DESIGN THE LIFE YOU LOVE BY AYSE BIRSEL > VIRTUAL TEA #100 PARTY WITH TAMAR ETTUN

Dear Designers of Life!

This week we celebrate our Design the Life You Love Virtual Tea #100!

ONE HUNDRED!

I am tingling with excitement, and frankly, I am a little lost for words.

Good thing I wrote about the virtual teas last week—how we started, why we continued, and the beautiful community we built together. If you haven't read it, you can read it?here.

Today all I want to do (or am able to do) is to tell you about the party we've planned for #100!?

The prolific, Jerusalem-born, New York-based artist?Tamar Ettun?is coming to the virtual tea to help us "trap" our inner demons!

Some of the demons Tamar notes are—the demon of empathy and fatigue, the demon of toxic empathy, the demon of pandemic depression, the demon of guilt, the demon of loss, the demon of being overwhelmed, the demon of overthinking, the demon of doubt.

What Tamar calls our?demons?are what we call Kryptonite in Design the Life You Love lingo—the things that slow us down or hold us back.?

What a great way to recognize our demons and capture them at our #100, especially since we started these teas to immunize ourselves to the uncertainty and havoc created by COVID. Let's catch them to make more time and space for our superpowers—optimism, gratitude, generosity, open-mindedness, playfulness, and courage.

Tamar will have us engage in a playful, experimental movement that considers how bodies move together and alone as an?expression of healing.?She will have us go through a series of multi-sensory movements to uncover our demons.?

Once we identify our demons, we will use art to gather protective magic and trap our demons. We will make?incantation bowls,?also known as devil-trap bowls, using items like paper plates, polymer clay, paper, and tape.

Materials:?

Bring paper

Writing utensils

Scissors and tape?

A bowl for your incantations bowl

Dress-code:?

Please wear comfortable clothes you can move and have fun in?

After you’ve captured your demons, join?Ron Carucci?and me?to Design the Honest Life You Love, on?May 14, Saturday, 11AM-4PM ET.?

"What is most amazing about Ayse Birsel and Ron Carucci's Design the HONEST Life You Love program is not its extraordinary efficiency but the simple fact that it does what it claims to do – it will coax and cajole you to be more honest and transparent about the life you really want for yourself. It certainly did for me. Honestly.”?—Mark Reiter,?best-selling co-author?

My friend and mentor Marshall Goldsmith started his daily calls with his 100 Coaches community at the beginning of COVID, saying if I can help one person, that's enough for me. That inspired me to do the same with my community and start the Virtual Teas. His new book,?The Earned Life,?is coming out on May 3rd. I love it and hope that you do as well.
