The Path of Inspiration – Following Your Creative Calling

Whatever your inspiration is calling you to explore – an art form, or perhaps a work project or another area of interest – join this small group to stimulate your creative flow!

Our world needs inspired action that comes from a deep place of connection – with ourselves, each other and the web of life. Together we will build a container for the sacred alchemy of the creative process to unfold. On this 2-month journey you will be encouraged to walk your path of inspiration with many resources along the way. You will be supported to tap into your body-mind-heart’s wisdom and find authentic expression for it.

To get in touch with the source of our creativity, we will draw on embodied mindfulness practices, nature immersion and creative exercises. We will explore ways of attuning to creative impulses and build community for connection and support. We will meet our inner child with its playfulness, innocence and wisdom, and we will also meet our inner critic, befriending them both and uncovering their gifts. Meditation, creative exploration, gentle movement, deep relaxation, playfulness, toning, deep listening, sharing circles and time outdoors will all be part of the journey.

The essential nature of creative processes is non-linear and often messy, and we’ll welcome the messiness, making space for not knowing and the tenderness that can come with it. While each creative process is unique, there are common threads. There is a spiralling between receptivity and activity – a dance between essence and form. On the receptive side, we will tune in, mull over, dream into, receive, incubate. On the active side, we will form, shape, experiment, edit, create, manifest.

How would you love to enrich your life? What would you love to offer to the world? What is your unique gift and contribution? Food for contemplation, along with your own themes. On this 2-month journey you will be encouraged to walk your path of inspiration with many resources along the way. You will be supported to tap into your body-mind-heart’s wisdom and find authentic expression for it.
