Awakening Creativity

A Sacred Journey to Reclaim Your Inner Artist

By: Carrie Schmitt

Narrated by: LB Neibaur

Have you ever told yourself, “I’m just not creative”? Or perhaps you’re an artist who once burned with passion, only to watch that flame flicker and fade. Too often, we learn that creativity must justify itself—measured by praise, practicality, or perfection. A dismissive teacher, a skeptical loved one, or the weight of self-doubt can slowly turn art into a performance, leaving the joy of creation behind.

In this transformative guide, artist and creativity coach Carrie Schmitt leads you through nine sacred “temples”—each one a sanctuary for healing the wounds that have kept you from your creative birthright. Here, you’ll explore tender reflections, soulful rituals, and liberating practices designed to dissolve perfectionism, quiet the inner critic, and reignite your relationship with Creativity as a sacred, flowing force—not something you have, but something you are.

Along the way, you’ll craft a personal guidebook filled with revelations, blessings, and artwork—a living testament to your unfolding journey. With each step, you’ll remember what your soul has always known: Creativity is not a skill to master, but a spirit to embrace. And it has never stopped calling your name.

We Are All Artists/Creators!

I really enjoyed reading and listening to “AWAKENING CREATIVITY.” The audiobook is pure joy and reminds us that we are all artists/creators. It is so relaxing and inspiring. The first chapter “Temple of Darkness” reminds us how creativity can pull us out of our darkest moments. Put aside stressors and let your body tell you what to create. There are all different kinds of “art.” And there is no hurry because it’s the process that counts. I have found myself looking into Carrie Schmitt and her website more thoroughly. I bought a journal and some paints and am going to try out some landscapes and flowers. I may even take one of her classes.

Read an ARC but also bought the book and get to listen to 1 book a month with Amazon music unlimited.
