Please share what your experience of today's closing ceremony was like, what came up and how do you feel as we wrap up this Challenge? (if you missed it, the recording will be up in the 'classroom' tab in a few minutes. 🙏🏽

Wow it was really interesting to record this Video. I did it without preparation tuning into my heart and sharing what I want to share. Since I am at the beginning of my business I couldn't share so much about clients and mixed it with my personal share. I recorded with zoom and it looks like the quality is not the best. But I guess I just show it to you anyway and work on better equipment later as this homework is more about language and presence. Thanks for those who want to provide feedback.

Have you ever fully experienced how it feels like to have courage? When you are about to go a different path you have never went before. Courage is when you can be full of fear but you go anyways. Maybe you have always wanted to be a painter. But you learned from your parents that this is not profitable and safe, that it will not make you happy. Therefore you forgot about writing and decided to become a lawyer, earning good money and reputation. You have a nice home and a lovely family. You are safe and comfortable and have everything one could dream of. But recently whenever you lie in your bed you feel drained and it feels like something is missing. Even during the day you seem to miss some energy. And you wonder: What is going on?! Then one day your mother give you some of your old stuff she was about to throw away. In it you find a a letter you wrote as child when you were in 4th grade. In it you share your dream about becoming a famous painter who creates beautiful pictures of the worlds you used to dream of. The letter also contains a painting full of colours. You are staring at this letter for a while. And then you can feel it-a deep longing to do what you always wanted. The urge to grab a piece of paper and water colors befalls you. Therefore you head to the living room- gathering a sheet and and the colors your children use at school. You are looking at the white sheet sensing this deep longing. But nothing would come up. You feel this deep resistance within you like a wall that stands between you and the painting that you wanted to create. Voices in your head start telling you: "What do you think you are doing. You are not creative anymore. You can't do anything. Just forget about it. This is just silly. A childish thing." You don't realize that these are the voices of your parents you have internalized. Voices you have come to believe. You don't know yet that it is not true what they are saying. Therefore you sit there, frozen - mind turned blank.

What sexual season are you??? That’s a question for you :) and also the opening line of my video homework. I did my best to not think too hard on what to say while also implementing the teachings from Nico. Let me know what you think after watching it. It’s just over 3 mins:) https://drive.google.com/file/d/14o9l8P6OrORORDLYsn3w7xQMq9mXDYNy/view?usp=drivesdk

As we talk about creativity in today's challenge I want to share some impulses that I came across to unlock creativity. The first is the perspective on how you see creativity. It is like a wonderful being that needs your attention. You could look at it like a lover (maybe a beautiful woman) and ask yourself what it would need to blossom. Maybe it is a certain smell or a green area. You want to pursue her and not wait for her to come. The second is seeing it as part of your inner child. And the child wants to play. So you look at it and ask: Hey what do we want to play today. How can we have fun. The third asks the question of if you are a painter or an artist. A painter makes things that work, maybe he always uses the same colors again and again. But an artist sits and listens within asking for guidance. There is no pattern to follow - only the present moment where we listen within and the inspiration arises. I like this because it confronts us with the courage to trust our own inspiration instead of trying to do what everyone else does, because it's safe. But when we listen within we tap into the unknown mystery of what might come. I experimented with all of them and it works quite well.
