Art-Based Workshops for Creativity 
Creativity begins when the mind is empty--empty of all familiar and known answers and explanations. To be creative is to think like a child and have a beginners mind. Meditation is a discipline that fosters a quiet and creative mind. Meditation stills the mind and relaxes the body, new and novel ideas can then take flight. Another route to creativity is to use paradoxical thinking. Think about objects and ideas in the opposite. If you are stuck with an idea and can't seem to let it loose, just think about all of the qualities of its opposite. New and exciting ideas will develop. | Meditation drawings/collages are a form of extending your meditation to paper. The freedom and playfulness of the right brain will dominate. Any predetermined thinking of the way things should be will be diluted or dissolved. The movement of picking a color or design will be spontaneous and you will flow with your design. It is during this stage of working that new ideas will form and the process of art making will amplify your ideas.
