Creative inspirations come in many ways. Sometimes they are elusive willow-the-wisps, dancing just out of reach. Other times they make themselves known in our hearts and minds with the force of a nuclear explosion.
Either way the challenge is how to bring them into this dense physical reality that can be so resistant to our efforts. Sometimes it feels like trying to put a nuclear explosion in a teacup.
It just won’t fit. Even if we somehow managed to get it in there, the teacup would instantaneously be obliterated.
This conundrum bedevils creative folks in every walk of life. Artists carry a particularly turbulent notoriety about these issues, but everyone else struggles with the very same difficulties.
This is the human condition. How do we translate our dreams and visions into practical physical reality? We live on the knife-edge of the interface between the soul and the physical and feel an enormous abyss yawning below us.
The dilemma has led me to create a new way of teaching the creative process itself. My approach is actually two classes rolled into one workshop.
In the mornings you will learn energy processes, the new CCT Earth Healing class, needed to protect your own creative energies and how to heal any interference and distortions in those energies. You will powerfully transform your perception of creativity and how to work with it. This transformation results in a new understanding of your own creative purpose and power.
In the afternoons you will practice creating in this transformed way. After you learn it, the process can be applied to any creative activity you choose. As I am an artist, I will teach painting in the afternoons as an exercise in directly applying these creative energies.
This would be quite enough to accomplish in one workshop, but I do not stop there. We have the gift of living on an incredibly beautiful living planet. We are physically part and parcel of this lovely Earth. After all, were we not created from the dust of the Earth?
Without troubling you with the details, scientists and religious people alike agree that all life is interconnected, ultimately woven into an amazing tapestry where each of us affects all the rest. It is our calling and our opportunity to each bring our own unique gifts to share in this great web of life.
This means, in surprisingly practical terms, that when we heal ourselves, we heal the Earth. It means when we transform ourselves, we transform the Earth. It means that when we create with joyous inspiration and power, we bring that joyous inspiration and power to the Earth.
So that is what we will be doing in this new workshop. What could possibly be more fun?

The first unveiling of this new workshop will be at the Earth Healing Montana Retreat in February of 2011.
