A Five-Day Free Symposium Recognizing the Fourth Anniversary of Climate Change & Consciousness (www.cccearth.org) — a VIRTUAL Event
April 17th to April 21st, 2023
8 am - 10am PST
Co-Facilitated by Stephanie Mines and Kathleen Brigidina
“Creativity Rising” recognizes a momentous creative shift in our collective consciousness.
Bringing together a multidisciplinary panel of visionary creatives, biologists, indigenous wisdom keepers, land guardians, scientists, and community builders who are joining forces to ignite a surge of innovative solutions to address the environmental challenges and devastating social impacts of climate change, pollution, deforestation, and loss of biodiversity. Just as CCC, in 2019, marked a watershed in consciousness, so does Creativity Rising herald a new wave of awareness and action.
Creativity Rising calls forth all of humanity's harmonious creative energy as an abundance of light for our world at risk. Each day we will also feature somatic engagements from eco-artists, musicians, and healers. Together let us reimagine, reinvent and recreate a world where Earth is not just seen as a resource to be exploited but as a sacred, conscious and creative ecosystem that cares for and sustains all life. Creativity Rising is a cornucopia of brilliance reflecting the earth’s abundant love within humanity’s creativity.

Co-facilitaor- Kathleen Brigidina
Kathleen’s deeply passionate connection to Nature, creativity, and the liberation of the feminine voice, has influenced her life’s work for the last three decades. Guiding her to become a creative nature healing practitioner/doula/coach, facilitator, poet/writer, water ceremonialist, sacred Earth artist/designer, speaker, inspiring interview host, book illustrator, meditation/visualization guide and evolutionary community gatherer.
Kathleen believes creative expression is more than a special gift for a select few, it's linked to our DNA, connected to Nature’s creation energy, and available to everyone one of us for individual growth and healing as well as our collective transformation for the good of the whole.
Kathleen studied at The Chicago Art Institute, going on to teach various art forms, design, as well as coordinating many in person eco events for the community. Including coordinating a sustainability curriculum for six community colleges, and teaching painting at a local county jail. She is grateful to have worked with some of the most amazing teachers and mentors, including Barbara Marx Hubbard - founder of The Conscious Evolution, Katia Peterson - director of education for The Institute of Noetic Sciences, Dan Creeley - founder of Northeastern College’s Global Indigenous Peace Fire and Clare Dubois - Founder of TreeSisters NP Organization. www.Brigidina.com You can also reach Kathleen at Art@brigidina.com
