Your Creative Energy as a Living Inquiry
Season 6 Episode 7
This is the final episode of season 6 of Wellspringwords: The Podcast! Take a sunny walk with Nkem as she explores the deeper intelligence of our creative energy. Some ideas that emerge through this reflection are:
moving by passion and intrigue over mental planning,
allowing the creative ebb to nourish while the flow empowers,
cultivating deeper creative discernment, and more!
This trauma-informed episode also offers reflective writing prompts for your own creative practice. We hope this offering meets you where you are receptive at this time. Please enjoy and share it with another beloved creator who would benefit!
