Creativity Gym...creating the life & biz you love...colourfully

Aside from our 2nd chakra being our centre for creative energy, everything about chakras spells creativity for me.  They each have a frequency, an associated colour and each represent several types of energy that in turn relate to our characteristics, feelings and even personalities!  Each one can be optimised and kept healthy, balanced and radiant.  This in turn creates a beautiful ability to develop who we are through movement, art forms, self expression and reflective processes like medita...

So, it's officially my coldest day this winter, and despite being indoors, under a divine blanket with the aircon on full blast, I am feeling the freeze.  While I check my mail, unsubscribe from more spam, and tap into a few online circles I'm a part of, I also have a feeling that a blog is in order.  It's been brewing, like a good pit of divine smelling coffee.
And so, here it is.  Tapping away on plastic, my fingers find a rhythm that creates a stream of action between my thoughts and you.  ...

So I guess this is the point of why I started Creativity Gym and what I know keeps me going: my life is one big expression of my spirit...and who else will know how that needs to look except me - from my inside out?!  So, it needs to be an untuitive, self-lead journey, and with that idea in mind, I set out to explore my inner and outer world ...creatively. 

I am continuously amazed at where the adventure leads, when I give myself more and more permission to express my fullest self, my most se...

I am realising that the power of developing our intuition reaps rewards at every level.  We all long for success in our personal and professional lives, and the practice of intuitive art is showing me how we're able to transform under performing areas into creative oases that flow and grow.  What's outstanding to me is that the process of creating these changes has been enjoyable, meaningful, fulfilling and relatively effortless.  The energy I used to spend on other more traditional technique...

I am so aware of my "tribe" out there in the world thanks to the internet. I am meeting and learning from people who are spiritual creatives just like me, many of whom really skilled at business too and who are carving such beautiful niches in their markets. I am inspired!
The work I have been doing lately is so gentle and uplifting, I am wondering if I have finally created that place I have longed for: doing what I love every day and really being rewarded well for it.
At the end of m...

Well, it feels like I'm ripe and ready for a new post.  Much has been happening in my studio and my life, and here's where I have an opportunity to share it with you! 

The last weekend of studio classes and workshops was brilliant.  We started with Visual Art Journaling, slipped in a little Soul Painting, and ended with a moving Chakra Painting experience.  I absolutely loved every minute of it.

The feedback every time I give a session is remarkable.  I am always moved by how people are transf...

Well, I did a count today, and am amazed at the number of classes and attendances Creativity Gym has had since 25th July.  I was going to post them on their own, which got me thinking - how quick I am to "measure progress" by so called hard metrics.  Meanwhile, it's not the numbers that are the reason I feel moved to keep the studio open this coming year.  It's the love :-)  But here they are anyway, for everyone who loves metrics too: 4 months, 536 fans on facebook, 148 studio attendances, 4...

I have long thought that improved creativity can lead to more powerful results when developing business strategy, new sales and building companies.  The deeper I delve into both, the more clarity I have on why this is the case.  Essentially, you need the same core foundation, or inner perspective, in order to be successful at both.  There's a myth that "Right Brain", creativity, interpersonal work and the like are all in the domain of "soft skills".  If that's true, why do the vast majority i...

So who doesn't want to get the benefit of colour in their life as fully as possible if you're creative, intuitive and wanting to develop yourself? That's my thinking anyhow, and I've added a few new tools to the studio this weekend to make it easier and more delicious for our classes and workshops to "work". Red is the colour for your energy, grounding and enthusiasm. It can shift stuck energy and release anger, irritation and frustration! Use for protection and creating an abundance of wh...
