Intentional Creativity Philosophy

My experience is that Intentional Creativity is one of the most profound and potent ways to awaken my inner world. Creativity is magic and a medicine for the soul allowing me to reclaim my image and actually shape an identity that reflects more of who I desire to be.

Intentional creativity methods are a holistic way of living. These methods have the ability to sooth our hearts and soul by expressing authentic paintings with symbols and imagery. Our ancestors’ historic stories and have shown us the value of baring your soul and digesting your past traumas, even traumas from your own ancestors into your paintings. To find your true self through Intentional Creativity is empowering and loving yourself exactly as you are. Intentional Creativity includes inhabiting your whole field of vision, your body, all your senses, sexual organs, skin, your soul, and heart.

 

Intentional Creativity philosophy has four main pillars:

  1. Love is the center of this philosophy.
  2. The process begins with belonging, connection, witnessing, sharing. These acts become a toolbox where we learn how to begin our transformation.
  3. Metacognitive Drawing is a critical tool of discovery.
  4. Imagination: Your mind becomes free to envision a promise of a better future.

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” – Albert Einstein

Meditation, free writing and of course painting are the bedrock of this philosophy’s activities.

Intentional Creativity expands our awareness, bringing our attention to reflect on our perceived archetypes and belief systems. These activities can connect us to our own lineage as well as how to build communities we desire to belong to.

Intentional Creativity is given to all human beings, it belongs to our community www.musea.org.

All human beings are creative. We are beings, not doers. My teacher and mentor, Shiloh Sophia, passed on these teachings, on how to access my inner world and become coherent with my own authentic voice, find-ing my gifts that are uniquely mine. These tools have healed the fragmentation from my inner and outer world, my inner and outer eye.

My ultimate goal is to share my gift with the world and to give back in service to the world community. I am living my dream as an artist and teacher, empowered to stand in my own sovereignty and authorship.

Intentional Creativity showed me an effective tool to use. They are easy to apply and to work with. The missing piece in my prior coaching career and work was IC because it is a visual language process. In 1971, Albert Mehrabian, a professor at UCLA, published a book called Silent Messages. He claimed that 93 per-cent of what we say to people, we say without words; more specifically, 55 percent of communication is done through body language and 38 percent through tone, with spoken language only 7%.
