The creative inventory meeting is a time for digging deep and finding answers that will help us understand our creative development through a selection of questions and topics related to the theme of the season. The circle selects questions and then engages in discussions from the list.

Within each of us lives an intrinsic reading shelf where our emotional and intellectual responses to all the things we have ever read are stored and assimilated. This vast library has molded and shaped our paths and surprises us with new thoughts and ideas to pursue our passions. The spring creative inventory questions will have you recalling the influences of your personal reading shelf and lead you to new insights and visions for living your creativity.

spring creative inventory questions and topics:

Have you ever had a book magically fall into your lap and change your whole way of thinking ?

Do you tend to drift to other thoughts while reading or do you remain tightly focused on the subject?

Do you have special places where you like to read? Does the subject matter exemplify this? Where is your ideal place to read. As a child, where was your favorite place to read?

Have you ever read a novel where one of the character's lives parallels your own?

Do your reading habits change with the shifting of the seasons?
