THE WHEEL OF CREATIVITY®

We all have good reasons to ignore our creative longings.

Five Top Reasons

1. “I don’t have time to be creative; I have to make a living.”
2. “I would love to explore my creativity, but all my energy goes to more important things.”
3. “I can’t afford to get creative; but I don’t have money for supplies.”
4. “I would love to [fill in the blank], but I’m afraid to try.”
5. “I admire creative people, but I’m not one of them. I have no talent.”

We invest ourselves in the day-to-day demands of our lives and complain powerlessly about the status quo. Not enough time. Not enough energy. Not enough money. Not enough courage. Not enough talent.

So we live with our dreams still sleeping and our visions unrealized. Books are never written. Businesses are never created. Children are never born. Partners are out there still.

Creativity is no luxury in life. The flow of the creative force is as essential to human beings as sun, air, water and soil to plants. It flows when we say yes to it, and we grow strong and happy and purposeful. When we say no, we lose our connection with Life itself, and we suffer.

Our lives are one-way streets. We wait for the perfect time; what we get instead is older, weaker, poorer, more tired and more fearful. We live with the consequences of our choices.

But our reasons have antidotes.

Five Antidotes

1. “I am more engaged and effective at work, because I work creatively.”
2. “I have abundant energy, because all my challenges are creative opportunities.”
3. “I am generating income through my creative gifts, and loving what I do.”
4. “I have shed the restrictions of my fear by taking small creative steps.”
5. “I admire creative people, and I am learning to acknowledge my own talents.”

Easy. Not really. It takes time and energy and courage – and money and talent, to some degree – to change the Status Quo. We need to be inspired and encouraged, and sometimes held accountable. We need the support of others along the way. But life is an altogether different experience when we choose to Live Creative. We cannot afford not to listen to what our hearts are telling us.

“Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.”  (John Wolfgang von Goethe)

It’s easy enough to say yes and to start the flow. Take a moment, after the period, to listen to your heart. Now. What are you longing for? Share it now.

“Life is a sacred process.  What is yours asking from you now?”

In just two weeks, I will begin a new coaching group based on the principles of The Wheel of Creativity. The first Wheel of Creativity Creative Process Group of 2011 will take place in Nice, France, every Wednesday night, March 16-June 15, 2011*, from 19:00 to 21:30.

The Wheel of Creativity Creative Process Group will help you:

• Produce the outcomes in life that flow from your innermost essence
• Increase your capacity to live in the power of the creative process
• Strengthen your connection with the life force that flows through you all the time
• Come to know yourself more intimately than ever before
• Take your place in the adventure of life’s great unfolding

The Wheel of Creativity is a map of the creative journey, developed by Katherine Robertson-Pilling. This group is the guided tour, using your own life as the landscape. Ultimately, the journey is always made alone. But here you will find a community of fellow travelers and the guidance of one who knows the way.

Each of you comes to this group with your own destination. You may or may not know the next step. The Wheel of Creativity is a practical framework for creating what is next for you in life. It could be a new creative project, a new business, a new career, a new way of life. Or it could be something you’ve been working on without success. The Wheel of Creativity enables you to engage with the natural creative cycles of Life, not only to create something new in the world, but also to transform yourself through the process.

“For more than 10 years, I have been researching and developing a methodology to use the creative process as a means to personal transformation. The result is The Wheel of Creativity.This group offers a select group of people the opportunity to put these principles to work in their day-to-day lives to create the projects and the lives they dream of.”
