I hosted my first online DragonPod call today.
30 minutes with a simple invitation:
Create something. Give it to someone who isn’t expecting it.
And I discovered something fascinating.
Both participants were completely willing to create, but stalled at the idea of sharing.
“I’d have to find a three year-old to give it to,” one said.
“Oh, I won’t be giving it to anyone. If I do that, I won’t create anything at all.”
There it was.
It’s not creating that scares us so much as the idea of being seen.
Now I begin to understand why more people haven’t been taking the DragonHeart Quest, and perhaps why doing it together is so powerful.
We were born to create and be seen.
Lately, my community has been explicitly asking to be witnessed. Here we are, deeply longing to be recognized, and yet afraid to be seen.
This is where the DragonHeart awakens.
In the moment when you feel the hesitation and move through it.
You discover that no feeling can hurt you or stop you from expressing.
I won’t make this Quest more comfortable so people can stay in hiding. I won’t waiver in my dedication to coax this spark to life.
The magic is in the giving. One small, brave act at a time.
And another unexpected gift happened for me on that call.
I created this little painting.
Nascente para voar is Portuguese for “You were born to fly.”
Someone said, “I think that’s your logo and tagline.”
Hmmm.
Voar.
So visually close to roar.
You were born to fly. You were born to roar.
You never know what will happen when you dip into the Well of Creativity and let it move you.
So here’s your invitation:
Take the DragonHeart Quest. Unleash your wild creation and let it be seen.
Or if it feels easier to do it with friends, join me for the next online DragonPod.
We’ll create together.
We’ll witness one another.
We’ll allow ourselves to be seen.
You were born for this.
Yours in love and play,
Steph 🐲❤️🔥
