Goodbye February. Hello March 2020.
Hand washing month, and Lent.
Two years ago, at a residential workshop, I saw how fast a virus can travel. In 12 hours more than three quarters of the group were writhing in the loo.
Had we all known this was coming, certainly hand washing would have been imperative. I was one of the few who didn't get it. My room mate did.
I'm washing my hands very frequently these days. Are you ?

Creativity. What's going on in the studio? Not very much, yet.
I'm in limbo. In that 'liminal stage' once again. That means being ' in between ' what has been created in January and February ( in my head heart and studio), and what's about to come next.
Drawings have been on pause these past two months. Just one arrived.
I'm trusting the 6th sense more and more.
Appreciating everything more and more.

Dream ask believe receive. I do. I am.
Latvia.
An artists residency (I hope) in August 2020, in a town called Aizpute.
This is where many of my Jewish ancestors lived, I think in the 1800's.
Another DNA test is in the post.
Hoping, longing to find actual names of Latvian ancestors.
To say I am extremely excited about this project is an understatement.
Buzzing with excitement as I search for flights.

My inner compass is definitely pointing towards the Baltic again.
It's that inner knowing I can't argue with. Gotta go.

There's so much exciting stuff to share with you. So many inspiring stories to tell. But, I know you live busy lives. So my intention is to keep all my posts short now, and to encourage your creativity as much with the images as with words.
How about we all wash our hand 20 times a day and apply Deepak Chopra's sensible advice on keeping clear of the virus? Then we can allow new ideas to flood our hearts and minds. New creative ideas which connect us to our highest potential. Creativity and fear do not gel. We all owe it to ourselves to be the best we can be, whatever creative path we follow. We are living in challenging times.
So, I'm offering new retreats.
Do you want to meet your most creative self this summer? Tame your inner critic? Reset your inner compass. Rest and recharge in awesome nature close to mountains, a river, the sea. Transform your procrastination into a flow of creativity. Explore your shamanic self, deepen your spiritual connection... eat organic food, start and end each day with sacred music?
If the answer is yes, come and have a life changing week in Spain with me, my creative artist healer friends, Nature, silence and sunshine.
'Every great change is preceded by chaos. The unknown is the only place where there is creativity.'
Deepak Chopra.
Untangle your creativity ?
