The Shakti of Creativity
Reawakening the body, imagination and soul.
What if your creativity was not something to force, but something to listen to?
Drawing from her work as a somatic practitioner, and artist, Poonam explores the powerful relationship between the body, creativity, and healing. Through personal stories, embodied wisdom, and reflective practices, she invites audiences to reconnect with creativity as a living force, one that nourishes, heals, and transforms.
This talk explores how slowing down, reawakening the senses, and cultivating a more devotional relationship with making can support greater self-trust, authentic expression, and creative freedom.
Poonam will share how creativity is more than productivity or output. It is a sacred, primal life force: Shakti energy, a potent moving energy through us, calling us into deeper relationship with ourselves, our intuition, and the world around us.
During this talk, Poonam will guide you through:
Creativity as Shakti: the sacred force of creation
Art as Sadhana: making as a devotional practice
The healing power of authentic expression
Reawakening the senses through texture, touch, and presence

“An artist is an artist before they have ever produced a single thing. The production of something is not what makes a body an artist. It is the soul that makes an artist, the core of the psyche that fills the person, the creative fire inside a person that make them an artist. And if that person has the soul of an artist, that is they have the burning as each and every individual does, then they are an artist, they are entitled to the title artist, we are all entitled to the title artist before we have produced one single thing.”
