Do you hear the call to creativity? Some of us yearn to paint, draw, sculpt, sing, or dance but won’t try for fear of failing. Others were once artists but stopped creating after their work was shamed by others, which caused a creativity wound.
 
In Awakening Creativity, author, artist, and creativity coach Carrie Schmitt invites you on a sacred pilgrimage to heal your wounds and unlock your creative potential. In each chapter, you will travel to a different “temple,” exploring a creative theme through stories of famous artists and spiritual traditions from around the world. Every stop on your journey includes exercises and reflections designed to deepen your connection with your inner artist. As you travel, you will create your own guidebook, which will become a treasured collection of devotional readings, blessings, artwork, and the revelations you experience along the way.
 
Many of us have at some time or another said, “I’m just not that creative.” Schmitt fervently believes that this is not true. There is a creative spirit in everyone, just waiting to be acknowledged. With Awakening Creativity, you can learn to embrace yours.
