Faraway is Close

experiences that liberate creativity

 

“I love seeing someone surprised by their capacity for creativity, a sudden sentence that just roots them and uproots them.”

- Shebana Coelho

What is creativity? To me, it’s something natural. Something needed. A need to play in sound and silence, to express what we feel in metaphor and movement. This can get stuck - in our busy lives and in a world that encourages us to do this or that. Instead of being, feeling, writing, dancing, singing. Just for the love of it. Expressing creativity can feel difficult, distant. But I believe it’s right here, closer than we think, under the skin. I believe it brings us home to ourselves. It liberates us into a felt body sense of inspiration. With that felt body sense as a guide, we live in harmony with our true nature, in full expression of who we are and why we are here.
