THE ART OF CREATIVE LIVING PLAYSHOP: A LIFE-CHANGING JOURNEY TO HIGHER CREATIVITY



WE ARE CREATED TO CREATE

Help stamp out fear, self-sabotage, jealous, guilt, self-limiting beliefs and inhibiting forces.

Find out how small changes can alter the trajectory of a life time.

Find healing for “DIS-ease.”

Get serious about taking yourself lightly.

Learn to grieve loss and get on with it.

Camp for adults.

Change is the only thing that is unchanging.

Explore creative abundance

Work at learning to play.

Protect your inner artist.


SAYS WHO?


Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up. Picasso

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.
Thomas Merton

I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues.
Duke Ellington

Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Einstein

Do not fear mistakes—there are none.
Miles Davis

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented . . .?”
Actually, who are you not to be? Nelson Mandela


PLAYSHOP MEMBERS SAY

I didn’t know I had this many choices.
You should take a before and after picture.
I got in touch with my feelings at a level I’d never reached before.
The pages resulted in weight loss, less medication, and my allergies are better.
I feel like a one-woman work of art and the star of my own life.
I ended the pumpkin pie war.
I dreamed I had a beautiful baby at my age—me.

I quit my job. The most creative thing I can do its get a job—out of town.

This group should be required.
I keep forgetting to be unhappy. Sometimes it’s noon before I pick up a negative thought.

I went to see my baby rhinoceros again.

Last year I didn’t own a computer—now I’m a Web Page.

I never need a nap.

It’s my turn.

I’m having my second art showing.

She introduced me as her artist friend, and I didn’t turn around to see if she meant me.

When I am out alone, I’m in good company.

The joy is in the process and not in the product.
Now I pay attention.

I couldn’t overcome a perfect childhood, and you couldn’t overcome a bad one. We’re the same.

I don’t have time not to do the pages. They make me have a day worth living. Feel the fear and keep going.

You are now in my inner circle.

I wanted to go all my life. I did it.

My date was to stay in bed all day and read.

I have the sculpture because I offered to be the model.

I got a canvas bigger than me.

Usually when we say we can’t do something, what we mean is that we won’t do something unless we can guarantee that we do it perfectly.

The grace to be a beginner is always the best prayer for an artist. There is always one action you can take for your creativity daily.
Serious art is born from serious play.

Life is not a problem to be solved but a mystery to be lived.


The answer is always within. YOU ARE THE LEADER YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR.
