Creative Passion

In the series Creative Passion Expression we meet on a weekly basis and prepare an expression individually to share with one another. This week I love to share the assignment with you.

The assignment

INTRODUCTION

"By opening to experience and actively choosing to see things from different perspectives, we can counter the damaging effects of familiarity and increase our cognitive flexibility. Openness to experience goes hand in hand with integrative complexity , the capacity and desire to recognize new patterns and find links among seemingly unrelated pieces of information. In fact, living in and adapting to foreign cultures may also enhance integrative complexity, which can give a major boost to our powers of creative thought".
ref. Tadmor et al 2012, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

Use aspects or ideas of ‘foreign cultures’ to express your flexibility and openness. 

• example: make an object or sing or dance or make music etc. with an aspect of a ‘foreign culture’ to express yourself
• I formulate it this free, so you can allow yourself the freedom to adjust it the way it comes to you.

You might wonder what the ‘result’ will be of this assignment. We are always impressed what loveliness is being shared. When you are in-Spirited it is beautiful what happens.

PREVIOUS MEETING

To give you an impression of the last meeting you find a video below. This is the version without our interactions but with the ‘expressions’ in order to keep the meeting a safe place of sharing.
