Creativity Found: finding creativity later in life

Creativity Found: finding creativity later in life

Claire Waite Brown

How does creativity benefit our lives as grown-ups? I'm Claire, and I re-found my creativity after a time of almost crippling anxiety. Now I want to share the stories of other people who have found or re-found their creativity as adults, and hopefully inspire many more grown-ups to get creative.I chat with my guests about their childhood experiences of creativity and the arts, how they came to the creative practices they now love, the barriers they had to overcome to start their creative re-awakening, and how what they do now benefits their whole lives.

Lucky Star Show & Tell Podcast
Lucky Star Show & Tell Podcast
Did you go to summer camp as a kid and now, as an adult, find yourself yearning for those carefree days of uninterrupted fun, exciting new friendships, and endless creativity? Maybe you didn’t go to camp, but find that you’re daydreaming of a happy place where the cares of the everyday hustle and grind are left behind for a magical moment in time carved out just for YOU. An experience like this exists, and it’s called Lucky Star Art Camp! Lucky Star is a women’s art and whole living sleepaway camp that takes place each fall in the Texas hill country. This is no art retreat in a hotel conference room…and no, we’re not camping in tents… we’re actually “glamping” in climate controlled cabins that are built into the hillside overlooking the Guadalupe River, and we’re eating gourmet, chef-prepared food in a dining hall like we’re at Hogwarts! We’re fully immersed in creative workshops like jewelry making, astrology, mixed media collage, apothecary, abstract painting, writing, sewing, yoga, welding, pottery, and we’ve even had classes on raising alpacas and tomahawk throwing! No dishes, no laundry, no driving kids, and no deadlines or demanding bosses. Just a solid five days to be YOU because we believe in the importance of discovering/reigniting the authentic part of you that makes you feel ALIVE and we know that CREATIVITY can be a powerful catalyst for growth, healing, self-care, connection, and just the spark you need to thrive. Here on the Lucky Star Show + Tell Podcast, your host, Founder and Director of Lucky Star, Lisa Field, will tell you all about this unique women’s retreat experience and introduce you to the talented artists, skilled crafters, and rockstar creatives who will be teaching the workshops at our upcoming camp. We want you to get to know them beyond just their bio and what you see on social media and feel a connection before you drive through the gates of camp. Even if you aren’t yet one of our happy campers, we think you’ll enjoy following along as we embrace authenticity to self, celebrate creativity, encourage adventure, and “show and tell” about the women of Lucky Star. When we’re not at camp learning, laughing, making, and singing by the campfire, we’re a thriving creative community of supportive women known as the Lucky Star Galaxy and we’d love for you to join us!
