cultivativity
This is a space for cultivating creativity.
This is not set up as a challenge, as that implies competition or accountability to produce something (which are fun activities, and for which there are several other communities available). Rather, this community is organized as a series of modules designed to help build a practice to nurture our creative selves. Do the things you want, ignore the ones that don't.
There are seven modules overall and there will be a schedule to go through the series as a group to share insights and resources. You are also welcome to do them on your own at any time and they can be done at whatever pace you want.
What is 'cultivativity'?
A portmanteau combining cultivate (to foster the growth of; to improve by labor, care, or study) and creativity (the ability to create; the quality of being creative).
Definition:
- to actively cultivate, grow, and foster creative expression with a focus on caretaking and well-being
Why are posts not public?
The community is set to 'members only' to allow a more personal sharing of insights and anecdotes, etc and to keep any creative efforts (complete or incomplete projects) participants want to share from being public.
Can I post in this community? What can I post?
Yes! Anything about your creative process, your self-discovery into your creativity, or anything sparked by one of the modules. You're also welcome to share things you're working on or that you've been inspired to try. And anything you've found inspirational and would like to talk about!
Do I have to sign up to participate?
No. You can dip in and out as you like.
Do you have any rules?
Just the basic "don't be an asshole" rule.
If someone is discussing something personal to them and you disagree with their conclusions, please think before you respond. We're here to practice grace with ourselves and with each other.
