Bradie ~ Healing Handcrafting
@bradiehansen.bsky.social
I'm a therapist, writer, weaver, teacher, and student and am especially interested in expression and healing through fiber arts and mixed media. You can find out more about what I do at www.healinghandcrafting.com
In the last week, I've had several conversations with people about how important it is to be in relationship with your creativity. Very timely as this month's installment of Summoning Creativity was ready to share. #creativity #creative #health #wellbeing

summer always brings a burst of energy and inspiration for me. a topic that comes up a lot in the classes i teach is creative energy, and how to keep it flowing. i'm going to make a point of writing about this every month, and here's the first go. #creativity #energy #inspiration #art

I haven’t been able to weave lately because of a back injury, but some writing erupted in response to US politics. Any way we can healthfully metabolize what is going on, we must engage with. Creativity keeps us limber and open to ideas. Maybe this poem will resonate with you.

Who we are and how we express ourselves has been on my mind a lot lately. Here’s a bit on thinking I’ve done on how defining ourselves intersects with creativity. #creativity #differentiation #anxiety #thinking #bowentheory
Monday’s Musings~ Creativity and Defining Self

Hello to you all! I'm new to this platform and wanted to introduce myself. I'm looking for a new place to get to share what I'm up to while connecting with others who are creatively expressing themselves. Now back to prep for weaving!
