Get Unreal: A Writing Exercise
Are you a fiction writer? Do you struggle making your written word as real as possible? Does your story need to be realistic? Can this way of thinking squash your imagination?

The Secret (and Very Creative) Life of Puppets
Nurturing young children's creativity is a big job. Fortunately, we have cleverly written stories with gorgeous illustrations, recordings of beautiful and exciting music, and all kinds of props and costumes to help us stir children's imaginations. And for me, the most powerful partners in promoting creative thinking are my fabulous puppet friends.

Are You Highly Creative?
Consider just a few of the 15 questions:

Have you been told you "think too much" or are "too much of a perfectionist"?
Do/did your school teachers berate you for daydreaming or staring out the window?
Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by the numerous ideas and projects you generate?
Have you been told you are "too sensitive"?

Angi Sullins : Rekindle Your Creativity Video Workshop Series

Flaming Muse Rekindle Your Creativity Video Workshop

By Angi Sullins

Humans are divinely related to the Muse. To be human is to wonder, experience and create. The very act of breathing is a prelude to creativity, as the word inspire literally means 'to inhale, to breathe, to animate.' Right now, at this very moment, you are engaged in inspiration, the question is, do you know it? Rekindle your connection to the Muse with this 4-part video series into the realm of inspiration. It's time to fan the flames.

Watch the Rekindle Your Creativity Workshop trailer (at the top of this page) and then enjoy each 20-40 minute session described below. Video links to Fanning the Flames, Ash, Flame, and The Hearth follow.

Sessions

Flaming Muse Session 1 Session 1: FANNING THE FLAMES
Video 38:30 Minutes
Inspiration and creativity as birthright. Learning to embrace the muse in all her guises. Whether you're an artist facing a creative block, or a dreamer just starting out on a creative path or someone who feels there has to be more to life than waking, going to bed, paying bills, and surviving, your 're in good company. We're all about life as art. (July 2011)

Session 2: ASH
Video 23:35 Minutes
Pain and suffering as kindling. We have so many opportunities to delve into the ash of our experience and sometimes we don't have the inner will or fortification of our being to allow us to go into the ash of our experience safely. (August 2011)

Session 3: FLAME
Video 32:30 Minutes
Passion and pleasure as kindling. This is where we're deep in the red, hot, fiery, flaming realm of the muse as she kindles our life with passion and play. (September 2011)

Session 4: THE HEARTH
Video 26:29 Minutes
Everyday life as kindling for the muse. When we see through the lenses of wild inclusion nothing is left out. This is about seeing all the aspects of ourselves as having a place. Wholeness is akin to holiness. (October 2011)
