Drawing to Free the Hand and Mind

128 pages paperback, 67 color illustrations, 47 black & white illustrations

The Confident Creative uses drawing as a way to enter into the meditative state of connection, one that leads us to our core creative selves. It uses specific exercises tested and developed by The Saturday Morning Drawing Club in Boston, exercises that are guaranteed to nurture the imagination, free the mind, and explore the excitement of visual expression. This is not the “drawing” we learned in grade school!

In these pages you’ll find that there are many ways to draw, from making marks to drawing from life and imagination – and you'll discover that everyone can do it and enjoy it. Both the beginner and the practiced artist will find ways to grow skills and take creative leaps. Through the simple practice of drawing we’ll come to identify the obstacles of the mind that inhibit us and learn specific ways to overcome these obstacles with ease. The practice of drawing and making art in a mindful yogic way connects us with our higher selves from which we can create whatever we wish with confidence.

The book is filled with inspirational art from a variety of artists, all of whom go beyond literal rendering and into the realm of powerful personal expression. Artists, writers, musicians and all who wish to live creative, authentic lives will find ways to grow creative confidence here.

A Pilgrim's Guide to the Camino Portuguès
A Pilgrim's Guide to the Camino Portuguès

by John Brierley

Welcome, fellow pilgrim, to the Camino Portuguès. There are many pilgrim paths to Santiago but there is none more soulful and significant than the Portuguese Way. And there is none so intimately connected with the actual life and ministry of St. James as well as his death and burial. It was here that he first preached Christ's message in Iberia and it was also along this route that his body made its last journey to Libredon, later to become known and loved all over the world as Santiago de Compostela.
