    About this ebook

    In this treasure of a book, Jan Groenemann invites us on the heroic journey of creativity as a life path.Through inspiring poetry, compelling stories, and creative examples she demonstrates that creativity itself is a path that awakens us to the realm of the sacred and our most authentic self. Creativity is a practice, and this book provides a generous toolbox of techniques on how to practice creativity with intention, curiosity, playfulness, and magic. Jan’s “tools” are not just based on theory but on her very own creative practice and process that have led to her becoming an “artist of being alive.”
