My day began in a very different way.
Arriving at Guy Cliffe House in Warwick for the Creating Creativity workshop was certainly an inspiring start. Wild plants weave and work their magic through this forgotten house, once filled with love then doom and sadness. This haunting ruin with its dark cavern and places to explore, whereupon opening a door leads you through to a once loved room with an iron grated fireplace and huge gothic windows.
This workshop facilitated by Claire Louise offers so much. It’s about creative freedom and digging deep inside your soul. I learnt to believe in myself, to literally throw doubt out and get rid of negative emotions that have been blocking me for years. Claire has this amazing power of unleashing your vision. There are no boundaries or constraints. She offered a safe haven where I got to connect and work with like-minded creatives, who listened and cared.
So this is me now. I will listen to my heart, not think too much, breath and take a step back.
A heartfelt thank you, Claire.
