A Little Midweek Magic For You
(Is Tuesday night midweek?)
Friends, I was grateful to hear from so many of you about Sunday’s message. This little bird and Victor Hugo’s words resonated!
When the world around us feels distressing and overwhelming, our creativity is a powerful practice. I think of being creative as an act of resistance.
Because many of us feel shut down right now, I want to share ways to recharge and connect:
If you’re interested in meditation, Dan Harris shares a great message about how meditation can boost creativity.
If you’re seeking some quiet in between meetings and other work/personal demands, check out Wild Heart’s free session on taking a moment for listening. I love this practice!
If you want a REALLY powerful new book about grief and healing, check out Casey Mulligan Walsh’s The Full Catastrophe. I was grateful to read an advanced copy and actually stayed up all night because I couldn't stop reading (thank you cafe americano who helped me through the next morning). Highly recommended!
And…if connecting with ancestors/mentors/significant friends/loved ones feels nurturing right now, check out this new series I'm leading with the phenomenal poet/painter Cathy Cohen.
No art experience necessary! Last year, I took a workshop with Cathy and her expressive art techniques helped me to open up some blocks in my writing.
Our focus is on expression; no writing/art experience needed! Open to folks of all faith and cultural traditions. All the info here.
Reach out anytime. Share your creative work. Remember, your voice is needed!
With love, Gabrielle Ariella
Stepped outside to clear my mind today and caught this rainbow. It doesn’t matter how many times I see a rainbow–they always feel magical
