There is power that each if us have to be creative. This message is important to share. Ethan Hawke's short video here has so many important points I can't hit all of them. But watch and drop a comment. I want to talk more about the importance of creativity and the power of healing it brings and that there are so many ways of being creative that is not just the traditional methods others conceive it as.

Witnessing Humanity: The Key to Positive Change Actor Ethan Hawke wisely noted, "When we start to witness each other’s humanity… really good things happen." This statement highlights the transformative power of empathy and understanding. 🍃Empathy in Action In the workplace, empathy fosters trust and collaboration. Leaders and colleagues who show genuine understanding create an environment where teams feel valued and motivated. 🍃Promoting Inclusivity Valuing each other's humanity promotes inclusivity, encouraging appreciation of diverse backgrounds and perspectives. This inclusivity drives innovation and growth. 🍃Stronger Relationships Witnessing humanity builds stronger relationships, both personally and professionally, paving the way for positive change and a more cohesive community. Let's embrace this mindset and witness the good things that follow.

#Art as a #Cognitive Process Fritjof Capra, a well-known physics and systems theory scientist, sees artistic creation as a cognitive process that mirrors the non-linear nature of living systems. Artists often draw on #intuition, #memory, and #imagination, which do not follow a linear path but rather a complex, interconnected process of thought and expression. #NonLinearThinking #Neurodiversity

Ethan says it so well. What do you love? Do you follow that love? Do you know what brings you joy? Do you know yourself? Can you explain why the best parts of your week were the best parts of your week? Are you able to embrace your creativity? Can you give name to your strengths? Are you able to satisfy your strengths? What makes you feel most alive? What helps you to make sense of how you feel? How might knowing yourself better lead to greater fulfilment, perhaps not just for you but those around you? How would the happiness levels of people in your life be higher by experiencing a happy, centred you?

Learning to express ourselves in more than one language (with intention and muance) allows us to understand ourselves more richly and to share our experiences from multiple perspectives. Instructors at Beacon BCS can help. #lamguage #expressyourself #becreative #english #spanish
