Shamanism as Creative Visionary work

​

There is a Creative Visionary within us all.  Essentially this is the part of us we each have to claim in order to make a life lived in keeping with our true knowing and desire.  Through time the Creative Visionary has featured in all cultures and civilisations.

 

The Creative Visionary is the artist, the leader, the planner and the inspired one. In Scotland, the Creative Visionary has been the archetypal seer.  She/he can also be known as the shaman, curandero,  bard, storyteller, healer, magician, witch or the medicine person amongst lots of other titles.  To be a Creative Visionary is to sit alone and attune to the story within.  It is also to sit with another and make space for the vision to emerge in the field between.  So the Creative Visionary is also the counsellor or the empathic listener. 

 

Creative Vision is an innovative model working to bring the Visionary to life in everyone in order to create a clear collective vision for our planet.

​
