Do you feel overwhelmed in times of brokenness and uncertainty,
unable to hold tension and attune to beauty/wonder?
Your imagination and creativity is waiting to bring you a special gift.
“When I dare to be powerful — to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.”
— Audre Lorde
Imagination burnout is real. Countless Images, reels, stories, podcast, narratives are fighting for our attention every day, Knowing what is going on in our local community and across the world is important, but sometime we don’t have the mental and emotional strength to watch the news.
We live in a world saturated with images, addicted to speed and other people’s visions. Generative AI can generate a painting, video, or song within minutes in just one prompt. Activists-scholars tell us that imagination is vital for our collective survival. We hear cheat code from creativity experts on how to “tap into your creativity.” But imagination can’t be calculated or controlled–Imagination comes visit us as surprises, as gifts. And if we are too busy and consumed by the world’s images and other people’s visions, we would have no ears to hear the inaudible whisper.
Does any of these resonate with you?
Regular artistic play is medicinal food for the human heart and mind. As imagination metabolizes, the soul finds nourishment. Without making spaces to articulate or process what you witness in the world, what you carry in you walk, it’s easy to lose sight of the beauty and wonder that initially called you on your path.
Revitalizing Imagination is a receptive process, one that renews us when we step back, refresh our hearts, and allow ourselves to grieve and feel. When we create space for it, images and insights arrive as gifts—unexpectedly.
If you feel called to have someone walking alongside you as you move through similar landscapes to revitalize imagination, this Imagination Care session is for you.
Fill out this form, and I’ll be in touch with more details and arrange an initial online meeting for us to decide if this is a good fit.
Culture care starts with identifying and articulating brokenness.
It creates a safe space for truth telling, but it does not stop here,
it starts with listening and then invites people onward
toward beauty, wholeness and healing.~ Makoto Fujimura
