Mindful Making

Mindful Making is Creative Fitness. It is taking care and attention with the health, growth and well-being of the creative spirit we all share. We can do it alone, but in groups there is an extra energy.

I've worked out workshops focussed on a different "portals" into the areas of ordinary creativity, personal creativity--- that middle world between the conscious work of daily living and the self-conscious work of making art.

Ordinary Creativity is something we all already practice to some degree.  We have to. We were born "makers" We make a life for ourselves, we make families, friends; we make deals, dinner, mistakes and trouble. Humans Make... and in the tradition of Animism: Things get made through humans. Everything Matters.  Again, Mattering is what humans help the rest of reality do.  There is a language of Mattering.  Things can speak for us. you can learn to listen betterand be a better Maker.      Blah, blah, blah.  

   

If this twisted form of Jungian Archetypal Psychology and Practical Animism is really true, then I should not need words, words and more words to make it so.  This is why I am doing a series of short, 2-hr, introductory workshops...     I find that 2 hours is just enough time to start people off on this crooked path.
