Dear Creative Friend, We found wisdom this week with a small group of courageous inner journeyers. For four full days, we collectively turned inward to access the wisdom within and follow the path that was laid out before us. Although we traveled together, each person received their own wisdom and followed their individual path. What a gift it is to be
accompanied by others on a deeply personal journey. As we entered the labyrinth to receive the journey's calling, we walked alongside others doing the same. What became apparent is that wisdom arrives in many forms, it is always accessible, and the arts provide a way for us to get there. It is extraordinary to travel in tandem with others as you enter the vastness of your own inner world and bring out treasures that only you can share. It is such a gift to do this work and to offer others an
experience that leads them through their own inner territory as we bear witness to what they discover. One process we love to use is our Found Wisdom process which you might find fun and inspiring, too. Just take a pinch of cut out words and phrases from magazines, arrange them and glue them down. See what wisdom you can find there. What always surprises us is how
close the message is to the questions we carry. Although they often feel a bit whimsical and even silly, they also make sense in a nonilnear, felt sense sort of way. Try it! Here is mine (Tamara): Remember that images are often ahead of us, so making sense is not a requirement. Stay on the path, keep lstening, and follow the thread of your own inner wisdom. For me, I can't wait to see what this "vision of recharged angel alchemy" is all about! |
