The Creative Encounter
We require no particular experiential background, creed, value system, or social status of our Creative Encounter Colloquium participants.
If you seek to reconnect with the Source of Creativity, eliminate blocks to authenticity and invite transformation, the Saturday Creative Encounter colloquium, at the Center for Creative Learning will provide you with the guidance, time, place and safety.
The half-day, relatively short, three to four hour, Creative Encounter will invite spontaneity, playfulness and manageable risk taking. It will also open the conduit to your creative Source and potential.
The full-day, seven to eight hour, Creative Encounter also invites spontaneity, playfulness and manageable risk taking and will go a bit deeper.
Similar, in theory, to the Native American vision quest; we design Creative Encounters with the intention of opening a time for retreating from the world of others so that we may delve into our inner dimensions undisturbed by the world as as we believe it exists. We invite the subconscious to express itself fully; in the spirit of discovery.
The Creative Encounter allows time for sharing our discoveries, having these same discoveries affirmed by our companions, and for reentering the world with new insights and our creative nature refreshed.
We know we have addressed the deep resources of the subconscious mind as well as our authentic emotions when we begin to create things, sounds, images, objects, arrangements, and gestures; without need of knowing the meaning or even the why of the creating.
After an authentic Creative Encounter we begin discovering the metaphoric value of our creations which yield up the meaning of our experience.
We do this not as an egoistic display of talents. We simply seek to discover our original, authentic selves and connect with our Source of Creativity.
Just as a seed seeks heat, light and moisture to transform into the flower; we seek time and space to explore our creative nature; which expresses our subconscious. We all need Creative Encounters in order to bloom; to create, express and manifest our authentic potential.
What to bring?
Wear clothes you don't mind soiling with art materials.
Optional (yet helpful):
Musical instruments, flutes, drums, bells, anything that makes a beautiful sound - bring it along.
In preparation for the Encounter: begin to tune into objects and materials which you encounter, before Saturday, and bring them along; things which seem to request, however subtly, your closer scrutiny. Don't ask why. Just pick it up and put it in your Creative Encounter bag. It may be a leaf, a stone, a piece of fabric, a feather, an image, a note of an idea or emotion, or all of the above. Yes, you can put one of those laughs and/or a tear in a bag.
Wishing to find
a word not burdened
with cultural weight,
and a lovely word as well.
I found
“colloquium”.
An informal meeting
for the exchange
of views.
Perfect.
Let the exchange of views begin.
