“It’s unfortunate that many people have become cut off from their natural creativity by the belief that it’s something reserved for people engaged in the fine arts. ...Like everyone, you have to rely on creativity in all sorts of circumstances in order to be resilient. If you deepened your creativity, what a valuable resource it would be in a time of crisis and uncertainty.”

WHAT TO EXPECT |

This is a course where we will be using bricks in creative, artful, playful ways to have a soulful, magical experience.
I'm sharing with you the lessons I learned about building creativity from my year of making creations out of bricks everyday.
It doesn't matter if you've never played with bricks, love them and are a master builder, consider yourself an artist, or don't believe you are creative but are trying to bring back some child-like fun in your life, this course is for you!

A building video for each lesson where you actually see me doing an example build, great to watch while you are building as they are full of music, fun, and inspiration.

Tons of inspirational photos and quotes and lots of examples pictures.
Space to comment or post pictures in the course platform.

KIND WORDS
"I loved Lee Ann's Magical Online Class. I learned so much by her teachings and the class made me think in new ways about creativity, being vulnerable, trying something new and thinking about LEGO bricks as a beginner. I loved the many layers that came with the course and find myself pondering creativity in new ways." -Kathy
"This course has been an amazing experience for me! I feel I have grown in so many ways. I experienced seeing my value, that I'm perfect and enough. I learned so much about my emotions when I created them with bricks. It allowed me to see what I do. That was so huge for me. I also experienced creating from my heart and soul. When I create from my heart and soul, I allow ME to shine. I've been hiding parts of me that I wasn't aware of. I trusted and believed in what I was capable of and I made a huge breakthrough." - Linda
"I started this course at the very same time I started a brand new (challenging) job. I was very anxious and uneasy about my new role, but by going through the lessons I was able to remind myself that I AM creative and remember to focus on 'What do I want to get out of my day?' That change in persective helped me navigate the uncertainties and unknowns of a new team and a real vulnerability about what I can bring to this new job. I gained courage to be creative and the self compassion to know that if my ideas or thoughts don't always come out as perfect or the best fit, that is 100% okay. Thank you!!" -2019 Participant
FAQ
-Where is the course held?
This is a self-paced online course through Teachable. I specifically chose Teachable to host my course because I have taken courses through them with great success and love the the ease of keeping track of your progress and the ability to comment and share pictures.
-Who is leading this course?
I'm Lee Ann Hilbrich, the founder of Daring Discoveries, and I will be your guide. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator in Brené Brown's work, and a Registered Yoga Instructor. And yes, while I am a licensed mental health professional, I am not performing the role of psychotherapist in this course. I have lots more information about me on my site, so be sure to look around. But the most important thing to know about me is that I'm a creative soul. My creativity was awakened in 2013 and I haven't stopped letting it out since then. I am literally not the same person and my life is radically different. I want everyone to be able to have that experience of finding their most wholehearted, authentic selves through creativity.
-How long do I have access to the course?
You will have lifetime access to the course through Teachable so you are able to go at your own pace. Teachable says, "After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own."
-How long should I expect to spend on the course weekly?
The average is 1-3 hours. To view and read the weekly content could take you anywhere from 20 min. to an hour and how long it takes you to create and how many creations you chose to make will add from there. I would allow yourself a minimum of 30 min. for the creation process and 30 min. for the optional beyond the brick.
-What supplies do I need and are they included?
Supplies are not included. If you don't have any bricks at home, I would estimate spending between $30-$60. For this course you will need some loose brick (~200-500 pieces) to create with and one small brick set with instructions (~100-200 pieces). Remember, it's really about what you want to work with, you can do this course with much less or much more. There will be some Beyond the Brick activities, but those should be able to be done, at minimum, with supplies you have at home. There will be more information on supplies in the welcoming lesson once you sign up, but for ideas of where and how to buy (or borrow) bricks, or if you need an example of the difference between loose brick and brick sets, please see the file below.
