When I found out a new way of creating, intuitive side, I knew it works wonders for me, but when I did my first workshop I wasn't sure how others may react, if it will be "aha" moment for them too... It was scary.
First I shared my story, being totally open and honest about my journey, and I did explained that they just have to go and create something on the piece of paper, I could feel the consternation walk into the room.
"Art? I can't do art, I am not creative, I can't draw, I was never good at this" - I've seen everyone automatically shrinking in their sitting position.
While one person was creating with headphones on, we unpacked those feelings as a group, I asked few questions - when was the last time you did art? If you enjoyed it as a kid, what made you stop doing art, what art means to you and more, digging deeply cleaning the dust that society/school/ourselves put on our creative side.
With a time people were more open, more excited, more relaxed that they don't have to create a master piece, that simply they are enough, as they are.
The dust was slowly coming off, more for some, less for others. And that was OK!
When we finished many were saying how amazing it was to just create without any expectations or judgment. It felt so freeing and empowering to just be.
It opened my eyes and my mission was born. More people need this in their lives, and that is why I'm here.
When often my art is all about me, my ego, my career, my achievements, my goals, my paychecks, my dreams...
This was something else and something I was meant to find exactly when I did. Something that is not about me anymore, something greater. Something I was looking for such a long time.
If you would like to clean a bit of the dust that may lay on your creative side, if you would like to take it out of the box, but not sure where to start... Follow the link for little mindful start with intuitive art here -
