Exploring Your Creative Self!

Hello wonderful souls,

We all want to live a more creative loving life, right?

Why?

CREATIVITY helps us to try new things, explore, and often learn something new! I believe trying new things is the secret to cultivating an open heart and mind, opening up to creative ways to ‘feel’ and ‘see’ yourself, your relationships, and life from new perspectives. From these new perspectives, profound self-discoveries, insights and possibilities are birthed. We begin to rise up to our fully expressed free flowing self and in this space open up to self-compassion and loving ourselves more. When we live in this place, we begin to help others to do the same!

I actually believe we are all our own CREATIVE GURU! Sometimes we simply need a helping hand to connect to and become our OWN Creative Guru! 

If you are reading this blog, I am guessing you are feeling an inner nudge to explore your creative self more fully. This does not mean we have to be ‘artist’s’. Creativity is about letting go of how we have been told we should be and how we should do things. It is about surrendering to the fun of ALLOWING yourself to play, explore and make mistakes (I call these ‘happy accident’s’)!

More than ever, we are being guided to open up to more creativity in how we experience being alive in this physical existence. I too am feeling this. 

As the wonderful Pablo Picasso said, “Everything you can imagine is real.” We CAN create our own reality!

As we connect more to our unique creative self, and nourish our imagination, we are innately and more ease-fully able to create a life we love; a life that feels good. When we tune in vibrationally to follow our bliss…our bliss being what really lights us up, we begin to see and feel our authentic self in her joy to be alive. 

Joseph Campbell said, “Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls.” 

WHY? Because from this connection to our creative self, we open up to ‘feel’ and ‘see’ our relationship to self and others, to life, from new viewpoints…the walls begin to crumble and doors open to new ways of seeing things, breaking old patterns and birthing new opportunities. Our soul is unleashed, able to expand and BLOSSOM. Our presence becomes a magnetic, an inspiration for others to step out of their comfort zone!

How wonderful is that?!

This is my passion! To:

  • creatively connect you to yourself and others
  • offer you creative inspiring opportunities to safely express and explore yourself
  • expand and grow and have FUN doing so! 

When we creatively connect to ourselves and others, we open ourselves to life’s possibilities, embracing our unique self and living in more freedom and flow! I believe this organically builds a strong foundation for you to connect to and grow feelings of confidence, joy and self-love both personally and professionally.

If we embrace creativity together, we have the opportunity to connect more deeply both with ourselves and each other, so we can all live a more creative and pleasurable life! 

Here’s to that! 

Here are a few of my CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS:

  • Follow your bliss – what lights you up?
  • Do things that make you happy
  • Listen to your heart and follow your truth…do what feels right rather than what you think is right
  • Listen to the call of your spirit
  • Connect back to what makes you different. Embrace this!
  • Try something new every day and let your experiences broaden your perspective.
  • Encourage yourself to do things in a different way…something new may open up
  • Enjoy ALL your senses. They can elevate your every moment experience
  • Try Art Therapy. It is profound in supporting you to let go of what you ‘think’ something should look like
  • Show self-compassion for your ‘happy accidents’ (mistakes); they often present a new creative way of doing something
  • Stop worrying about what people will think of you (One of my favourite mantras: “It’s none of my business what you think of me”)
  • Hang out with other creatives who are also willing to explore new ways of doing things and live in their authenticity
  • Remember, this is YOUR INDIVIDUAL journey as YOUR authentic self
  • This life is about experiences in this human form…So do what makes you feel most alive, that’s the key, that’s the path to follow your bliss

I hope this blog has inspired you to start thinking, being and doing beyond your “limits.” Unleashing your creative thinking will bring about a new adventures and zest for living life. 

Please reach out if you have any thoughts. I’m happy to hear YOUR viewpoint 😊 

In creativity and love, Helen

Your retreat has shown me what I would like to create more of in my life, for myself and surrounded by beautiful supportive friends and feel a part of something. It filled me with so much love!I’m so grateful to each and every one of you for being a part of this incredible life changing weekend, you all bought so much magic in your own special ways.

How beautiful to be different flowers in the same garden of life, always remember to water yourself first and those around you.

So much love Kylie”

“I have enjoyed many of Helen’s art therapy offerings including the recent Soul Art Adventure retreat. What I love about Helen is her genuine presence which allows me to relax, feel held and safe. She gently guides and encourages participants to explore, and I am always amazed at what is revealed during the art making process. Its fascinating and enlightening. I really enjoyed the variety of activities that all complimented each other and gave me a feeling of having a ‘whole’ hearted experience. Plus, it was also a lot of fun, and a tremendous bond was created between the women participating. I highly recommend a Soul Art Adventure.”

With love Monique

“It was a fantastic session, thank you so much Helen for leading us through a wonderful experience. It was deeply enjoyable and therapeutic and I’m excited to bring some ideas to my mentoring. The session was definitely a highlight for us all from the entire weekend. Thank you!!”

Charlotte Pointeaux from Shine From Within
“I certainly felt a deeper connection with my team mates after partaking in the Art Therapy team building day. Prior to the day we were a tight group, though after the day, it felt as though we had connected on a deeper more personal level. I know some of my team mates were apprehensive due to the ‘art’ nature of the group, but soon found out that it’s about the process, not the creation. I know they walked away with a deeper understanding of Art Therapy as a modality and most surely a deeper understanding of themselves as a worker, individual, and team mate.
I would definitely recommend Helen to other organisations – I already have! I found her to be very supportive and engaging in a group environment and felt Helen was able to allocate time to each individual so that no one felt left out. I also really liked the variety of activities – each with a suited purpose.”
Art Therapy Team Building Self-care Day from Community Solutions Staff member, Prinellapy Keable: Support Worker -Personal Helpers and Mentors (PHaMs), Community Solutions, Sunshine Coast
“Working with Helen has helped me to open up to my deep inner feelings and thoughts. Helen is such a lovely warm person with no judgements. The 6 week 1 on 1 program has helped me to be curious and open minded. I have discovered more about me and what I want in life; to live in the now, embrace it, have fun and be happy.
Before I started working with Helen I felt something was missing. I wanted to re-discover Lyndell; what am I doing on this earth? There is more to me…I just don’t know what exactly it is or how to get it…
Now I feel happy and ready to do whatever my heart desires…the skies the limit!”
Lyndell Dickman

“Thanks Helen you have really helped me see myself.”

Abby Crawford

Helen is wonderful…She has helped our son through his anxiety issues around his schoolwork in particular. She has given him the tools to handle these emotions so they don’t become a barrier to him achieving his potential. All of this is delivered in a fun, creative and no confrontational way through art therapy. The difference has been noticed by all who know him. We are forever grateful and can highly recommend Helen. We look forward to what the future hold for our son.”

Happy Parents - Michelle and Adrian

“When I first saw the cost of the program I was hesitant to commit, however it was worth every dollar to be able to work alongside Helen. I have gained a more positive attitude, self-acceptance and inner peace. The biggest change was finding me and enjoying my own company!”

Beck

“Helen. Thank you for the special space you created and your humble and reverent approach to each of us. You facilitated a wonderful conduit between spirit and self, allowing each of us to hear our soul messages from which we created our own symbols of spirit. I completely recommend this course ‘return to love.’ I am very careful what soul food I spend my money on. This course is still giving me 10 fold. A beautiful part of the journeying along the river of my life.”
