About this Event
In this workshop, delve into the purpose of your creativity and dismantle structures that inhibit your creativity from flowing naturally. This is the time to embrace your own rhythm and cadence as an "artist".
Being creative is embedded in our nature as humans. As an creative human, you have your own sense of timing, of vision, of method. These creative patterns are also learned from community, family, culture, and country.
Our society defines "the artist" as a particular thing distinct and separate from society. It fails to help us see the ways in which we are each artists in our everyday life creating beauty in the world around us and making in the most mundane moments. As a result, we can be completely oblivious to our natural creative talents, believing the word "artist" applies to the few who do it professionally. If we identify as "an artist", we can lose track of what feels good in being creative, trying to do what others expect we should do.
To center and honor your own rhythm and cadence as an "artist" can bring you a great sense of flow, of grounding, and improved boundaries with this world. There is something magical that happens when you own who you are and how you flow - outside of any external expectations.
All skill levels are welcome from long-timers, newbies, and everyone in between. All varieties of artists and mediums are welcome too!
