"Intention is
the most important factor in
creating change. Thoughts are powerful. By merely thinking an idea, you
have set the seeds for it to come to fruition."
- GILLI MOON
"Our deepest fear is not
that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is
that we
are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our
darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, 'Who am
I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and famous?' Actually, who are
you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small
doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about
shrinking so that
other people won't feel insecure around
you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is
within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously
give
other people permission to do the same.
As we are
liberated from our own fears,
our presence automatically
liberates others."
- NELSON MANDELA

themselves or their art, who may feel pressured by the
industry, or may feel the hardship of the roller coaster ride.

Become a Creative Explorer
Workshop
A
power-packed workshop to unleash the creative explorer in
you.
How far would you go to
change the world? Who do you work for? Someone else's
ambition? Fame? Recognition? Material possessions? God?
Our lives are not meant to be wasted on just maintaining
our lives. By that I mean, working hard and spinning your
wheels just to maintain the status quo you have built:
house (mortgage), cars, social life, 9-5 routine. There is
more to our lives!
Become a great explorer!
Intention
is the most important factor in creating change.
Thoughts are powerful. By merely thinking an idea, you
have set the seeds for it to come to fruition. How can you
remove the maintenance clause of your life and become a
great explorer? One way is to answer three important
questions to yourself that is about your Intention. I call
this exercise the Creative Explorer
exercise. In the workshop you will discover a few
important factors to clear away the cobwebs of your
creative life and be able to answer three important
questions:
What have I created over the
last year? What am I over?
What am I going to create now?
Exploration
into the unknown can be a little scary, but it's the only
way anything was ever discovered. Leap empty handed into
the void.

The
Successful Artist Entrepreneur
– the ins and outs of getting out there as an artist in the business
of music.
The KEY TO SURVIVAL AND SUCCESS in the music
business of TODAY is to be a
unique artist, in charge of your
own destiny.
It means you need to be an artist entrepreneur.
In order to be powerful as an artist, you have to be very business artist.
You need to be very self driven and business savvy. You don’t need to know
everything about the business (you can go to experts for advice) but you are
in control. If you want it to be life long, you have to be a visionary. You
have to be able to think outside the box and “feel” it inside. A lot of
inner work is required. So while you are working on your craft and
techniques on the outside, you have to work on your mindset on the inside.
* learning the art of self-empowerment: getting out and doing
it the Indie Way
- What is music entrepreneurship?
- the importance of being a business person as well as an
artist
- learning to use the left and right sides of the brain
together
* career building - how to create your art/music business
and be the master of your destiny
- Building a plan and executing it.

* Promotional and marketing strategies

Why come to a gilli moon workshop?
Workshops are often one day intensive camps, or 1 to 2
hour seminar-style info sessions in various locations
including within the context of music conferences Gilli
participates in. As much as it's great to develop your craft
yourself, and even in one-on-one sessions (Gilli offers
coaching also), there is something magical about a group
workshop where you can feed off others and share your
progress. Gilli nurtures artists in small settings so that
everyone feels special and noone goes home without having dug
deep into their own psyche, dreams and goals. You leave with
attainable action plans, a sense of satisfaction, confidence,
joy and a "I can take on the world" mentality.

Testimonies
and Feedback of Gilli's Workshops
Gilli was a fantastic facilitator and helped us see that the answer
to who we were as artists was already within us. Through the
teleworkshop sessions and the "homework" in between sessions, we
were given an opportunity to grow at a good clip. Gilli made sure
each participant received equal attention and time, helped us each
refine our vision for what we wanted out of our art, and gave us
each a practical plan for continuing our work after the sessions
were completed. Meeting other like-minded musicians was also
tremendously fun and inspiring! I can't say enough good things about
this workshop!
Deb, Black Cat Habitat
"Great Rockstar Workshop. You've given me
some great tools to work with eye control. And I'm going to put
mirrors up in my new rehearsal room to practice with. I love the way
Bruce Springsteen moves, so I'm going to borrow some of that from
him and work it into my own. I think you covered everything that
needed to be covered. It fit nicely into the time frame. Great
workshop!"
"Very good. I liked the concept and approach and got taken out of my
comfort zone several times, which helped a lot. Wouldn't change
anything!"
"Great workshop as usual, Gilli! I learned a lot and had a lot of
fun -Thank you!"
"I really enjoyed the Rockstar Workshop. I
learned several things like how to move behind the piano. Also, the
idea of being a bit flirtatious is great and it think will work well
with songs. Having individual time was the best part. I have no real
suggestion for the workshop it was great."
"Good coaching! The most important is to just do it. Thanks for the
very important eye contact information and techniques. Good class, I
learned also from others being coached. Good "out-of-box" session
and the theatrical perspective was very important!"
"I enjoyed the day and have many thoughts that I can now put into
more concise words! You have been an inspiration to me. I would have
liked to have seen/heard everyone's stuff, but I am glad we took the
time to really compute the exercises. Thanks again!"
"All I can say is thanks! This has given me the tools to move on
with my career. I've learned a lot about myself I didn't know."
"This workshop was incredibly insightful & helpful. I feel spoiled.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom. ... your presence is welcoming
and accepting. Thank you for your honesty. I am very excited about
the next step."
"I loved the day. I've developed now a clearer path and step, I can
take what I want to do. Thank you so much. I think one of the things
I gained that will stick in me is really a clearer belief in myself,
that I can do this & I will. I definitely want to come to your next
workshop and maybe to some individual consulting with you as well!"
"Overall -very good flow and timekeeping from beginning to end! I
could not help but be drawn to this creative workshop..."
"I really enjoyed the workshop today. It was fun and I learned a
lot. I definitely have a lot to think about! Thank you Gilli!"
"Great advice and nurturing environment (Image
workshop). Sort of the swift kick in
the ass I needed to get me back on track, refocus and reenergize."
"Great workshop. I still have a lot to figure out but this is a
great start. Thanks for giving up yourself."
"I found this workshop necessary for me. It easily flowed and
answered questions I had I think it was challenging and better to
have "too much" material than not enough. Awesome!"
