Creativity is a “shape changer” writes Clarissa Pinkola Estés. It takes up shape inside of us and changes us from the inside out. Our creative ‘success’ is largely determined by how willing are we to give creativity allowance to our vessel.

“The creative force flows over the terrain of our psyches looking for the natural hollows, the arroyos, the channels that exist in us. We become it’s tributaries, i'ts’ basins, we are its pools, ponds, streams, and sanctuaries. The wild creative force flows into whatever beds we have, those we are born with as well as those we dig with our own hands.” - Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Each woman is a creative genius in her own right. And yet so many of us struggle to understand and honour our creative process, cycles, and desires.

This offering is deeply rooted in my personal experiences, making it my own through and through. It seems appropriate to share my personal narrative, detailing how I found my strength, devotion, clarity, courage, and coherence within my creative process. This is a personal journey, taken through a transpersonal lens, that I believe is a common challenge for many women. While each of us has our own way of navigating this challenge, there is a common root. I believe my approach, having served me so deeply, can also serve other women.

I'm not suggesting the complete elimination of difficulties. The beauty of the creative courage framework is that once we start creating, our work will continuously challenge us. There will always be new layers of self to uncover and integrate. However, the river of inspiration and the arousal of our creative desires will have more room to flow through our bodies, into our creative process, and out into the world. This is what I want for other women - to honour the magic of the creative feminine life force. It won't always be "easy," but I believe that sharing my experiences and learnings can provide a beacon of possibility for others who desire to create.

You might find this helpful if you:

• Feel that your creative life-force energy is stuck

• Experience doubt, self-criticism, and comparison when initiating creative visions

• Fear the implications of putting meaningful work out into the world

• Feel disconnected from a source of creative energy

• Are hesitating on a creative project that will push your boundaries

• Tend to stick to your comfort zone but want to make different choices

• Want to stop sabotaging the creative projects you desire to create

• Find yourself "stuck" or "frozen" after feeling inspired to create something meaningful

• Know what to do to move past the block but can’t make it happen and end up abandoning your vision

• Feel exhausted before even beginning a creation cycle and are unsure how to create in a nourishing, sustainable way

• Compare yourself to others and judge your creative work as 'less worthy'

My name is Jenny.

I am your guide you on this journey. For a significant portion of my life, I held the misconception that I lacked creativity. I did not realize it, but I was stuck in a freeze state due to my childhood trauma and by habitually choosing strategies to stay safe rather than live my truth throughout my 20's.

However, at the age of 29, a traumatic experience catalyzed a surge of creative energy within me, facilitating deep healing and fostering a connection with the feminine creative life force.

I began to harness this energy, not merely through my body but also through the land. Engaging in earth-based embodiment rituals triggered a profound transformation in my nervous system, allowing me to access what I now identify as the Anima - the inherent feminine force of nature.

This 'animacy' is the lifeblood of everything I create. It is the bedrock of my spiritual practice and the essence of my business offerings. It also serves as a pillar of strength when life's obstacles test my resilience. It nurtures me when I am engulfed by fear, overwhelmed, or caught in a survival pattern.

I've crafted a ritual and embodiment method that has effectively enabled me to connect with the earth's animacy and my own body.

This method has broadened my nervous system's ability to withstand the discomfort that often accompanies a creative life. I offer it to you in this course.
