Creative ManiFestival Day 15

For the past two days, we played with the idea of taking "stuff" that you didn't need anymore and making something out of it.

You made something "on the fly"...and it's up to you to determine what you want to do with it (i.e. completely dismantle it, give it away, throw it away, or keep it).

The purpose of that simple exercise was to demonstrate how objects that drain us CAN be utilized in different combinations or structures to create something.

Tomorrow, we're going to take this idea and place it in the context of the Universe's cycle of giving and receiving. To prepare for that, it's time to do a quick check-in.

TODAY'S MANIFESTIVAL

Express yourself, responding to these questions.

You could:

- Write the answers
- Sing the answers
- Think and visualize the answers while moving your body
- Create a collage or other visual imagery to symbolize your answers
- Anything else you can thing of!

The questions are:

1. If I told you that I had a venue in which you could sell the creation you fashioned in the last two days, what is your response?

2. If the answer is "Ok, sounds good"...are there any hesitations involved with selling this particular creation?

3. If your response was "no way"...why? Why would you not want to sell it?

4. What would need to be different about THE ITEM in order for you to feel you could sell it?

5. What would need to be different about YOU in order for you to feel you could sell it?

6. What would need to be different about the UNIVERSE in order for you to feel you could sell it?

6. What is your INITIAL response to this statement: "You CAN earn money from the things you create?"

7. What is your INITIAL response to this statement: "You CAN earn LOTS of money from the things you create?"

Lots of good stuff here...and more tomorrow!
