Tami Lynn Kent has written an inspiring guide for calling forth the creative energies that transform daily experience into a soulful adventure that is wildly alive and deeply fulfilling.

Donna Eden , author of Energy Medicine

An inspiring analysis of creativity and wholeness from one of the most pioneering gurus of the mind-body connection in women.

Naomi Wolf , author of Vagina: A New Biography

Tamis wonderfully wild book presents a clear model for the creative field, a three-fold energetic field that enables us to flow into our dreams-and flow our dreams into our everyday lives. After reading Wild Creative , I asked myself: What dream-wings am I wearing and where might I meet an eagle at the waters edge? By merging our truest masculine and feminine aspects, we can (finally) create our truest livesand selves.

Cyndi Dale , intuitive, energy healer and author of The Subtle Body

Wild Creative is the medicine that we all need to restore our power, spirit, and joy in everyday life. This book will teach you to build an energetic framework matching the potency of your soul.

TO ALL THE WILD CREATIVES

THE WORLD NEEDS YOU TO DREAM

AND TO BRING YOUR DREAMS TO LIFE.

Dear Reader,

I invite you to journey into the creative fieldthe place between spirit and body where the energy to manifest your dreams resides. Your creative field is perfectly designed for making your best life, but there is little guidance for knowing how to access this place. In working with thousands of women (and, increasingly, the men in their lives), Ive found that happiness and energy health is related to creative expression. The ability to attune with ones inner creative landscape is a direct measure of ones creative abundance. And this ability can be cultivated with practice.

Whether you want to discover your creativity now or you already feel creative but desire to increase this potential, this book contains energy meditations, stories, and hands-on tools. It reveals a framework for understanding and expanding the multidimensional aspects of creative expression across the range of your life.

You are inherently creative. Your creative energy is relevant and essential for bringing your dreams into being. May you know the power, spirit, and joy of your wild creative range.
