Product Description
From Amazon
Instead of trying to define and contain human creativity, this inspiring assortment of essays offers personal stories about what creativity means to each of these renowned teachers, artists, and spiritual leaders. Don Campbell shows how attentive listening has fostered his creativity. Sark tells of her home's "Magic Cottage" (which was once a tool shed) where she writes all her books while lying on a futon mattress. Michelle Cassou speaks to her dream of "erasing the fine line between creator and creation." And Christina Baldwin shares how examining and rewriting our personal stories can lead to healing and creative fulfillment. --Gail Hudson
Book Description
By reading the pieces in this collection, the reader quickly realizes that there is no one definition of creativity. It is something that carries different meaning for everyone. Five chapters -- Brush with Inspiration, The Creative Process, The Dark Side, The Healing Power, and The Spiritual Practice -- each describe a separate stage along the journey as experienced by several different contributors.

A Great Resource,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Soul of Creativity: Insights into the Creative Process (Paperback)
This is the third copy I have ordered, because the other two have found new homes with friends who shared my love of this collection of essays on the nature of the creative process. Short essays reflect multiple points of view, which is appropriate to the content. I read sections to my classes. I wander through the book when I desire companionship in the quiet of my studio. And I share the relevant book essays with others, a dangerous use of this book and my generous heart. My only complaint is the binding. Such wonderful ideas deserved a more sturdy format. Nancy, Oakland, CA.

Essays are windows into creativity, artistry!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Soul of Creativity: Insights into the Creative Process (Paperback)
"What the "Soul of Creativity" does best is remind us that creativity is not just for artists, but is accessible to everyone in their everyday lives. It also shows that as we create we change ourselves and our lives in a very real and wonderful way." - Albuquerque Journal, 4/25/99.

a wonderful collection of essays that encourage and inspire,
By Stesha Norstrom (Shay-m@msn.com (Santa Rosa, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Soul of Creativity: Insights into the Creative Process (Paperback)
"The Soul of Creativity" is a delightful collection of essays that encourage and inspire the creative soul in all of us. Each author touches on the elements of their personal creative paths, describing the joy, fear, and personal satisfaction that all humans feel when tapping into and exposing to the world their inner-most selves, which is where "creativity" resides. I highly recommend this book to anyone who, in endevouring to embark on the journey of self discovery feels fear and doubt. It becomes apparent that this doubt is universal and it only takes belief in one's self to overcome this greatest of hurdles and make dreams come true.
