One True Thing: a Spiritual Archaeology Expedition with Elle Billing
What's the One True Thing at the heart of your art? In this transformative workshop, we'll explore how to uncover the essential truth that drives your creative practice. Drawing from cognitive science and the way human brains are wired for storytelling, we'll use techniques from my Spiritual Archaeology framework to dig beneath surface inspirations and find the deeper resonance in your work. This isn't about finding the "right" meaning - it's about discovering what genuinely moves you to create, and understanding how universal story structures can help you infuse that truth into your art, no matter what medium you prefer.
Through guided exercises and reflective practices, you'll learn the power and simplicity of One True Thing, and how this core truth can elevate the reset of your artwork, moving beyond mere self-expression into the realm of relatable human experience. By understanding how our brains construct narratives, you'll learn to create work that feels both deeply personal and profoundly relatable. Whether you're struggling with creative blocks or seeking deeper connection with your art practice, this workshop will help you anchor your work in authentic truth while maintaining the joy of artistic exploration
