Creative Retreats… what will I intent to teach? (And therefore learn)

This morning, I was reflecting on what I am truly teaching these people and the universe about creativity. I think that creativity is made from attention to the present moment and not judging anything you do; not judging allows for Real Communication to happen. It allows for Silence to teach Its message.

There are no words, patterns, colors, or shapes involved, as they mean nothing—just images. Yet Communication is everything. Honest creativity coming from real silence will guide you, inspire you, and make you smile. It is an eternal space of freedom.

Creativity is the ultimate freedom, a place where you can endlessly play and have fun. And that is about it.

Olga has nothing to add.

Allow yourself to elevate to a state devoid of personal purpose or direction, avoiding interference from the past and the mind chatter; hear the music, listen to the book, the rain, or the cars going by. Allow the endless process of surrendering to whatever emerges. Just focus your mind somewhere else. And let it happen.

Follow a trail, listen to the music, a guitar tune, a singing voice, and get into complex compositions to take your mind over.  Allow painting to flow deeply into the paper; surrender to the colors, play with them. Take all solemnity out of it. You are not the painter; you are just a tool to be used by Life to teach endlessly about Beauty and Freedom. Let it Be. It is Love.

Then, should I say that I am here to teach people to go back to being children? It is incredibly presumptuous, isn’t it?

No, that is not it.

They are not going back; they are beginning a way to see Life for the first time at every glimpse. Be in the present moment not to miss the breathtaking show of here and now. The sounding guitar, the texture of rusted metal, the miracle of color wherever it is found. Here and Now. And let the body act as it does. Surrender. No judgment, no interpretation: Let it Be.

Open up to a different view coming out of your hands and perceptions. You are in your mind, and when you surrender, Life shows itself in an astounding celebration of joy.

Everything loves you.
