Creativity Retreat (Endless Possibilities)

Inner child exploration: playing with coloured pencils.

What if you are way more talented than you thought you were? What if life can’t wait to reveal wonderful things to you? What if something is waiting to come into being, but it can only happen through you? What if your thinking is too limited in terms of resources, opportunities and everything possible? What if…..

Are you the proud owner of a pulse? Then you are creative. And it has to do with much more than paint on canvas, clay on wheel or wood chips around your feet.

Too many people struggle with the word creativity. You can almost be certain that by hearing it they conjure up images of painters in paint smeared overcoats standing in front of large easels with a beret perched sideways on the head. Or even worse, someone wandering the street, one-eared and tormented. They give it one look and decide it’s not for them. In any case, the closest they’ll ever come to drawing is the drawing up of papers and contracts. They are not creative.

We beg to differ.

CREATIVITY MEANS BEING A UNIQUE OPEN CHANNEL FOR THE FREE FLOW OF ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES

Now look at just how open-ended it is! In terms of medium, opportunity and person.

The creativity retreat was developed to remove those obstacles that are blocking the way between you and endless possibilities.

You will discover in the course of a weekend in a playful and carefree manner what your inner child (your soul, your essence) needs to feel alive. Through basic mindfulness techniques you learn how to be the unique channel for that which God dreams for you. (A clue at this point: those activities that make you totally oblivious of time and place while you’re busy doing it; that which you enjoyed doing as a child; or that which you will regard as too good to be true if you could do it all day long…. Start dreaming!)

By making these basic elements part of your daily life all aspects of your life is being touched. You have the experience of a bigger involvement in your own life, a deeper connection with something or Someone benevolent and expansive that is actively and visibly at work in your life. This new perspective leads to a feeling of self-worth, more energy, creativity and productivity. You are alive.

No art experience or background is required. No big art is going to be created. It is a weekend of carefree discovery in a small-group setting within beautiful and stimulating surroundings.

The retreat is guided by George and Matilda Angus (Meet us) in a small group context.

Skuld as Motivering Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek ~ ❖ ~ "I am convinced that guilt and shame are never from God. They are merely the defenses of the False Self as it is shocked at its own poverty — the defenses of a little man who wants to be a big man. God leads by compassion toward the soul, never by condemnation. If God would relate to us by severity and punitiveness, God would only be giving us permission to do the same (which is tragically, due to our mistaken images of God, exactly what has happened!)." Richard Rohr ~ ❖ ~ "It is about as hard to absolve yourself of your own guilt as it is to sit in your own lap. Wrongdoing sparks guilt sparks wrongdoing ad nauseam, and we all try to disguise the grim process from both ourselves and everybody else. In order to break the circuit we need friends before whom we can put aside the disguise, trusting that when they see us for what we fully are, they won't run away screaming w...
