Creativity In A Human Circle

For about four years...except in the summer...I led a weekly human circle...called "Creative Voices"...it was a deep experience...that ran its natural course...until I
returned to "just being an artist". Some thoughts about it from my journal then:
"Why is creativity at the core of our human circle working out so well?. Focusing on
creativity...engages an authentic human power...rather than a consumeristic idea...like drinking beer together...although that too could have its social benefits. Taking part in an endeavour around creativity...can exercise our inner muscle...if we enter strongly into it. If we were meeting...and singing cover songs...or people were reading poems they hadn't created...it might be pleasant...but it wouldn't likely engage deeper powers...available in the participants. If we were sharing in a censored way...our power would also be interfered with...pushing us towards the bland...rather than the real or raw as it is now. The working through of life issues...in the material that some of those attending create...is part and parcel of "Creative Voices"...and would not likely be happening if those doing so...were regurgitating material they hadn't created. The aspect of human beings creating or recreating themselves...by exercising their inner powers as they create...would not likely be happening in the authentic way it is...if we were only meeting in a superficial way...and not digging deep as we do...in our creations"........................Quester.
