475: Verbs to help us reclaim and reconnect with ourselves

Once I began reflecting on the verbs that got me into trouble as a kid, I got curious about two things:First, how might these verbs show me myself as I am now?And second, what are your verbs?Zoom Summary:In this episode of Art, Creativity, and Wellbeing, Kay Lock Kolp discussed the concept of identifying and examining "verbs" as a way to understand behavior, curiosity, and interests. Drawing from her experience as an early childhood educator and personal reflections on her health journey, Kay explained how focusing on verbs can help people reconnect with activities that bring joy and well-being. She shared how certain behaviors that were once seen as problematic, such as talking excessively or creating art, can be reclaimed as positive aspects of life. Kay announced a series of upcoming workshops focused on various themes including favorite verbs, creativity, and well-being, with the first workshop "A Few of Your Favorite Verbs" scheduled for April 27th.InvitationsUpcoming workshop: A Few of Your Favorite VerbsLearn more and register at my events page.Come to the retreat that I’m hosting in SeptemberOr, hear more about itCome be in company with some like-minded soulsConnect with me to talk about coaching or facilitationOr, apply to work 1-1 with meThank you for being here with me.
