The Artist Connection: May 2011

Great meeting on April 20. Dr Nahid Mokhtari led our discussion on creativity of the heart. As a research PhD and a well known international lecturerer on creativity, Nahid zeroed in to our sweetspot --- her presentation was so riveting that nobody wanted to be interrupted by food, that's a first. Our previous discussions flirted around the edges of our creativity, Nahid drove a nail into our subject, the creativity of the heart we all share.

Nahid has devoted her life to lecturing and researching about creativity of the heart. So she comes to from a deep committed place. Her presentation and the discussion she inspired was a true gift.

Nahid reinforced why approaching creativity from diverse disciplines is really fun. The subject matter of our art is different but the drive for creative self expression comes from the same place. Nahid took us to that place of creativity and we thank her for such a wonderful treat.

When we meet

Magic happens, creative people share their visions and inspirations. It's about the very early feeling of a rumbling of a new idea, of how a seed is set and how it grows and takes form. It's about creating space to let the new seed grow.
It's a brotherhood of creativity -- -- blood brothers bonded by the pursuit of a dream. It's the scaffolding and support system for ephemeral dreams. It's creating self accountability to have dreams come true. It's about listening to the calling and letting its meaning be felt. It's honoring the lifecycle of the creative process -- -- a support group for self-expression. It's the excitement of witnessing a new idea becoming manifest -- -- something from nothing, creation.

Books ---- that touch the creative process
