What does it take to be creative? Cathryn Lloyd’s book Seriously Playful Creativity: An A to Z of Creative Action and Reflection may seriously challenge your perception.
 
Cathryn Lloyd turns any blinkered thoughts about creativity being limited to the world’s artistic souls, contending that opportunities for creativity are everywhere, every day.  Seriously Playful Creativity will encourage you to converse, ponder, tinker, improvise and dream: to be bold and playful; to take risks.
 
Allow yourself to dip in and see what happens. You may just reveal a side to yourself and your world that’s been overlooked.

Founder, The Happydemic

Seriously Playful Creativity has given me permission to believe something I’ve always felt deep in my soul – that I am a creative person even though I am not particularly artistic.  It’s a refreshing way to think and I’ve found myself looking at many every day things in a different light.  
 
Creativity is like life, it’s everywhere but if you don’t stop and pay attention, it just passes you by.  I am very grateful for the reminder to stop, look differently and create and relish the enjoyment of the process.   This book is a unique gem.

Cathryn Lloyd Maverick Minds has just released her publication Seriously Playful Creativity: An A to Z of Creative Action and Reflection (2020)

This is an A-Z (Cathryn has used the alphabet as an organising device for the book contents) of multiple creative practices. It is a resource which is both affirming – if you are already a creative person- and inspiring – if you were wanting some good ideas about how to be creative. In my opinion, the book is being published at a really suitable time when more and more people are realising the importance of creativity in supporting resilience and working with complexity. You can read more about the book and purchase a copy on Maverick Minds website Seriously Playful Creativity | Creative Leadership Wellbeing Innovation Program Brisbane (maverickminds.com.au)  It is also stocked in Brisbane at the QAG/GOMA and SLQ bookstores.

It’s inspiring to have an opportunity to consider creativity in a new light!

Cathryn asks in her book about attitudes to creativity and what came up for me was that I have barriers to actually using my creativity. The usual story is that I’m not good enough since it’s not perfect. And then came the turnaround- it’s not about perfectionism it’s about having some fun and being curious. Thanks for connecting the dots.

In my work as a counselling therapist, I have now found that I am encouraging clients to find their inner creative place.  Thanks to dear Cat for the inspirations.
