WEEK ONE: OPENING TO NEW IDEAS
In this first class, we’ll look at the well-established link between Mindfulness and Creativity. We’ll take a look at common socially constructed hindrances to creativity and begin to understand some of the ruts we fall in. Through mindfulness of breath and creativity exercises, we’ll learn to let go of judgment and other restraints, allowing the flow of life—including creative ideas—to flourish.

WEEK TWO: OPENING TO IMPERMANENCE
Learn how creativity and much of our happiness is hindered by habitual thoughts and beliefs that we cling to. Our mindfulness practice in this class helps to retrain our brain, bringing awareness of how we get attached to unhealthy habitual thoughts and empowering us to disentangle from their grip. Our creativity exercise will build on this new spaciousness while creating an intuitive work from an open heart space.

WEEK THREE: OPENING TO INSIGHT
This final session digs into accessing the wisdom and creativity that resides deep inside each one of us. Through training in Insight Meditation and an ancient art practice that has been used for thousands of years, we learn to see our personal truth with greater clarity and compassion. This insight will help you integrate creative, heart-centered engagement in all that you do.
