We are creative beings that have been bottled up by societal (and corporate) conventions: "Dont rock the boat," "follow the rules," "weve always done it that way," etc.
Creative impulses come naturally to human beings - theyve just been quashed and discouraged and discounted until we get to be "adults" whove forgotten the joy of creativity. Weve forgotten how to let it flow. Creativity is a blending of an openness to the world around us with a basic trust in our intuitive, inventive selves.
This seminar offers the opportunity to explore all levels of creativity. From that first spark or impulse that begins the process, through the in-depth exploration of the five senses
and how they feed and nurture creativity, to those indefinable seconds when we are swept up in the creative moment: the concept of time disappears, thoughts come through you rather than from you - and you are caught up in the unveiling of your true creative self.
Focus areas include:
The creative process and the path of creativity
The six senses of creativity
Getting off the "thinking treadmill"
The impulse to the creative action
Expressing your emotional point of view
Turning creative ideas into product
The exercises we practice and teach are designed to re-awaken and re-establish the connections we have to our five (or six) senses - our connections to our bodies and spirits - and to re-open these channels from the world around us.
