Cultivating Creativity Through Grace

Suzanne in meditation

Often, people wonder how fashion designers tap into their creativity.  For Suzanne Wyman, designer of Yes World Boutique and Yes Lifestyle Organics, the process is quite unique.  She uses yoga, meditation song and dance to develop her present moment consciousness.  

It is from that opening that Suzanne reconnects with her creative energy.

Om Shanti Retreat, Ontario, Canada

This cultivation of the creative process goes deep as she taps into her soul to clear out blockages that may distract her from her true passion.  

To bring in the new year, 2012, she went to the beautiful and peaceful  Shanti Retreat


to spend 4 intensive days in meditation, yoga and kirtan singing/chanting with a small group of other devoted individuals.  Wendy, co director of the retreat, started each morning with a heart opening yoga practice.

Cradled in the gentle teaching and guidance of Diane Yeo, the group was thoughtfully and carefully lead through meditation several times a day.  

Diane comes from the heart and is passionate about connecting with people and exploring the infinite peace, love and silence within. 

"Clearing my mind opens up so much space for creativity", says Suzanne. 

Heart warming, joyeous, devotional chart artist, Brenda McMorrow created a musical journey that  unveiled and celebrated our true beings through the power of sound.  Singing in Sanskrit to specific chants, the group was supported in their foray into 2012.

Brenda will start her Eastern US and Canadian tour in April, 2012, then she's off to Europe in May/June. 

“Brenda is a powerhouse: a strong and supple voice, sublime songwriting, a compassionate presence, steady wisdom, and a great sense of humor. Traveling and singing with her is incredibly fun. I’d follow her anywhere.”

- Dave Stringer

"Brenda McMorrow's CD Ameya is truly a lush offering in every sense, communicating her abundant devotion in a way which speaks to the heart and caresses the ears with spiritual sweetness and a rich palette of musical diversity"
