There is a place, deep inside, that we can access through the expressive arts. That place holds our light, our wisdom, our deepest inner knowing. Its natural language is image, movement, music, art, poetry. We reconnect with that place through the arts, and, from that place we bring new growth into our lives. That is,
in essence "creative wisdom".
As we bring our own creative wisdom more fully into our own lives, we can, in turn, assist others in finding, and living from their own inner truth.
I am the light, nurturing new growth.
I know the truth, and I know this place of illumination and nurture.
Passing by, you may miss me
Or think I am buried
Out of sight.
But no, I am here.
Yes, I am here.

As a writer, artist, and educator, I enrolled in Creative Wisdom to learn about expressive arts practices and to discover ways to bring my creativity more into the center of my life. I found every week inspiring with lessons and techniques that brought me joy while nurturing and deepening my personal
practice, as well as giving me ideas for future possibilities I may bring to my community. The holistic nature of the course is wonderful! I recommend Creative Wisdom to anyone who would like to discover more about the expressive arts.
