Three (Free) Audio Talks on Creativity
Image mine, taken @Spirit Rock
I know that we don’t all identify as “artists” but this is a followup to my previous posts on using creativity for healing and for the joy of it. We all are creative in some area of life-even if it’s unexpressed at present. These two talks are from a retreat on: Meditation and the Spirit of Creativity held at Spirit Rock Meditation Center in California. One is by a writer, one by a visual artist and one by a yoga teacher talking about awareness in the body. They are hosted at the site http://dharmaseed.org/.
