"Created to Create" led by Rev. C. Kyle Gott, is a 6-week creative exploration class designed to help individuals discover and grow their unique creative voice as a spiritual practice. Inspired by "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron, this welcoming space encourages participants to engage in creative expression as a path to healing, spiritual formation, and personal growth.
Each weekly session includes a reflection on art, music, or literature, group discussion of "The Artist's Way", and time to share personal creative work. Emphasis is placed on cultivating safety, silencing the inner critic, and rediscovering the joy of creative play -- whether through art, writing, music, or other forms of expression.
Open to all levels, this experience is about honoring both the Creator and our creative gifts, fostering breakthroughs in a grace -filled, judgment-free environment.
