Tonight was an eclectic mix of inspiration and knowledge. A creative dance of the senses.
New members arrived and joined with familiar faces, we came together with a synergy of purpose. Not really sure of my place - conductor and Lord of Misrule?
We have very few rules as a group - but there are one or two very firm ones no negative self-doubting words allowed and the edit fairy is firmly banished the door, having no place in this room of reason.
The initial prompt was "What would a Spinster's Almanack Contain? - that brought forward discussion as we attempted to divine the definition resorting to memory and logic when fact was absent.
"Planting by the Moon" - Lesley declared and we were off. (Sonia was absent awaiting her God in Overalls - more about that later in the Blog).
Coloured pencils were shared and doodles adorned our assortment of pages - and this took us down another writerly route - ranging from dripping ice cream cones - hill ranges - doilies and sunsets. No word was a bad word, every word had a place on each person's page - an expression of interpretation borne out of personal experience.
We discussed Morning Pages Magic of Morning Pages a device recommended by Julia Cameron - The Artists Way Website
Then wrote some more...
The focus of the evening was around revisiting Tracey's installation of the previous week with notebook, worksheet and pen in hand. So much energy and inspiration - tangible in the quietness of the experience.
We have taken away notes on the experience to work at home this evening - bringing back to the group our personal interpretations next week.
On a personal note this week - I learned that the planet Mercury is retrograde !! causing problems with communication - well that could certainly explain a lot of what has happened this week.
