In this episode, we explore Creative Practice: what it really means, what it offers us and why it is a vital resource in our life.
A Creative Practice is not some rigid amount of time that we set aside each day in order to do exercises and 'be creative'. Yes, it involves us showing up consistently, but it is far more than something we timetable in: it is actually a way of being, and something we humans naturally do.
Creativity is happening all the time. For anyone who is a writer, musician, artist, gardener, engineer, scientist or film maker, you will know that you are constantly being inspired by the world around you and by the creations of other human beings. Life itself is constantly planting seeds. We are being 'resourced' all the time by Life.
Having a creative practice is a) being conscious of this dynamic flow of inspiration and allowing ourselves to get fully immersed in it, and b) making time to co-create with and express this.
Not only does this prove to be fulfilling and nourishing for us, but it also touches others too. It isn't just some selfish or self-indulgent practice where we take time out from the real world; it is where we sip at the well of meaning and beauty, and come back better able to serve, support and inspire others.
We hope you enjoy this episode!
