What comes up for you when
someone brings up creativity?

I have found through years that this word has often been colonized and occupied by ideas that steal away our primal relationship with what we are made of, and what we are made of is creative.

 

Some of these ideas that have become curses include stories like:

 

Creativity is for some special elite group

Creativity is about the product

Creativity is about money

Creativity is a luxury

Creativity is optional

 

As a result of these and many other lies, we may feel tension, shame, frustration, or a sense of failure when we think about creativity.

 

This occupation is a deep and sorrowful theft.

These stories and experiences steal away our primal connection with life, distort our vision, and sever us from our sense belonging.

 

We are all creative.

Every moment you live, you are creating something.

Returning to creativity as birthright and elemental aspect of what we are made of will help us reconnect with our vitality, re-member us back into our sense of belonging, and deepen our meaningful participation with an ensouled responsive world.

 

Also, it will strengthen and equip us to respond wildly and powerfully to the collective moment we are in right now. We are part of Something that is always making us and that we are always making. To reclaim our birthright as Creatrixes is to remember that we make worlds.

 

Now is a powerful moment that calls for the re-creation of our worlds.

 

During our time together we will weave story, song, movement, artistic expression, depth and archetypal sensibilities, and even quantum physics to create a place of remembering ourselves back to our creative love, freedom, and joy.

 

From that creative joy, we live and love.

From our creative liberation we respond to this moment, we participate in the creation of a new sacred dream not only for our intimate inner lives but also for our global community.

 

During our three-day retreat we will explore:

Creativity as Communion and Intimacy

Creativity as pleasure and rest

Creativity as resistance and transgression

 

We will eat good food, rest unapologetically, dance, sing, ask brave questions, shed old stories, and witness our deep wild lives and each other as we softly call back our belonging with and to Creativity.

 

That is the invitation: to come explore and play with these questions in a loving and intimate container.

 

And of course, we always remember that the greatest medicine of all is in the gathering itself.
