End with brief silent time. The creative inventory meeting is a time for digging deep and finding answers that will help us understand our creative development through a selection of questions and topics related to the theme of the season. The circle selects questions and then engages in discussions from the list. Our creative journeys are filled with stories as we face the challenges in our lives that define who we are today and where we are headed in the future. Whether it's the tragic events of our current world situation, a relationship ending or losing the game our creative spirits shine brightest during the many challenging moments of our lives. We may process, heal and move forward in uniquely different ways, but we are all owners of brave hearts. This season's sister i creative inventory takes us back to those moments when the hard times challenged us to move forward and make positive change. We will also share stories of mentors and how they taught us to face challenges by being witness to their own process of healing. winter creative inventory questions and topics: Please share with the circle a "light bulb" moment that initiated positive change in your life. As a child, how were you encouraged to move forward? Does this child still speak through you at difficult times. Throughout your life how have you nurtured your mind, body and spirit during challenging times? What was your creative expression during these moments? How did your mother (parent, mentor, relative) nurture her creative spirit during trying times? What was their creative expression during such moments? How would you explain your healing process to the circle? Do you have any creative outlets that are part of this process? What risks do you take that express your creative spirit? As a child did you experience any trauma that is expressed through your creativity today? List three things in your life that feel extremely risky, but would certainly give your creative spirit inspiration. What other questions involving this subject would you like to discuss?
