The Archetypal Creative
Creativity as Aliveness
Creativity is one of the most powerful expressions of life force.
Creative flow is discovered when we are our most uninhibited, authentic, inspired, and present selves.
Everyone is creative- it is our birthright. Remembering your creativity is a process of unlearning many of the limiting belief systems we’ve been taught.
Being creative does not mean that you need to produce art or express creativity in any kind of structured, outcome-oriented way (although it can!)
Creativity is the act of being, thinking, or behaving in ways that attune to ingenuity, unexpected and untraditional methods, resourcefulness, friendly chaos, presencing, following emotions and intuition, having a sense of play and imagination, align with flow and spirit and the natural world and the present moment. We can be creative in our daily lives, in our jobs and relationships, our hobbies and homes, and even in our identities. It’s the way we move through life.
Your creativity is your gift of vitality, not simply a skill or talent- it is the very essence of your aliveness.
The natural world is wildly creative and humans have the same wellspring of creativity within us. In the natural world, creativity is expressed through the elements, the great powers that shape life itself. Water, Wind, Fire, Earth, and Aether.
Creative Archetypes are a way to understand yourself
as a creative person and the ways in which your personal creativity expresses.
In our modern world, creativity is often suppressed, redirected,
or depleted. The first step in remembering your creative power
is understanding how it naturally flows through you.
What if your creative blocks are not about lack of inspiration or talent but rather disconnection from your elemental creative lifeforce?
