Creativity during COVID-19

During these uncertain times it is so easy to feel helpless and hopeless. One of the best ways to deal with those anxieties is to lean into creativity of all kinds. We wanted to share two incredible resources right now to help you connect to people and places that have wonderful creative offerings during this time of COVID-19.

 

First: The Isolation Journals

Started by the unwavering Suleika Jaouad, the Isolation Journals are “A DAILY CREATIVITY PROJECT TO HELP MAKE SENSE OF CHALLENGING TIMES”

Throughout April 2020, she’ll be serving up daily journaling prompts from some of the most inspiring writers, artists, musicians and unsung heroes I know. We all hope this creativity project sparks your imagination and helps us all process and stay connected during these difficult times.

Second: The Artists Way Workshop

For Women Who Roar (RWWR) is starting a group workshop of The Artist’s Way : a workbook that details a 12-week program of creative discovery and renewal. Created by Julia Cameron more than 25 years ago, the program is used by artists all over the world to overcome the beliefs and fears that inhibit the creative process and to flourish in their lives and work. 

We hope these two resources are helpful for you and we’d love to hear and see any of your creative works!

Rachel Lund started Self Space out of the deep belief in the power of therapy to change people’s lives from the inside out. Her hope is to help people find more safety, care and love in their lives. Rachel is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Clinical Supervisor in Washington state, and focuses on treating clients through a neuropsychotherapy approach to therapy that connects mind+body.
