Hello Everyone!!
Pablo Picasso and the German conceptual artist, Joseph Beuys, both believed that every person is an artist. The problem for most of us is retaining our creativity as adults. Consciously bringing creativity back into our lives, be it visual arts, music, cooking, gardening, writing, etc, often helps dealing with the negative issues of daily life. Creativity encourages the joy factor, the wow factor, the fun factor and is known to help release stress. Classes and retreats are great ways to reconnect with the inner artist. Check out www.theretreatcompany.com for a great listing of retreats worldwide.
