Creativity Matters
June 3 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Freedom
June’s Creativity Matters theme is “Freedom.” Together, we’ll discover how freedom fuels creativity by opening the door to endless possibilities and true self-expression. Freedom encourages us to break boundaries, trust our unique voices, and create boldly, without fear or limits.
Please note: starting in June, Creativity Matters will be meeting on the first Tuesday of the month.
Project Options
We will have supplies for Project Options C, D, and E from the monthly Creativity Matters packet*:
- Inner Critic: Get freedom from inner critic. It can be harsh and loud, but giving it a name and a face can help loosen its grip. Draw, paint, or collage your inner critic as a person. Give it a face, a name, imagine its size, clothes, and expression, and add word bubbles.
- Four Values: Freedom isn’t just about fewer limits, it’s about staying true to what matters most. Choose your top four core values, find an object or person that represents each one, create or find an image of them, and hang them on a wall in your home.
- Escape Decision Fatigue: From illustrator Wendy MacNaughton, this exercise uses simple rules to ease decision fatigue and invite creative flow. By giving up control, we shift from directing the process to collaborating with it. Sprinkle red chili flakes (or similar small items) onto a blank page. Let them fall naturally. Outline each flake where it lands, then enjoy the meditative practice of filling in the negative space with black ink.

What is Creativity Matters?
Our Creativity Matters group helps community members engage in monthly themes and explore spiritual growth through creative expression.
It’s all about allowing our intuition and imagination to guide us, not just our logic and reflective minds. Think of it as making room for your right brain to dance with your left brain.
Creativity Matters is a high school and adult group designed for everyone — no experience or artistic skill is required! Just bring a playful spirit and adventurous attitude.
