SUMMARY:Creativity Matters • Invitation
DESCRIPTION:Something within us knows us better than we know ourselves. It knows what is right for us. It speaks by silently withdrawing energy from things that are not for us. It doesn’t care about our comfort; it cares about our growth. James Hollis \n\n\n\n\nInvitation\n\n\n\nSeptember’s Creativity Matters theme is “invitation.” As we start our year of Creativity Matters sessions\, we’ll explore how we can invite creativity back into our lives when our creative juices have run low\, and how our creativity can invite us to get to know our complex feelings – positive\, negative\, and otherwise. \n\n\n\nProjects of the Month\n\n\n\nWe will have supplies for Project Option A\, B\, and D from the monthly Creativity Matters packet* \n\n\n\n\nJumpstart your creativity with a pocket-sized beauty collection\n\n\n\nInvite imperfection into your creativity with “ugly” art\n\n\n\nExplore the invitation of aging with a modality of your choosing\n\n\n\n\n*Don’t have a copy of this month’s Creativity Matters guide? Sign up to be part of the mailing list or reach out to our Director of Religious Education for a copy! \n\n\n\nWhat is Creativity Matters?\n\n\n\nOur Creativity Matters drop-in group helps community members engage in monthly themes and explore spiritual growth through creative expression. \n\n\n\nIt’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. \n\n\n\nCreativity 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.

SUMMARY:Creativity Matters
DESCRIPTION:Imagination\n\n\n\nMay’s Creativity Matters theme is “Imagination.” Together\, we’ll explore how imagination fuels our creativity by helping us dream up new ideas\, experiment with artistic expression\, and see the world through fresh eyes. Whether through painting\, writing\, movement\, or making something entirely unexpected\, we’ll tap into the playful and powerful ways imagination sparks creative expression. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProjects of the Month\n\n\n\nWe will have supplies for Project Options A and C from the monthly Creativity Matters packet* and for a “What if” collage project: \n\n\n\n\nPut Your Head in the Clouds: Bring your own cloud pictures or pick from our collection. Use your favorite art materials to trace\, add details\, and color in the shapes or characters your imagination uncovers.\n\n\n\nThe Squiggle Game: Created by Donald Winnicott\, this exercise invites you to draw a random squiggle and use your imagination and your favorite art supplies to turn it into something meaningful.\n\n\n\nWhat If Collage: Choose or create a “What if…” prompt to spark your imagination\, such as “What if the sky were made of dreams?” Next\, explore our materials to craft a collage\, adding your own details or drawings to bring your “What if” to life.\n\n\n\n\n*Don’t have a copy of this month’s Creativity Matters guide? Sign up to be part of the mailing list or reach out to our Director of Religious Education for a copy! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is Creativity Matters?\n\n\n\nOur Creativity Matters group helps community members engage in monthly themes and explore spiritual growth through creative expression.  \n\n\n\nIt’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. \n\n\n\nCreativity Matters is a high school and adult group designed for everyone — no experience or artistic skill is required!
