We are surrounded by examples of creative genius — Albert Einstein, William Shakespeare, Georgia O'Keeffe, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart — and yet creativity exists all around. We watch an athlete explore the limits of the body at the Olympics; a grandmother crafts a Halloween costume for a grandchild; a husband makes a special meal for his wife’s birthday. It is all part of the creative process, making something new with the unique skills and passions we bring to the act.

When we are expressing ourselves through our creativity, we feel inspired and engaged. We challenge ourselves by finding a new and improved way to accomplish a task, by learning a new skill, by using our social skills to improve a relationship, or by overcoming obstacles through creative problem solving.

What if we began to claim creativity as our own, not as a big new project, but as a natural way of being? Join us to discover creative opportunities that inspire a sacred shift moving the ordinary to the extraordinary, one moment at a time. "Infusing Your Life with Creativity," a new e-course by leaders from Sage-ing International, will bring you 12 emails, scheduled at a pace that you choose. Each contains new topics to inspire you and suggestions for you to practice.

The course will explore these themes and more:

  • Moving from Worry to Wonder
  • With a Light Touch: Creative Play and Comic Vision
  • Tools and Methods to Spark Your Creativity
  • Creativity as a Contemplative Practice
  • A Creative State of Mind
  • What Calls Us to Be Creative?
