Unearthing Creativity, Connection & Freedom
Palimpsest - detail from many layered new accordion book inspired by the river
As I write, the sun is shining in a very un-Devon-like way. Its bright and hot, dry and wall to wall blue. Amazing, and 10 degrees C above the norm this time of year. And everything is bursting with flower. Overnight the fertility is explosive. What a creative force that pushes through nature. And we are of course nature too.
“This moment, too, is surrender, this blazing,...
this ecstatic exploding
that always and never arrives.”
As some of you know, I have been continuing to navigate some pretty stunning challenges. And although by anyone’s standards, this is almost a comical level of difficult and strange. So much so, that it’s just ordinary now. My dear beloved friend mortality is with me all the time and we have become very intimate friends. We are steadfast and connected. And with that the sweetness of life is that much more delicious and juicy. It has tested and matured me in my practice and my offerings. How wonderful to be truly alive and with nothing to change.
I am sure we all have experienced things which start off difficult or even impossible, but they actually end up being highlights and peak experiences of truly being alive and awake.
The surrendering to this moment. The letting-go of remembering to RE-member. The deepening appreciation for what is important and essential. The letting go of oh, so much. And the surrendering again and again like Innanna. Just when you think there is nothing more to give up, there is and you can. Wonder-full.
What are you letting go of in your life? What have you found is surprisingly wonderful, that started off as something difficult or impossible?
So to that end, I am planning some new events; toying at the edges as many have asked, pleaded even, for this. And with weather like this, it’s all possible. Even on a cloudy day in Devon, things appear pretty gorgeous and delightful. So here is where you come in: can I ask whether you be interested in a one day, or weekend course – in my not-quite done but done enough to run-a few very special in-person - workshop art studio? It overlooks Hay Tor and is a 5 min walk from Totnes town. And you, as a VIP, have first pick!
Are you interested? I am envisaging a potential weekend in July or August of this year. So please let me know your thoughts, asap.
More to follow of course, but this is very delightful to be in this garden and orchard haven right in Totnes.
You are very welcome to DM my Instagram @Katheryn_Trenshaw, get in touch via my website contact form HERE or through FB here. Oh and of forward this to any friends you may think may be interested in my content or offerings.
