Why Start a Creative Practice

It’ll be your own creative practice that gives you solace, sanctuary and consistent creative connection.

Sometimes it’ll be challenging to get in the zone, but don’t let that stop you.

When you commit to a practice you’ll find resonant territories that feel like home where creating happens easily and profoundly.

After many goes, your practice becomes something that truly compels you. It feels right because you don’t have to make everything happen. It just flows.

For many, a creative practice can be an elixir. That said, it’s a discipline. Some days suck, mostly because of attachment to a standard. You can’t help but want an optimal outcome, but try not to be too demanding. Imagine it’s both of you and not of you. You don’t control it.

Creative practice can be enriching and even stabilizing. It can give you an inner world while helping you shape an outer world in which you have the most sense of belonging Intimacy with your world results in intimacy with yourself and you find resonance with others like you.

The imagination needs exercise just like the body does. Cultivating a creative practice can wake-up the imagination and help in other areas of your life.

Deeper meaning, fuller expression, enlivened senses, presence of inner and outer worlds and even a non-linear sense of space and time are benefits from creative practice.

It’s life altering. There really are times when it seems like you’re in another dimension (when you’re really connecting). It’s here the material world and worries connected to it have far less gravity.
