Creating together.
(Food for thought.)
One of my favorite things to do when my kids were young was to create opportunities for connections with our friends where we didn’t have to watch the clock. We could ride the wave of time wherever it took us, all the while in the present where creativity lives. There was peace and harmony in those long days I have realized I look back now that my kids have grown older.
Once I started the studio I wanted to keep that wave of timelessness present in my recipe for what CReATE STUDIO was to become and it’s still that important today, 8.5 years in.
I have realized over the last two decades that time spent creating with others, together makes similar harmony and presence which actually makes the space for connection. I have heard it said that creativity grows when shared.
It’s still really nice when we don’t have to rush, when we can be in the now, together. Technology is not really suited for this kind of connecting so I think unplugging is the way to go. I way I see it is technology is about the past and the future, it can’t really live in now unless it’s lifestream, but is that present? Seems to me even that is setting up ideals for the not right now.
Spending time together creating a story or a sand castle or a fort are true unplugged moments that will sear into your memories and build the moments that become the life you share with people you love. Creating together is just right for any age and all ages together. I think that’s why we all like vacations so much.
I hope to create a sense of mini vacation time when you visit the studio, that timelessness that is so delicious and so free. Come and play.
