Linda Schierse Leonard, renowned Jungian analyst, teacher, and best-selling author, demonstrates the many parallels among the cycles, moods, and landscapes of nature and the phases of the creative process -- parallels that can foster inspiration, renewal, and hope. Many artists face profound challenges in the course of their creative work, and many more people do not think of themselves as creative at all, though their everyday discoveries, work, and personal lives can be deeply creative acts. Leonard shows how nature and creativity are healing and even necessary tools, and how we can use our energies to move through dark times so we can be ready to receive and actualise creativity. By understanding how to cultivate our "inner helpers" -- characters and archetypal patterns that rise up within us as we go about imagining a better life -- we can appreciate and develop creativity in all our endeavours.
