More recruits!

Hi, just a quick post to say that my husband is working through the Artist's Way with my brother-from-another-mother, Scott, and my friend Oreste! And they have been kind enough to let me moderate their meetings, which is really inspiring since I'd like to teach/lead this kind of work in the future~ I love the idea of helping people access their creative potential!

Here are some highlights from their first meeting:
When they miss morning pages (a daily writing assignment- 3 pages of stream of conciousness), they are required to make up the missing pages. (Emily and I are way easier on ourselves about this, but I think it is a strong choice that shows their commitment!

Oreste described creativity as an ocean, and the internal censor as a fisherman deciding which ideas to keep or throw back. Very compelling imagery~ Can you tell he's a poet? ;)

Dave got some amazing validation from Scott and Oreste when he shared his feeling that he's not as productive as he'd like to be.

Scott introduced the tradition of sharing one meaningful thing to take with you at the end of the meeting. It gave me chills!

I'll be posting highlights from my meetings with Em as well, but since we are three weeks in, I'm mostly trying to just catch up the blog so I can update in real time.
