Reconnecting with your creativity ✨ [Free Virtual Retreat]

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

This has been a summer so far of reconnecting to my own creativity in unexpected ways. Some things I've done have felt more obviously creative, like mini craft projects and decorating my office. Some perhaps less so, like experimenting with how I structure my yoga classes or finding a fun rhythm and flow with my meal planning - but it's all creativity!

Society often puts creativity into a specific box - making art like drawings or paintings, writing poetry or making films, or playing music or dancing.

On top of that, the onus of capitalism drilling into us that we should monetize all our hobbies, that if you get good at something you started for stress-relief like crocheting, then of course you should turn it into a business.

Frankly, it's exhausting, and part of my efforts to re-plant my creativity in the soil of my own aliveness is to do my "silly little crafts" and not share about them on the internet, or make things specifically for no one but myself to ever see.

It's an ongoing practice and devotion to keep my creative life force unhooked from the relentless beat of the drum of capitalism, and to continue to expand my relationship to what creativity even is, beyond the things that seem obvious.

Which is why I was delighted to be included in the upcoming Rethinking Creativity Retreat - a free, online event that combines listen-on-your-own-time workshops, live discussions on things like creating without pressure and expanding how you define creativity, and resources to support you in dancing with your own creative nature.

The entire retreat is designed to flip the script on what you think you know about creativity, and offer you new lenses and possibilities for your own ideas, process, and potential.

What you receive:

  • 9 Retreat Sessions (including mine: Unhooking Creativity from Capitalism)
  • 3 Live Panel Discussions
  • Free Resources to support your creative life and aliveness

Your creativity deserves so much more than forced outcomes and outdated pressure and expectations. Expand your creative connection and enjoy what emerges from within.

Love,
Kate

Monthly Roots: October Edition Hey Reader, Truly can't believe it's already October 15th. I've been writing this email to you in small moments over the past 2 weeks as I deal with a histamine flare and intense allergies, limiting my screen time to what my eyes will allow me to work with. It's been a "fun" lesson and reminder that my body doesn't always work at the pace of my mind and that steadiness and connection often matter a whole lot more than a machine-like consistency, even if that's...

Hey Reader, A few days ago I shared about my ongoing journey with running retreats, and how some things come and go in our lives depending on what season we are in. Sometimes it's necessary or important to prioritize different things, and the things that matter take the time they take. Sometimes? It's time to begin. To contend with fear and self-doubt. To connect more deeply with what matters to you, and finding your way to get started on that thing you can't stop thinking about. In those...

Hi Reader, I am currently in retreat prep mode as I finalize last minute details for the Hearth and Harvest Retreat this weekend. A dear friend is flying in today to cook nourishing meals and to provide logistical support throughout the retreat. I'm gathering up the art and magic supplies. Every time I get to host an in person experience like this, my heart sings. I get those fizzy nerves of excitement, and know that something magical is going to happen. I almost quit doing retreats entirely....
