creative process
I am interested in creativity because I experience the creative process as the place where people are most alive--as the place where we experience our depth of thought and feeling, find meaning, confront who we are, and experience life energy.
Creativity involves the emergence of deep feeling, ideas, and the experience of soulfulness. Creative process is a very rich place to embody and experience. It can also be an experience in which one feels very vulnerable and exposed. Most people who venture into this terrain do not do so lightly. One needs to be able to have the strength, courage, inner resources, and support to go down into this place and emerge intact.
Creative process is transformative (as is psychotherapy). I think people who do creative work feel called to do their work. It is ultimately rewarding and nourishing.
