Since 2000, Dan has been engaged in developing a creative process that he calls “From Strait to Create”. This unique process deals with discovering the individual’s core creative origins: where does it come from? why do we create the things we do? or why don’t we create the things we would like to? where does creation start from within our deepest self, and how can we transfer the creation from the deepest self to the most outer world? what does it all have to do with our “pains” and unsolved issues? how do these issues reflect our outcome in the world?
Dan started this journey after dealing with his own hurdles of life. During the year 2000, Dan suffered from post-trauma as a result of his army service as a combat medic soldier in Lebanon between the years 1983- 1986.
“When my post-trauma broke through my whole world has changed, it was as if your base has collapsed, your set of rules and understandings were lost, and so, I had to “re-start” and redefine my world. I knew that the only thing that will help me find my way out of this post-trauma will be to utilize my creative ability to overcome this. Slowly, I started to create new construction and by deconstructing the creative process, I could track the next step of my journey.”
“From Strait to Create”, is a powerful short term method by which one can find his inner creative source and belief, understand why it’s there, decide if he would like to leave it there or create a new belief instead. This method helps one to open himself to the process of creation and understanding why it’s all worthwhile.
Dan has gone through this creative process with students, fellow artists, people in the quest of change, and lately with high tech companies’ management teams who are looking to focus and deepen their understanding of the creative process as a tool of creating a unique and powerful outcome.
Dan believes that the creator is the creation and the art is the outcome, and therefore it is our responsibility to embrace change by deepening our awareness of the path that we are creating in our lives.
Dan lectures and gives workshops about the method to groups and individuals, including an option to include hands-on experience. To arrange a personal or a group meeting, please leave your details below and we will get back to you shortly!
