Creative Flow

Creativity is part of who you are – your personal expression of life force. Long ago, nearly all human activities, from carving a spoon to delivering a baby to healing a fever, were accompanied by some sort of aesthetic ritual. Our lives were once thoroughly woven with song, dance, story, art, and adornment. Today we think of creativity as a specialized skill, when in fact it is an innate part of being human, a quality that intuitively connects us with other humans and with all of nature.

Over these six weeks, we will use a combination of somatic practices, writing exercises, coaching techniques, and supplemental reading and podcast assignments to nurture your own creative power and meet any obstacles that arise. In this course, obstacles to creative flow are not “in the way.” Rather THEY ARE THE WAY. Obstacles are raw material for creative transformation and we will work with them with honor and respect.
