Over the summer I spent some time working on a book project about being more creative in your life. I am a firm believer that creativity is a pathway to personal understanding and self-actualization as we start to bring more of who we are into the world and our work.
Not to mention the fact that creative work simply brings so much joy. The book got put on hold, but it morphed into a course. We will be hosting the course from April to June. It is free and open to anyone interested in living a more creative life, or boosting their creativity, or even discovering their creative side. It should also be a lot of fun. One element will be to give yourself a creative challenge. To engage in one or more creative activities each day. I started my own creative challenge at the start of the new year. I am writing one song, one poem and doing one drawing a day. This has been a eye-opening experience as I am finding some creative abilities I didn't know existed within me. I have been sent a couple references in the past two days to Seth Godin's work around creativity. He speaks here about making a living doing creative work.youtu.be/u7YZ84HTEDI And some more on doing creative work www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdUeq09cGJ0 My favorite writer on the subject is Elizabeth Gilbert. Check out her TED talk here. www.ted.com/talks/elizabeth_gilbert_your_elusive_creative_genius/up-next Her book is amazing as well. Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear. It has been a great month of creating and I hope you will join me for the course. www.consciousnessexplorations.com/courses.html Now go create something.
