The push-pull to perform and create.
I believe all of us have performer and creator desires, and performer/creative wounds.
Our very nature as humans is to share our gifts and talents. And yet, all of us have been met at times with criticism and rejection of our offerings. From young ages, throughout school, from peers, from teachers.
And then if you are pursuing the creative arts as an adult, you probably are putting your gifts on display for auditions, submissions, the socials, newsletters, entrepreneur endeavors.
It’s a big deal.
Especially for sensitive folks.
At heart, that is all of us.
(Maybe that sensitivity is buried under a lot of layers for some.)
Seeking mastery has a blurry line regarding helpful feedback vs criticism that creates wounds. Sometimes our guides and mentors truly are mean or even abusive. Sometimes it’s in the eye/body of the beholder. I know I was sensitive to feedback of all kinds for most of my life - taking it all so personally.
Some of us end up holding back, over-analyzing, self-criticizing, or giving up. We shrink. We self-censor our inspirations.
Rep Rallies are an opportunity to free yourself from these wounds and have a safe space to explore your performing and creative desires.
Usually, musicians come to the Rep Rallies, but I envision this format working for anyone who wants help with their creative flow. Could be for writers, painters, actors, public speakers.
Wherever you need to create something, and you feel held back, bring that project to a Rally. Everyone gets 10 minutes of spotlight time - and you can use that to do any artistic pursuit. You can receive energy work during this time, or accolades from the group, or feedback. It’s all your choice.
