We are all born creative yet many people have come to believe they are not artists and have learned through life-long enculturation to suppress or deny their natural creative impulse. The obstacles that impede authentic self-expression often appear as self-doubt, comparison, fear of failure, or questioning the right to call oneself artistic at all. No matter where you stand on the creative continuum, the Creatrix archetype which is established in this book, affirms that everyone belongs in this unified field.

We use the term “Creatrix” to describe an energetic (and highly intelligent) imaginal figure and informant of our lives. “Creatrix” originates from the Latin word “creare,” meaning “to create.” It embodies the nurturing and life-giving aspects of creation both in the literal sense of giving birth and metaphorically in bringing about new and inspired ideas, innovations, or soulful creations.

Creatrix Generation is sectioned into four parts: Body, Mind, Heart and Soul, and how the creative spirit lives in each. The aspiration is for you to expand into your full potential through the reframe that creativity is not a skill to be acquired, but is an ever-evolving experience to be remembered and nourished—a natural way of seeing and interacting with the world. ◊
