Anne Cushman explores how mindfulness and creativity feed each other through guided practices, research insights, and lived stories. We trade perfection for presence, play with color and movement, and learn to follow the thread of aliveness into honest work.

• opening space through breath and softening
• honoring life as inherently creative
• reconciling the teacher and the artist selves
• lessons from Spirit Rock creativity retreats
• research on focus, divergence and resilience
• embodiment as the foundation for art
• quick sensory writing to prime awareness
• emotions as fuel and material for making
• movement meditation to trust inner impulse
• lowering standards to escape perfectionism
• visiting scary edges with care and consent
• mandala drawing practice within a circle
• “I am” free writing to outrun the critic
• process over product as a creative ethic
