“Divine Creativity & Flow” is an invitation to listen deeply within oneself and bring forth the creative, compassionate wisdom held there to engage with life and the world around us. By getting out of the thinking mind and listening to the songs deep inside the soul, we are able to meet with a wondrous part of the self we often left behind in childhood. This workshop weaves together guided meditations with playful, artistic, and embodied practices. 

Our subconscious is invited to speak and express through us creativity, in this fun and engaging workshop. We will also have time to reflect individually and as a group on what has come up in the practice of deep listening and expressing, to and through, our body. What does it mean to listen with our whole body? What does it feel like to engage with life from this open, curious, playful, receptive, wise and compassionate place?  How can we utilize these skills in our sessions with directee’s, as well as in our own everyday lives?
