why creativity?

Of all the Life Skills We Facilitate, Why Creativity?

Creative practices lead us to curiosity.
Curiosity helps us practice beginner's mind.

Beginner's mind reminds us to loosen our grip on expectations.
Being free from expectations can orient us to child-like wonder.

Child-like wonder can make us more aware and grateful.
Being grateful can give us renewed energy to face challenges.
Energy to face challenges increases our awareness.

Awareness about our challenges helps us break unhealthy patterns.
Breaking unhealthy patterns with creativity helps us see new options.

Imagining new ways to support our needs and values gives us inspiration.
Inspiration fuels us to develop healthier patterns and choices.

Healthier patterns and choices better support our needs and values.
Having our needs and values supported brings us satisfaction.

All of these have happened in our monthly gathering we call Creative Cafe.
