CM_Izmir : Release : Elif Aydemir

Take a breath. exhale. Let it go. Let the wind roll over you, let the water flow still, feel the tension behind your eyes relax. Release is a universal law, and each leads to an increase in tension. Everything from flowers to trees has to do this to survive.

Release is a critical part of growth, healing, and transformation. We can free each other from our insistence. We can be the means of each other's salvation. This is what gives the words “I'm setting you free” their power.

What happens when we let go of feelings, expectations, habits, relationships, or thoughts that no longer serve us? What are we releasing in ourselves? What are we releasing into the world?

CreativeMornings/Portsmouth chose “Release” as the theme for August and Allie Runnion illustrated.

The language of the event, which will take place on Friday, August 20 via Zoom, is Turkish.
