The Creativity Door
Helen Chadwick
Saturday 5 June 2021 ◊ UK TIME: 10:00 (English) ◊ LOCATION: Zoom
Maximum 24 participants
Waking up our creative juices through writing, drawing, singing, stretching, using colour and connection.
In the time of Covid, I have found that my well being has been deeply supported by connecting with others and being creative in parallel. In this workshop we will move between a brief stretch, some drawing, some writing, using our voice and using colour, with moments of reflection in small groups. No prior experience of writing, art, movement or singing is needed. It is for each of us to do these practices in our own way. There is no pressure to produce anything marvellous or show it. This is simply a way to support ourselves to be creative, in the knowledge that others are making things at the same time. We will touch practices lightly, though we may wish one day to return to something we begin to create in these sessions. This is not about being an artist, it is simply about creating and how that experience can nourish us. And it is about nourishing our creativity.
