Well, truth be told, I have a lot of creative projects to do but I have selected a main focus of creative WORK for the next 6 months.
I’m going to make a weekly Zine.
I’ve selected this as part of the Alphabet Superset challenge that Cam at Struthless has designed.
I’m just working out the parameters of what will ‘count’ as a Zine each week now.
I feel really excited about this.
This week I taught a creativity workshop, took a drawing workshop and a Zine workshop, and I told a story on stage at a public event.
Today, I’m going to an ‘Art Crawl’ where people can drop by our organization’s table to try a couple of activities.
I just need to add some writing to my day today and this will be a perfectly creative week.
The workshop yesterday was delightful. Exactly what I needed.
And even though I didn’t completely understand what was going on, the instructor’s approach made it safe to feel that way.
It was a really interested exploration of the patterns of our inner worlds – not our mental space but our sense of our bodies from the inside.
*To be clear though, these fears of being the only one who doesn’t get it were not irrational. That exact scenario has played out MANY times.
I love teaching workshops.
I love the energy.
I love creating a space where people have room to try out ideas, to think about their work differently, and to be a little kinder to themselves about the things they are trying to do.
And today’s group was filled with especially wonderful people who enjoyed taking that little bit of time for their creativity.
And I enjoyed helping them.
It’s a whole pile of fun…
