In celebration of the Winter Feast for the Soul – Jan. 15th – Feb. 23. This month’s inquiry is “what is your experience of nourishment?”
I continue to be amazed at how nourishing it is for me to make art, to let go into the unknown of the creative process, to be the hands moving things around, to be listening for the subtle inner guidance that offers a thought/creative impulse/possibility. There’s such a lightness for me with the process like I get to set something down, some part of me that knows, strives, tries to figure out, or understand. I let myself be in the flow and lightness of the mystery of how a few pieces of colored paper take on a whole new form. And express some of the beauty I sense that is inherent in life, in being fully alive and connected to the life force. I find myself being nourished by the creative process, by the contact with the life force and by the beautiful images.
Creative Inquiry
This month explore what nourishment means to you, what your experience of being nourished is, what practices you have to nourish yourself? You could sit quietly with these questions and see what comes up. You could journal with these questions as a starting pointing. You could choose to bring the exploration into your art-making process – collaging, painting or drawing in response to these questions and see what images come. However you choose to explore with this inquiry be curious and open to what shows up.
Creative Inspiration
I share my artwork here to inspire you to create your artwork. It is through your art-making that you will discover more about who you are.
