I Am Creative with Hollis Citron

Creative Conversations Connects with Spirit

Clare began connecting with Spirit when she was 14years old. She started hearing voices and soon realized she wasn't as "normal" as my friends. After the loss of her dad when she was little it came as a great comfort to her when she began receiving guidance from him on the other side and after connecting with her Spirit guides her journey really began.
 
Clare is all about mindfulness and my big takeaway from her is her words that when you trust yourself the energy just flows...love that..

Creative Conversations learns about Widowhood & Connection

In 2007, Dawn gave birth to her first child.  Dawn’s husband, Norman was diagnosed with cancer one month later and died when William was just 3 month’s old.  Understanding the needs of widows and the limited support services available, Dawn started work on creating The W Connection in 2009.
The 4 pillars of the WConnection are: Connection, Education, Encouragement & Empowerment. Dawn and the volunteers involved with making this space come to life are all about creating a safe space for people to come together to laugh, cry and grow.

Creative Conversations Picks Up A Guitar with Pete Devine

From Pete's perspective so much of creativity is about the ability to make connections and creative problem solving. He has been playing the guitar since he was 12 years old, inspired by the Beatles and playing in bands since 13 years of age. 
Early on he made a commitment to only play music to which he felt a personal and artistic connection. He has been fortunate to have been able to maintain that commitment.

Creative Conversation Goes to Court with Randi Wolf

Two ideas that Randi said  that stand out to me: " I see the challenges as opportunities" & " My job does not keep me up at night but gives me the energy to get out of bed in the morning" ( she stated it something like that) 
Randi focuses her practice in complex commercial litigation and the defense of professional liability, employment and casualty claims. She has been doing what she does for almost 27 years and loves her profession. She also creates balance and zen time in her life by being in nature and cooking. 
These conversations revolve around the same 3 questions:
1) How do you define creativity
2) How do you incorporate it into your life
3) Why do you think it is important?

Creative Conversation Goes Back to School with Lakeisha Berry

Love so many quotes that Lakeisha said, you need to tune in to hear them all but this one stands out, " Creativity is freedom on so many levels". 
Lakeisha attended Temple University and Bryn Mawr Graduate School. She is a Social Worker at Belmont Charter Elementary School where she facilitates small group and individual counseling sessions, conducts family interviews and home visits, and also provides community case management. Prior to her current position, Lakeisha worked as an Admissions Director at a Nursing and Rehabilitation Center and as a Case Manager with women and children impacted by HIV/AIDS. She has volunteered with MANNA for almost 20 years by delivering meals to medically fragile clients in the Philadelphia area. This work gives her an opportunity to partner with individuals, groups, families and communities that have been historically marginalized. When she thinks of creativity, freedom comes to mind.
