About Creative Souls
How it all started
After a difficult and challenging time in my life that led to a lengthy period of depression, I found solace in poetry. It was a cathartic and healing experience for me. Inspired by this, I decided to create a space where others could experience the same. I found a venue, and a year later an amazing event has continually evolved called ‘Creative Souls.’ We come together as a collective, a group of Creative Souls. Our words have become a source of healing for all of us, but also an inspiration for all of us – fuelling further creativity, with an array of beautiful art and with music in the mix too.
We have grown into a collaborative community that is welcoming and accepting – with no judgement and continual support – which really is greater than the sum of its parts… described by members as ‘a spiritual warm hug’ and ‘alchemy… when we get together something magical happens’.
What started as an experiment to see if poetry, spoken word, music and art would attract like-minded performers and audiences has now grown into regular sell-out events encouraging both first timers who have not shared their words before as well as more seasoned performers, who support and value each others’creativity – we laugh and we cry and we cheer and we have become friends – as Einstein said ‘creativity is intelligence having fun’.
