Creativity is Medicine for the Soul
Follow Your Spark is your guide to nurturing creativity as a means of healing, self-expression, and finding happiness and purpose.
It introduces "The Creative Cycle," a structured yet intuitive process that helps you follow your creative impulses, overcome challenges, and grow personally.
“You haven’t escaped anything
unless you go onto something”
Gregory David Roberts, Shantaram
We put Creativity First.
We follow our Creative Spark.
We let the first spark of creativity live unedited.
We welcome new creativity with kindness.
We trust our hearts and hands to express themselves.
We dedicate time to creativity each week.
We attune to our waves of self expression
We share our creativity bravely so that we overcome our fears, repair our wounds, and evolve our ideas.
We mirror and reflect each others brilliance
We support each other to overcome fears and shine.
We celebrate small steps often, so that large achievements become effortless.
We practice receiving deep recognition for who we are
"Andrew, the way you hold and guide the container for these
groups is so special-your sensitivity, listening, and deep care can
be palpably felt and invites healing and expression on many
levels. Truly mastertul. It is rare and appreciated beyond words."
Emilia Ann
"Words cannot express the gratitude I feel. Thank you for listening and believing in me. Cant believe the conversation had so much impact on me. It helped me get out of my stuck place."
Rea Penton
"I just wanted to thank you for helping me move through a huge fear block that had really been limiting my life. Catch me on a stage soon!"
Staria Clark
"You have a way of completely coming from the heart, it's a beautiful thing to see. Just your presence gives people permission to express their heart. I didn't know my creativity is so connected to my own trauma".
Lawrence
"I'm feeling more connected to my spark than I have in a really long time. I can go back to my core to move forward. I don't know that I've ever been so deeply connected to, and in community."

Andrew Newman is the acclaimed author and visionary behind www.ConsciousStories.com
The surprise discovery of his own creative talents in his early 30’s inspired Andrew’s deep interest in the healing potential of creative self-expression, and the cost of withholding this essential flow of life.
His writing and workshops map The Creative Cycle offering an intuitive user manual on how to steer your creative spark towards abundant and free, healing, happiness and purpose.
Andrew says "The remedy to alleviate depression & aloneness lies in prioritizing the connection to your unique creative spark and summoning courage to fully express the visions of your heart."
