THE CREATIVE POTENTIAL: creativity counseling and coaching
For the Artist, and would-be Artist, the act of making art is the act of making meaning. Whether we are conscious or it or not, the reason for learning art is to understand oneself. For the creative mind it is through creativity that we seek to understand purpose, explore relationship, express values, adventure into our philosophies and spiritual yearnings, expose our deepest feelings, and ask our most burning questions.
Many artists and would-be Artists enter into the process of creativity without firm grounding and the clarity that helps keep creativity flowing in the direction of fulfillment. There is a fundamental requirement that often goes unexamined even though it is the foundation of a successful creative life: Understanding Yourself. It is the relationship with your Self that feeds creative growth. Art without understanding is just Form without Life-energy.
The Center for Mindful Living Practices offers individual coaching and counseling sessions as well as Inner Work and the Creative Potential, a series of workshops to help you understand and develop the relationship with you Self that is the foundation for releasing you Creative Potential and attaining the highest levels of creative growth. The series includes:
Wave Hands Like Clouds: Grounding and Clarity for Creativity is the first workshop focusing on waving away confusion to discover important basics about who you are and then grounding yourself in purpose, value and meaning, balanced within as a place to move forward.
Snake Creeps Down: Dropping into Personal Encounter is the second workshop, creating space and structure for deepening your personal encounter, creeping down into our psyches to reveal tensions that can either block our creative path or propel us forward into the place of amazing creative traction.
White Crane Spreads Winds: Pursuing the Creative Path is the third workshop, focusing on strategies to keep the creativity flowing, the channels open and our wings spread in creative flight.
