“When we realize that everything we do is an act of our creativity – there is power in that. I teach people to become what I call – Conscious Creators – human beings actively engaged in each moment of their life, as a conscious creative act. When we decide this – we become Life Artists. We then return to our most natural state – abundance and pleasure, contact and connection, physical acts of clarity and intention, and the expressive use of our will – purposefully creating and living the lives we choose – thereby making a change in the world at large.”

About me:
Barbara Droubay teaches and works with creators, innovators, and entrepreneurs towards reaching their creative aims effectively and with greater pleasure. She is an inspired lecturer and a leader of group training in Creative Confidence. Her courses and workshops teach a unique approach of recognizing creativity as a physical experience in the body – which when developed – activates and engages our inborn creative drive.
She has a 20+ year love affair with the body – covering differing somatic methodologies – from Cranial Osteopathy, Myofascial Release & Trigger Point Therapies, Tantric and Shamanic practices, to the past 10 years as a Grinberg Method practitioner and trainer.
Her parallel passion and life focus has always been Creativity – expressing itself for many years as a Fine Arts painter and conceptual artist focused on perception. Living in New York City she managed and curated what is now one of the top jazz clubs in the city, and began in this time to recognize her innate capacity to organize and manage systems.
In 2000 she moved to Berlin, Germany where she owned a highly successful somatic coaching center. It is here that she began the process of integrating the body of somatic work with the body of creative experience – developing a highly effective synergy of two intimately related systems of being – claiming that creativity is an innate physical experience. A deeply Human experiene – which when tapped into through the body – allows us to reach states of heightened awareness and flow. In 2015 she founded Life Artists – dedicated to the teaching of somatic practices for Creative Consciousness with the intent to share the pleasure and power of using our physicality to embody and manifest our full creative potential.

Life Artists' mission
Life Artists is my form of protest

Let’s face it – our minds are beautifully impractical. That is precisely what allows us to dream, imagine, innovate, and create! But this creation gets lost in translation when we try to use abstract principles to affect the physical world—ie; to manifest our ideas practically into reality – we have to do something physical! The same applies by the way if you reverse hack. In order to affect and change the way we think about our self and to interrupt and stop creative blocks and self-image issues, the easiest way is to change something in our physiology. Naturally, the experiences we are living through directly affect our beliefs, and feelings – our ideas and thinking abilities – and most often, we have far more control of our physical responses than we do to our mind movies!


All the “trying” and struggling to optimize, be better and achieve more, reach states of high efficiency and peak flow, etc. – (that oh so huge market for overachievers to be anxious about forever) – is missing a very crucial and unbelievably DUH part of all this – that being the role our BODY plays in creating the experiences we are so desperately trying to achieve. After all, we are not machines – and experience is physical, sensual, in the now, and relies fundamentally on the fact that we have a body and are human.
Like fish who do not perceive that the medium they are moving in is water – we are increasingly living and working as minds – no longer understanding that our experience is fundamentally a physical one – not only an abstraction. That great idea only becomes manifest through something happening in our physiology. The place where a person can AFFECT unwanted states and CREATE wanted experiences is in the body – in our physiological responses to life – and to the physiological patterns we form and maintain based upon our ideas about life. Stress, hunger, excitement, pain, fear, pleasure, etc and good, brave, strong, nice, powerful, stupid, lazy, untalented etc.


“Creativity Is physical – the more embodied you are the easier it is to create!
