Creativity Coaching

 
Whether you are at the beginning of your journey to connect or re-connect with your Creativity or a seasoned Artist, Creativity Coaching can be helpful at every stage of the creative life. As a Creativity Coach I can support you in numerous ways that can have a positive impact on your creativity: we can address practical, existential, economic or spiritual aspects, specific issues such as time-management or broader themes such as lack of confidence, low self-esteem, burn-out, or loss of meaning. Do you feel you want to connect again with your creative source but don’t know how? Are you painting regularly but have recently reached a point where painting has felt stale? Have you always felt that there is a novel somewhere hidden inside of you, but you just don’t know how to make a start? Did you use to do your own creative work but gave it up because of other commitments, disappointment, rejection or other reasons and do you want to get back on the horse but don’t know quite how? Have you finished a project and worry how you will ever create something else again? Have you come up against an obstacle or block in your art-practice or creative life that stalls you and that you would like to tackle? Would you like to work deeper, more regularly and more committed in your art-practice? Do you dream of painting, writing, singing performing but doubt that it is worth starting as you don’t see yourself as a ‘real artist’ and ‘anyway it is too late’? Any of these and many other scenarios could be a starting point for a coaching session. We can explore patterns that might hinder you in fulfilling your creative ambitions, work towards unblocking, engage in effective project-planning and celebrate your achievements. The magical journey from a caterpillar to a butterfly has always fascinated me. It is the NATURE of the caterpillar to grow into a butterfly and it is a matter of time and the right nourishment for this transformation to occur. In my own creative recovery and in Creativity Coaching with clients, I have witnessed this journey again and again and I believe that, with the right conditions, an unfolding of our creative Selves can happen in spite of the difficulties or obstacles that we are grappling with. We can either work on a one- to one basis at WILDWING, or I am also offering Coaching as individual support online and via phone.

Her wise and thoughtful questions and insights helped me to see things in a different light, guided me back to my creative self and helped me grow creatively as well as personally”. Katrin Stehle, Writer, Berlin  ‘ Every blade of grass has an Angel that bends down and whispers: ’Grow, grow!’ TALMUD BOOKS about the Creative Process and Creative Recovery which I found inspiring and helpful: ‘A Director Prepares- Seven Essays on Art and Theatre’ Anne Bogart Bogart explores seven areas as partner and obstacle to art-making: violence, memory, terror, eroticism, stereotype, embarrassment and resistance. She speaks candidly of the courage required to create ‘art with great presence’. Although speaking from the position of a director, I found her wisdom transferable to the creative process. ‘To Reach the Clouds- My High Wire Walk Between the Twin Towers’ Philippe Petite An utterly beautiful book about a man’s daring dream and his long and determined journey to make it happen. Books by Julia Cameron: ‘The Artist’s Way- A Course in Discovering and Recovering your Creative Self’ ‘Walking in This World- Practical Strategies for Creativity’ ‘Finding Water- The Art of Perseverance’ The last in a trilogy of books on the creative process. ‘The Sound of Paper’ Essays on the Creative Process ‘The Right to Write’- Julia Cameron on the process of Writing ‘Letters to a Young Artist- Building a Life in Art’ Other books: The Creativity Book- A Year’s worth of Inspiration and Guidance’ Eric Maisel see also www.ericmaisel.com ‘Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway’ by Susan Jeffers Practical advice for getting past fears On Writing: ‘Writing Down the Bones- Freeing the Writer within’ Nathalie Goldberg Beautiful, funny, spiritual and hands on book on writing; ‘Bird by Bird- Some Instructions on Writing and Life’ Anne Lamott A funny, inspiring and helpful book about writing and the creative process ;Talks.htmlhttp://www.ericmaisel.comshapeimage_4_link_0shapeimage_4_link_1
