SALTEE BITES APRIL: WILDERNESS AS CREATIVE PLAYGROUND
SALTEE BITES APRIL: WILDERNESS AS CREATIVE PLAYGROUND
Friday, April 15
10 - 10:50 am Pacific
Join me April 15 for a very special Saltee Bites Workshop: Wilderness as Creative Playground
All of us experience times when we find ourselves in a kind of wilderness - a liminal place beyond the comfort of the known. It can be frightening to find ourselves in such an “in between” space, when what we’ve known in the past has fallen away and we can’t yet see what’s coming next. But, as creators, we have the potential to reframe these “lost” spaces as rich and fertile ground for discovery and play.
This month, I’m teaming up with Melissa West, a depth psychotherapist, life coach, spiritual mentor, and expert in life transitions, to explore this “wilderness” space as a place full of creative possibility and potential.
Together, we’ll explore:
· What are the qualities of liminal times that make them so creatively rich?
· How can we work with the anxiety and grief of such times in ways that allow us to access our creative energies?
· How can we apply the insights of liminality to our personal creativity, and how might they reshape our experience of the profound shifts underway in our culture and the world?
I hope you’ll join Melissa and me for this powerful conversation about how we can learn to engage the void times as a transformational space for generative play.
