making friends with creativity

i am very happily working on a new workshop today called “making friends with creativity”.  this is a brand new creativity workshop, that i am putting together for the edge gallery and artist’s village. when i met with serena from the edge to discuss the possibilities, we agreed that we wanted to put on a workshop that would encourage a greater connection to creativity in artists and “non-artists” alike. (though really we are all artists in our own way)

so this is inspired by a workshop i used to do called “discovering your creative spirit“.  i wanted to take that idea a step further, rather than just discovering our creative spirit and learning about it, we can actually form a relationship with it.  creating a relationship with it allows us to understand how we can nourish our creativity, and see all the ways our creativity can nourish us.

in creating a nourishing relationship with our creativity, we open up all sorts of new and wonderful possibilities.

creativity is about so much more than the arts.  (though the arts are beautiful and important and valuable)  creativity is intuition and brilliant ideas, solutions, new perspectives.  creativity is a bright shining light and a really good and wonderful friend to have.  this is a friendship that can open up new doors to new worlds.

i made a little video of me talking about the workshop:

this will be happening october 7, 7-9 pm, in winnipeg at the edge gallery and artists’ village.  check out their website.

this is going to be a fantastic evening and i really really encourage you to attend.  but if you are not in winnipeg – guess what?  i am going to be turning this workshop into a creativity kit so you can make friends with creativity in the comfort of your own home.  stay tuned for creativity kit updates.
