The joy of being-and-becoming creatively is to be found in the one place that is always there for you. You can't miss it as this place is your living body. Actually you are your living body

Your living body is a being-and-becoming, means: There is more than just a body that 'is' or 'lives'. The living body is no physical thing nor some existential dimension. The living body is a moving forward towards something and a pointing towards something that always is a new becoming

You may lose your creative spark and your joy of being-and becoming now and then, along with your connection to you being your body. You may come to moments where you cannot feel the body from within at all. But as the living body is always there, is always you, you can find back to feeling your body and the places inside of your body that are home. You can get back to your creativity and your joy of being-and-becoming by doing art that comes from movement and intuition. Continuity in doing embodied arts is the doorway to finding your way back home

Your Body has infinite possibilities of forwarding a More of aliveness. Your aliveness has infinite possiblities to show up and get expressed. Artistic expression has infinite possiblities as invitation

The moment your are expressing yourself through arts that come from the body, you are connected to this multitude of infinite possibilities

Access to all of these possibilities comes with a joy that only you can have. It's the joy of being your creative living forward. This joy is the seed for action that can change your life toward living creatively to the fullest

Your Felt Sense or body sense is a vage kinaesthetic body feeling, giving information of how it is like to live a situation. Most of the time, you notice it inside. The situational Felt Sense sense is always fresh and owned by your body to hundred percent. It is stronger by nature than set up intentions, self-doubts or the Inner Critic

Your body wants you to live, that's what your body is made for. To make you live, your body sense is serving you. The body sense is supporting all parts of you to make you grow, even when you feel stuck and suffer from self-doubts

For to make you grow, your body is highly creative in getting negative conversations inside silenced down. In fact your body is supportive in transforming your negative conversations first and for the most. For that your body allows you to receive ongoing information coming freshly  from the Felt Sense 

Felt Sense information changes when you sit with it. Sitting with your Felt Sense is like sitting with someone you haven't listened to in a while. Once this person has said everything they wanted to say, they feel relieved. Silence can speak because there is now space. 

The creative force of the Felt Sense and your inner artist (the natural force of creativity) are one. When you sit with your Felt Sense and listen to what it has to say about your creative inner self, space emerges. Your inner artist will step in and the creative force will show up

The voice of your inner artist can express in many artistic voices. It's perhaps the most vulnerable part of you and the part that speaks your most authentic evolutionary language

To pursue your creative self to the fullest, your inner artist needs the strongest kind of support possible. The strongest support is support from inside-out and outside-in. The inside-out support occurs when your inner artist is uplifted by Felt Sense-Based arts

Art-making from the Felt Sense emerges from the body and the body's being-and-becoming. Practicing Felt Sense-Based arts always leads to a next being-and-becoming, both in the body and in your artwork. This next always feels fresh

Felt Sense-Based arts get you unstuck. It is a moving forward, a pointing to a More of what activates your inner artist to get stronger and unstoppable

When you listen to your Felt Sense as you engage with the arts, you land at a place that feels fresh and like spark land. You will find powerful, personal art expression and creative highlights

The more you create along the path of Felt Sense-Based arts, the more you will notice your inner voices being transformed. They change from doubts to artistic advisors you will not want to miss on your journey toward the landscape of your creative spark-land

Artistic talent or experience in making art has nothing to do with coming to a place that feels like creative spark-land

What is needed to get there is to know about creativity, to follow three basic principles of art-making (external support), and to process your art from the Felt Sense (internal support). Thus, you are supported by art information and body-mind information, and you are supported by the experience of Felt Sense-Based art-making itself. Both external and internal support make your art bolder and more you

The three basic principles of art-making (design, value and color) are doable for anyone, regardless of prior artistic knowledge (or lack thereof). Working through them keeps your inner artist awake. This can be important at times, as taking artistic risks can make you feel vulnerable and in need of support. When you are feeling vulnerable and confused, the voice of your inner artist lacks clarity. Then, gaining back a clear vision of your art can be helped by external support, such as adhering to the three basic principles of art-making. As a side effect, you will create artwork you love

We have a clear concept of how to guide you to creative joy:

1. We will explain how creativity works from a Focusing perspective and teach you the three basic principles of art-making: design, value, and color.

2. We will guide you through the artistic process of applying these principles to help you find your inner artist's voice. In doing so, we will encourage you to ask visual questions about every aspect of your artwork. We will encourage you to wait for answers from within, which will come when you listen to your Felt Sense

3. We will help you embrace your newfound artistic creativity and identity by asking FOAT®- and person-centered creative arts-based questions that connect your art and life

Creative joy is unique to each of us. There is nor right or wrong in where you land artistically, emotionally and as an artist of becoming

But one thing is for sure, though: When you explore what gives you joy artistically from the body sense, you will transcend the average. You will transform your creative spark into radiance. You will do art that is and becomes the most of you
