Itโs just not true because...
not only are you made of the Cosmos itself - an ever changing, ever evolving, ever regenerating miracle of Life force - but also because by your very human nature youโre in constant creation.

When you ask a child if they can draw, they proclaim โyes!โ for the simple reason that they can physically pick up a crayon and draw. They understand their innate ability to create.
But as adults we attach performance based quantification to creativity. Our thinking goes along these linesโฆโcan I draw? Well I donโt think I can (or Iโve been told I canโt) draw well and therefore I canโt draw. And because I canโt draw well, (or paint, or sing, or whatever else we limit through our belief systems of creativity) then Iโm not creative. And Iโm not even going to waste my time trying. Iโll leave that to the artists.โ
Sound familiar?

So! If youโd like to reclaim back your powerful creative essence, Iโd love to be your guide and cheerleader!
With great care I translated my inspiring Clay Play Workshop through @klompceramics (which has seen many a disbeliever birth into a fully realised creative being!) into a 3 hour long online workshop via @teachable which you can do anywhere, any time, more than once.
Itโs fun, itโs transformational, itโs empowering! Find out more here.
