Be Unproductive- to access more creativity (A Practice for You) with Jennifer England

May 10, 2024
05:49

Jennifer offers a practice, inspired by her conversation with creative director and visionary artist Jon Marro.


How can you access more creative life force when you’re exhausted, too busy, or disheartened by world events? When we’re running at a feverishly high pace to be productive or save the world, it can feel impossible to slow down and “be creative”.


In this practice, Jennifer offers a “new doing” that can help you uncouple your time from being productive. From here, it’s easier to notice the wonder of ordinary life, which becomes a wellspring of creativity.


If you play with this practice and discover a new way of seeing or experiencing your ‘self’ we’d love to hear from you!
