Tua’r Tarddiad / Towards the Source
Creativity is inherent within us. It’s voice is always there, somewhere, seeking expression in the most vibrant times of life, and the most difficult. It emerges from somewhere, often unknown. It has it’s own time and rhythm and way of calling our attention. It can be a comfort, a companion, and a challenge to get to know what it is that makes our heart alive, what wakes us up, and what makes us sing inside.
Creativity shows itself in the way our body moves in good conversations with another, the way gesture, tone of voice, a blink of an eye, all move back and fourth to an unknown rhythm. At its heart, creativity is a mystery but there are ways we can call it in by simply listening. The intention perhaps may be to simply offer creativity a space within us, and a time, so it can teach us, and guide us right into the very present, by hanging out, and joining deeply to the rhythms that move us.
There will be simple offerings of guided practices of moving, writing, drawing, walking and resting in the company of the environment of Felinganol, its surrounding nature, and each other.
