http://thmiii.com/case/7/ Cuban artist Enrique Martinez Celaya says “Creativity often comes from survival skills, from having to solve problems in inventive ways because you do not have more obvious means at your disposal…creativity is frequently a response to limits.” Psychiatrist Dr. Sue Varna defines creativity as the space between boredom (under-stimulation) and anxiety (over-stimulation).
http://city-made.com/2012/02/27/early-spring-clean/ We are almost exactly a year into the pandemic in Indiana. How has your creativity helped you to overcome limits imposed on your daily life by Covid-19? How has pandemic boredom stimulated your creativity? What have you learned that you can do without? What work-arounds and substitutions have been successful?
Down what creative paths has your pandemic boredom led you? How has your creativity helped you embrace risk and change? How have you found spiritual connections in your creativity? How has your creativity helped you to not only survive but thrive? What aspects of your creativity will you take out of the pandemic?
We will explore some of the ways we can answer these questions, and we invite you to do the same in chat.
(Due to the pandemic, we are meeting online rather than in person. Check your email or our private Facebook group for the Zoom meeting ID and password. If you are not on our email list, please contact our minister for this information: minister@uucchc.org)
Would like zoom info for this coming Sunday’s service.
