All living things consume. Plants need nutrients, minerals, sunlight and water to grow. Animals need food and water to grow and to reproduce, but they only take what they need day by day, or store food for long winters. Throughout much of human history, we were the same, living hand to mouth, and yet over time we learnt to use tools and to work together to create more comfortable and enduring ways of life.
Live to Create has been a meetup group for 1 year!
We believe in creating not consuming - make the shift with creative living.
Please join us for an evening of celebration, creative connections and discussions for our future!
The venue is fabulous whole food cafe that serves food at very reasonable prices - 30% off alcohol, juices and smoothies 6-8pm.
Please book at www.meetup.com/livetocreate.
Our past sessions have used a combination of participation and personal exploration to move us from consumer to creator.

We've enjoyed the past few meetups so much and think that before we move on to the next session in the series, it's time to give back.
If you are an activist, teacher, carer or healer, this session is free! (donations welcome from others please.)
Our creativity is an important part of our everyday lives and yet is neglected, demeaned and for many of us something we are made to feel is a luxury. Even those of us in the creative industries may be locked into uncreative patterns by our preconceptions and the ideas of others.
Thank you to those of you who've attended our workshops in the past. We hope you'll enjoy our revised format and venue..

- Introduction - us to you and you to us
Our creativity is an important part of our everyday lives and yet is neglected, demeaned and for many of us something we are made to feel is a luxury. Even those of us in the creative industries may locked into uncreative patterns by our preconceptions and the ideas of others.

On the 16th of January 2008 we met at Time For Tea in Shoreditch.
Though it was cold outside we soon warmed up and by sharing our creative ideas found threads in common.
Though the smallest gathering so far, this may well have been the one that raised the most passionate responses in all those taking part.
in the first half of the evening we split into two groups to explore the pros and cons of all working by yourself and working in a team respectively. What was interesting was that one group really closely followed the facilitators suggestion, and looked for the negative and positive sides of certain aspects, whereas the other went for a much more organic approach and explored possibilities of working together in a very imaginative and light-hearted way.
Right now as a society we are engaged the biggest gamble of all time, a bet that the global warming canaries are wrong, climate change is all natural and inevitable and that there's nothing we can or should do.
We already have more extreme weather events in the last 20 years than in recorded history. There are natural weather cycles, but the changes are now so rapid and so unpredictable that our economies and our ability to feed ourselves is at risk, both here and in developing countries.
Our creativity is an important part of our everyday lives and yet is neglected, demeaned and for many of us something we are made to feel is a luxury.
We’re exploring how we can return creativity it to its rightful place and we’d like to invite you to join us.
We believe you’ll enjoy exploring this topic with us in an informal way, and it will also help us as we develop in the future.
