Workshop Description
We are creative because we are made in the image of the Creator. But how does creativity work? What elements and approaches most foster and nurture it? In this workshop, we’ll look at two models of the creative process—one psychological and the other theological. Whatever you are called to create, understanding your process can help you better serve the work … and the world.
Target Audience
All writers who are interested in better understanding and nurturing the creative process.
Goals
Three learning outcomes:
1. Understand two detailed models of the creative process.
2. Gain further insight into your own creative process—what nurtures it, what shuts it down.
3. Identify five practical “tweaks” to your own approach that will help facilitate your own creativity and receptivity.
