Inner Truth

What really defines a creative person? Do you have to have artistic talent or is it something we can all express in some way? Picasso once said we are all born artists so where does all of that creative potential go? One of the sorrows of the modern workplace is that perhaps we don’t always get to use our creative potential, particularly in the rush to specialization. So how then can we unearth and develop this creative potential to bring about greater personal fulfiment? To help navigate these questions I reached out to interview Cathy Wild, a specialist of more than 30 years in the creative process and someone who works to guide people into their innermost selves to untap their creative potential.

Feelings, what really are they? What triggers them and why are we so keen to avoid feeling the ones we don’t like? Raphael Cushnir is one of the foremost leaders in the field of emotional connection and present moment awareness. His unique approach to connecting to our emotions, that he calls ‘surfing’, requires us to dive deep into our feelings and consciously pay close attention to our felt experience, without labelling or analyzing it. Using this approach and paying subtle attention to our feelings, emotions become messengers that lead us to a greater understanding of who we are and what we want to achieve. The more attuned we grow to our emotions, the wiser and more discerning we become, and the more success and peace we can find in our lives.

In the book she shares lessons learned from a life dedicated to healing from hyper-self-criticism and super-achievement that plague so many of us. I caught up with Robyn to talk about the lessons from 40 years of self-care and see how radical self-compassion and acceptance are crucial to bringing about peace in our lives.

I caught up with Eivind to learn about the problems with masculinity today, how archetypes help us understand the reasons and how ritual process can bring men into a fully integrated sense of themselves.

For most of us the unknown is both friend and foe. At times it can be a source of paralyzing fear and uncertainty, and at other times it can be a starting point for adventure, creativity, and transformation. How we relate to it is a key element in all personal growth and healing.
