new year of woman empowerment workshops was Positive Thinking. This workshop was centered around how one thinks, manifesting positivity, creating goals and making a vision board for the new year.

I met Marian about a year and a half ago at the Pineapple Triangle markert called AZ Share That You Care (blog post here.) She runs two core businesses. One being The Zen Bird, which is where she sells handmade headbands, and the second is through her personal brand, Marian Mellen, as a life coach. Her services include one-on-one coaching, speaking engagements and participatory workshops. 

Without giving too much away, Saturday’s workshop took place upstairs in a private room at DeSoto Market. Marian offers a light brunch for all attendees; it was a delicious avocado toast with a hard boiled egg on top from Tea & Toast. Since this was my first workshop, I’m not sure how it differs from topic to topic, but we started by sharing a little about ourselves, which was a great way to open up and get real about why we were each there and what we were looking to get out of our two hours together as a group. Marian leads us into a grounding breathing exercise and helps us to visualize attainable goals. She shares a story about her personal journey with us and provides us with the Heart + Soul curriculum that is specific to this topic. She explained that this particular workshop isn’t as deep as some of the others and it’s the only workshop that offers crafting, which I loved! We made vision boards to represent our goals for the next year. My board has a strong focus on nature, to keep me calm and grounded, but also outlines my goals around fashion by imagery and by using key words. It is now on my desk and near me everytime I’m creating something for The Foxy Kat. 

If you’re interested in taking a look internally to create an authentic, meaningful life, I highly urge you to peek at the workshop line up and pick a topic that will help you find fulfillment. Through radical self love and personal discovery, Marian Mellen has the tools to guide you through personal transformation.
