Perhaps you yearn to paint, draw, sculpt, sing, or dance, but are too afraid of failing to try. Perhaps you once had an artistic practice, but stopped creating after your work was shamed by others. Perhaps you simply wish to experience how rich and beautiful life can become when you cultivate a relationship with Creative Spirit.
In Awakening Creativity, artist and creativity coach Carrie Schmitt invites you on a sacred journey to reconnect with your innate Creativity. In each chapter, you will travel to a different “temple,” exploring creative qualities like reverence, beauty, and devotion. Every stop on your journey includes exercises and reflections designed to deepen your connection with Creativity and heal your creative wounds. As you travel, you will create your own vade mecum guidebook, which will become a treasured collection of devotional readings, blessings, artwork, and revelations you experienced along the way.
If you’ve ever uttered the words, “I’m just not creative,” this transformational guide offers a loving truth in return. Creative Spirit is already within you—alive, waiting, and ready to meet you again.
Carrie Schmitt is an artist and creative guide devoted to honoring Creativity as a sacred, living relationship. After a life-changing diagnosis in 2009, painting became her devotional path—a way to heal, surrender, and commune with the divine. Carrie’s intuitive floral art is less about perfection and more about awakening the Creative Spirit within to embrace the mysterious and miraculous. She believes Creativity is a source of unconditional love that reveals our oneness. Learn more about her art, retreats, and classes at carrieschmittdesign.com.
