Where creative energy really begins

We often think of creative energy as something we generate—through willpower, momentum, or action. But what if it begins before any of that?

This week, we’re slowing down to explore what happens before the first mark. Before movement. Before the idea forms. Where does creative energy actually begin in the body—and what shifts when you draw from that deeper root?

You’ll learn how to sense your energetic foundation, so everything feels less forced and more fluid.

This episode includes:

• why creative impulse doesn’t start in the hand
• how to locate your root before movement
• a somatic drawing practice to draw from within, not toward

This space isn’t about performance. it’s about orientation. and when you begin from where your energy lives, creative rhythm becomes steadier—more honest, more sustainable.
