When you are a creative person but you feel like you can't access that part of yourself, how do you re-engage with your creativity and keep it going? At one time or another all of us experience lulls in our creativity and reconnecting when you feel blocked can be challenging, but artist, author and Creativebug Editor-in-Chief, Courtney Cerruti, is here to share her tried and true approaches in sparking and sustaining creative practice. Start with small steps: make space for new experiences, embrace playful practices, and engage with inspiring books and people. Courtney's prompts overlap and spill into each other—take them as they are or adapt them to fit your style as they ignite your creativity, slowly building into a fully fueled fire of artistic thought and action. Remember that creativity is a journey, and each person's path to reconnection is unique.
This 15-day practice will release every other day this month.

Very helpful, very encouraging! I really like the instructor’s relaxed approach, invitations to play and to not take creative pursuits so seriously. I enjoyed the many books she shared, and will be getting a copy of “Wintering” to read!

Creativity can be a very personal thing, and Courtney opened her heart to us. The class has so many great ideas, and now I need to start implementing them!! (Could you find a way to give me more hours in the day to use all these methods? :-)
