What is Creativity?

What is Creativity?

I cringe when someone tells me, “I don’t have a creative bone in my body.” If you weren’t creative, you would have no bones… you’d be dead. This is the truth. Plain and simple. Your body needs creativity to function.  I’m not saying you have to do an oil painting or draw your dog. I’m stating the fact that your body is constantly creating, every day, 24/7, 100% of the time.

What is Creativity? An Interview with Carisa Holmes

I met Carisa Holmes at the Center for Spiritual Living. The first time I experienced her creative magic is when she was the guest performer.

The Mandala Guidebook Book Review

The Mandala Guidebook Book Review

Here’s a wonderful book that makes a perfect companion to my book, Activate Divine Creativity, The Life-Changing Magic of the Mandala. I have been studying and creating mandalas since 2000. There are quite a few good books available, however I have found most of them are either way to dense and academic, or are full of what look like computer generated mandalas to color.
