Creative experience is not limited to artists and writers.
Anyone can access genuine creative experience by free and open use of the imagination.
Experience of the creative does not depend on analysis to be useful. It is sufficient, transformative, healing, comforting, informative, magical -- pick a word that doesn't set off your own personal BS detector.
Working with the body helps to anchor our imagination. Free movement comes from an unconditioned place, opening us to creativity, keeping excess mind at bay.
We are natural storytellers. We make up stories, dream stories, tell our friends what happened. Story is the natural language of experience.
Working with others, we support one another, providing examples of fun and fearlessness.
When we see another person struggle, we develop a compassion which extends to include ourselves.
