Every living person is creative, but many people stop using their artistic skills when the routines of career, family and the many stresses of survival take hold of our lives. We will discuss how having an active, vibrant creative life keeps us innovative to enhance every decision we make and everything we do.

(Soma)tic rituals help us see the creative viability in everything around us by generating a space of “extreme present” where being anything but present is next to impossible. We will create rituals to write together for the month of June, the month named after Juno, Queen of the gods who helps us lead our own lives and approach change with an adventurous, visionary excitement. We will also build personalized rituals to suit each student’s particular needs, writing inside the structures of life’s challenges to show how we can be imaginative no matter what comes our way.
