Since our group is about the creative process, it would be fun to have a meeting where we focus directly on creativity in a personal, experiential way --- by talking about one of our favorite creative projects. It may be your first or biggest creative product or it could be a creative experience that transformed the way you think -- something concrete yet seminal to your life or in the way you think.
Talk about when it happened, how your saw your creation take form, the excitement of birthing something new and unique. Describe transforming raw materials into an artistic truth, molding working materials into what's seen in the imagination's eye.
Talk about the magic moment when your vision took form -- the gestalt from frustration to bliss. Do you remember that first moment that changed things, when you realized you can do it? Talk about it.
Bring the work that started it all, and hold it in front of the group as you speak. Could be a painting, a poem, a formula, an article, a book...
We get five minutes each, and go around the room to hear of first breakthroughs.
I can't wait to hear from you guys. Your creative gifts are incredible. My breakthrough changed me and set me on a wonderful, different path. I can't wait to hear about your magic moment.
