Last night I held my first Sacred Women’s Circle. An amazing group of women gathered in a cozy office away from the heat, humidity and traffic of the city. We gathered this month to talk about Creativity. We lit a candle, went over groundrules, played some appropriate music and got started!

We talked about creativity, our beliefs about it, and our own insecurities about our own creativity. I believe everyone is creative, but often we are taught in the standard education system not to be. I brought up some stories from a book I had been reading called: A Whack on the Side of the Head: How You Can Be More Creative. In this book, Roger Von Oech describe 10 “locks” that lock us out of our innate creativity. These locks range from the belief that there is only one right answer, the idea that we can’t break the rules to it’s not OK to be foolish or make mistakes. Do you relate to any of these? Probably most of us do!

I had set out an assortment unrelated items and everyone picked one. The assignment was to list what it could be used for other than its normal use or write a poem or story about it. Wow, once we got over the hump, the juices were flowing! We had a closing reading from Sarah Ban Breathnach’s Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy. We then finished with tea, cookies and chit-chat!

I think it is so important for women to be able to gather together away from children, husbands, jobs, etc. and be with each other. We can let our defenses down, be ourselves and share joys and pain. If you don’t have a place to do this, I strongly suggest you find one or create your own. You won’t be disappointed!

Peace and Blessings,

Rev. Tricia

This is a women’s circle that meets once a month. It is for women of all faiths and spiritual paths and we focus on a different theme each month.

Often we think of creativity as pertaining to the arts – painting, Music, sculpture and dance; and if we do not have active talent in one of these areas, we claim, “O am not creative!”

This month we will discuss what creativity really means to us and share our insights. We will discover our own special brand of Creativity and share it with this new sisterhood we are creating.

Come and join us for a fun evening with supportive women to honor each other and our feminine energy!
