I’m still in Morocco, and everyone is at lunch, so I’m taking time to make art! While painting, I’ve been thinking about a powerful moment we experienced during our morning session. A big takeaway from these retreats was made crystal clear.
Here’s the story…
One of the artists shared that what’s hardest for her is not knowing what she’s doing. She’s highly productive in regular life, but here, at the retreat, she candidly admitted she doesn’t know what to do, and that’s new for her. She realized that she doesn’t have to be perfect. What a breakthrough! The art is almost secondary to the powerful shifts within ourselves in these moments. She was in tears sharing this because she felt such relief! This brought her closer to the group because so many of us can relate. This shift leads to the new relaxed energy needed to create your authentic art.
How do you relate to this idea of letting go and embracing imperfection? Let me know in the comments!
Have a great Sunday,
