Curiosity

Studies

A study is thinking made visible. It has no deadline and no deliverable.

“An artist studies the subject. In LifeArts, the subject is your life.”

Study

Belongs to curiosity

Examines a subject or an experience. It does not necessarily require a decision, and it is not finished by being completed.

Review

Belongs to navigation

Usually looks back at activity or experience in order to decide what continues, what changes, and what is released.

Stepping Back — a posture, not a stage

Artists change distance. They stop working into a creation, walk away, return with fresher eyes, look from another angle. In LifeArts, Stepping Back can happen anywhere in the Spiral.

“Step back far enough to see what you’re making.”

We aren’t necessarily looking for what is wrong. We’re trying to see what is there.
