New Year New Creativity
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.
We're exploring how we can return our creativity it to its rightful place and we'd like to invite you to join us for:
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.
We explored our creative identities and found out some surprising things about the things we're drawn to and why. After a an exploration of our creativity and what we might need to nurture it, both in ourselves and in others, we took part in a beautiful mediation that connected us to the earth and to the city and people around us.
We rounded off the evening with more tea and Abundance speed dating - short bursts of sharing our creative needs and wishes with our neighbours..
Thank you to everyone!

“ Good to meet a few new creatives and hear a little about who they are and their aspirations. Did a couple of thoughtful exercises - hope to more next time. Lovely venue. â€

“ Quite profound if one is willing to look below the surface of ones actions or non actions around creativity. The part about waste use of time and energy was an out moment, but the exercise was broad enough for me to see that I was trying to do something creative, albeit inefficiently with these actions â€
