Nurturing Your Tender Creative Fire

Published: Sat, 06/10/17

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Fire Tender, Tender Fire

I hold my fire tenderly. Reverently. 
I listen as its warm wisdom draws in like breath and fills me. 
I am called to be still. Hear each crackle and snap. Vibration. Tone.
My eyes are open. 
I see the value of my tending.
I judiciously choose my kindling to stoke the flames.
Burning deep inside. Warming me from within.

I listen and I breathe. 
I am flame. I am guided.

 I am present to the One.
I am.

Your creative fire is a precious resource of energy and inspiration that lives within you. It must be tended with care and consistency. With love and attention, it illuminates and inspires your life with a warm glow that is unique to you.

The demands of a busy life or stress from the world around you can take you away from tending your fire.

Engagement with a creative tribe can re-ignite the vital spark that sustains you. As the group gathers online around the metaphorical community fire from all over the world, you will feel the circle of support and inspiration.

You will be guided by experts and included in a safe and accepting group without even leaving your own home. You do not  have to have any art experience or skills, just some simple art materials and the willingness or curiosity to explore.

Join us on Tuesday June 13 from wherever you are in the world, to nurture your own inner creative fire and connect with a supportive tribe.
