Coaching to the Creative Unconscious

2/##/2026 | LOCATION

Evoking change and transformation is a creative act, and so you, coach, are already a “creative.”

Asking powerful questions and active listening are core coaching competencies, skills informed by your innate creativity. Expanding that creative capacity, and streamlining your access to it, will allow you to source your questions from an intuitive trove, opening new portals to change for your clients.

Coaching to the Creative Unconscious is designed for seasoned coaches who seek to:

add depth coaching practices to their coaching approach
better serve clients who identify the reclamation of creativity as their “coachable issue”
gain fuller access to the treasures within their own creative unconscious

Depth coaching recruits the unconscious as a partner in the change process, tapping the wisdom of symbol and metaphor, archetype and active imagination. Through solo exercises and reflections, interactive discussions and demos, and hands-on artmaking and asemic writing, workshop participants will become a creative consortium, inspired and sparked by the experiments, learnings and teachings of each other.

Cultivating your own creative approach, personally and professionally, is a delightful and very doable way to bring more of your whole Self to your life and work. Coaching to the Creative Unconscious invites you to discover and deploy more of what waits within.

LYNN SCHOENER

Lynn Schoener brings an artist’s orientation and a passion for depth psychology to her coaching engagements, cultivating a capacity for inner work and a creative way of being. A thirty-year practitioner of executive, team, and couples coaching, she has devoted her career to helping people in transition imagine and implement vibrant and fulﬁlling work/lives.

Prior to earning her coaching certiﬁcation through the Hudson Institute of Coaching and launching Coaching Creative Change in 1999, Lynn led initiatives within retail and healthcare settings to integrate coaching skills into leadership development programs. As a solo practitioner, her keynotes, workshops, and consulting supported the enrichment of coaching cultures in organizations. Individual clients included leaders in the energy, technology, insurance, legal, ﬁnancial services, higher education and faith-based sectors. Lynn’s focus now includes clients who wish to evoke their latent creativity, and seasoned coaches who are inspired to add depth practices to their coaching approach.

Lynn’s current life chapter commenced in 2023, with a move to the creative playground of New York City. When not discovering the many wonders of her new home with visiting family and friends, or traveling with them to parts unknown, she turns her tiny apartment into a studio for collage and makes a joyful mess.

PATRICIA DIBONA

With over thirty-ﬁve years of experience in graphic arts and teaching, award-winning artist Patricia DiBona is widely known as “The Artist Who Journals on Canvas.” Through a unique merging and layering of words and images, her paintings offer a message of love, joy, and inspiration.

Patricia teaches individual and group art classes in her Atlanta studio and online at both beginner and advanced levels. Her relaxed style and supportive approach has gained her a loyal and enthusiastic following around the country. Offerings include painting, collage, altered books, illustrated journaling, graphic design and typography; her most popular workshops are Intuition & Creativity, Healing through Art, and Pollage. She delights in helping clients envision, design, produce, self-publish, and bring their art to market.

As it became evident that many of her students were in transition, hoping that a focus on creativity would enrich their next life chapter, Patricia became certiﬁed in ontological coaching through the Newﬁeld Network in 2018. Through that study, she gained expertise in somatics, language, and emotion, combining that with art making and asemic writing to help clients access their creative unconscious. When not serving as muse through her teaching and coaching, Patricia experiments with artful ways to enrich her own personal development and spiritual growth.
