Creativity creates creativity.

 The world is dishonest that’s the truth, if we are honest .we are told lies from the day we are born and well into our childhoods by those we depend on for survival. They are relatively harmless stories but  we soon discover that Father Christmas the Tooth fairy and other such tales are  not real. we discover that not everything that we are told is as we would be liked to believe. At the same time we are told to tell the truth, that’s what good people do .

Surrounded by so much incongruence the truth becomes a fantasy phenomenon that we are left with little aid to navigate and thus we develop our own internal process of deciding what the truth is and with this take on an imbalanced sense of what honesty is. People can become full of distrust to the world around and themselves, often developing  denial (a long term adopted untruth about oneself) in numerable areas of their lives, often leading to extravagant behaviours, performed in order to maintain, for they perceive the true nature of themselves to be so unbearable. How is it that people can live thinking such low things of themselves, where did these judgments develop? Does any good come from these reluctancies to show the world the real truth about oneself, can you really be considered fully honest if you hide aspects of character away? What avenues in life may remain shut until a full a disclosure of oneself has occurred?

Okay getting far too deep, but there is a point to the blurb above. I am a recovering alcoholic and for the last ten years I worked in rehabilitation as a therapist. I saw many many people try to change their lives, i didn’t see a great deal actually manage it. But those that did, and have gone on to lead enjoyable free and happy lives did have certain things in common. The first was they maintained treatment, even for many years after the initial contact they continued to do the basics that helped them change the path they were on in the first pace. The second, and this is the one we are interested in is that the all got very honest. Honest about what they truly had passions for as well as the more negative aspects of their lives. Many of them had struggled to express their loves, desires, aspirations and talents. By these we do not mean anything particulary grand like standing on the moon or becoming a billionaire, but simply things like playing in a band, writing poetry, becoming a painter, a dancer or even just learning to sing. These are the little aspirations that so often people keep to themselves for fear of ridicule by others. These little dreams tho are often taken kept Im hiding through peoples lives . Those I have helped along the way who have done well did not keep these things secret, they engaged in them no matter how daunting they may have seemed to them. These activities and engaging in them are the key to finding your true friends, people who you can truly share a passion together. When surrounded by people of like mind, the world becomes a friendlier place, not so alien or foreign. There are people like you out there. But there needs to be a place to nourish these little seeds of actual life. That is what we intend to do. With the goal of actually having tangible product to show for it, wether that be through the form of records, performances, painting,

Participation events, or simply just a connecting people to the right people hub. 

We know first hand of numerous people just in the local area who are crying out for a, I find it hard to think of a better word “fellowship” of this kind. So many people sit tinkering guitars in guitars in hiding, when they could be playing with others. They could form a band themselves and those motivated may do that, but that is never as easy as it sounds, and perhaps that sort of commitment is too much, but booking a little time to come play amd work on some songs with us in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere may just make their day, and who knows what new avenues of life it may lead to. Creativity creates creativity, and creativity is in essence the birth of something new. The people I have seen who get well have all given birth to something new in their lives, it has to be that way to change. We want to and believe we can help accommodate this process.
