Deep Creativity: Seven Ways to Spark Your Creative Spirit
A deeply intimate exploration of the "7 Ways" to creativity led by three authors whose collaboration provides meditations on the creative process as well as practical and reflective exercises.
Reignite your creative spark with accessible meditations and practices developed by three experts on creativity and collaboration across three generations. Whether you’re a filmmaker, writer, musician, artist, graphic designer, dabbler, or doodler, all creative people face the challenges of myriad distractions and pressure to produce. Devoting space for the creative spark has become increasingly difficult.
Deep Creativity is a call for making that space and an invitation to intentionally and introspectively engage with the creative life through seven time-tested pathways, available to you right where you are.
The authors’ novel approach includes fifteen principles of creativity that not only inspire but also set you up for a lifetime of self-expression. This highly resourceful book offers practical guidance as well as deep reflection on the creative process.
“Deep Creativity will live on my favorite bookshelf, alongside The Artist’s Way, Bird by Bird, Flow, and Big Magic, all books that inspire the creative spirit”
What Deep Creativity adds is inspiration for the creative soul, diving deep as the others fly high. The authors, three voices from three generations, draw the reader into an open-hearted, open-ended conversation. They share personal stories and universal struggles, then invite us in to creatively examine our own thoughts, feelings, memories, and dreams as we explore and deepen our own creative potential.
“Deep Creativity is a call to acknowledge each person’s originality that inspires their creativity.”
The authors tell us that if we are faithful to our own idiosyncratic gifts and ignore the voice of the critic, desire and love will fuel our creative fire. What inspires me most about this delightful book are the stories told by each author about their unique creative process and the reflections they offer the reader at the end of each chapter to spark our creative spirit.

What People are Saying:
Deep Creativity
—Cheri Steinkellner, corecipient winner of four Emmys, two Golden Globes, a Writers Guild Award, and multiple other awards for writing and producing Cheers and Teacher’s Pet
"Deep Creativity is an appeal, reminder, and summons to engage the autonomous “Other” that resides within each of us just outside the range of ego intentionality."
The authors appeal to our innate desire to create the world around us and to reclaim our coauthorship of experience that seeks incarnation in the world through us. Through examples and precepts, they lead the reader into a new experience of what is oldest in each of us.”—James Hollis, PhD, author of Living an Examined Life
"The title alone calls one to reflection and adventure."
The chapters propel us deeper while the topics assist in our soul’s singing when engaged in the art of creativity, an act that makes us all feel alive. These three muses touch our souls in ways only poetic writing can, while simultaneously providing the inspiration for the reader to reach for a pen, brush, instrument, or their creative method of choice. The readings are like medicine, with a probable side effect of propelling others to be creative.”—G. Kwame Scruggs, PhD, founder and director of Alchemy, Inc.
"The practices within this book are like portals into which one enters a deeply creative and healing space."
Without much effort, and in a myriad of ways, we are led closer to the creative force that calls to each of us. The poems, images, stories, and contemplations in Deep Creativity stir even the dimmest of embers within the reader, and page by page the creative fire is reignited. Thank you to Deborah, Jennifer, and Dennis for weaving a path that leads us back to the creative life. Your collaborative voices in Deep Creativity make a sum much more generous than its parts.”—Kim Krans, creator of The Wild Unknown
Soul Bird: Poems for Flying
Debut Collection of Poetry by Deborah Quibell
Somewhere in the gap between the sacred and the profane, Deborah's poetry emerges to bring us into a more intimate relationship with the divine presence within and all around us. Her debut collection, SOUL BIRD, evokes a natural and accessible form of mysticism--each piece a poetic song of the soul, encouraging the heart of her readers (as well as her own) to awaken and take flight.
This book will bring the magic of mysticism back into your everyday life, help you to rise above self-imposed limitations, and cultural conditioning, and (re)inspire a holy pursuit of love and wonder that is only yours.
What others are saying :
"Deborah's words cut through our armor because a place within our souls, previously hidden, is revealed; because, for a few suspended dream-like moments, protected truths peek out, wide eyed and hopeful, only to more boldly dance their way out, draw us close and wrap us in an embrace like no other."
"Inspiring, healing, nurturing, calming and beautiful!"
"Deborah is a one of a kind writer of mystical magic and magical realism. Her writing captivates the soul."
"Deborah's words cut through our armor because a place within our souls, previously hidden, is revealed;
because, for a few suspended dream-like moments, protected truths peek out, wide eyed and hopeful, only to more boldly dance their way out, draw us close and wrap us in an embrace like no other."
"I happened upon this poet on Instagram, and fell in love with her work, so I was super delighted to find she has this book of poems, and it is beautiful!
They are inspiring, uplifting, and insightful. Deborah’s poems invite me to think more deeply, and honor my feelings as a full human. As a writer myself, her words give me solace and encouragement to continue to share my soulful insights with the world. I am deeply grateful for this beautiful book."
"Yesterday was a landmark day! I read poetry in my yoga classes from Deborah Anne Quibell, PhD’s newly published (squee!!!) book of poetry. Soul Bird: Poems For Flying.
I’ve been reading Deborah Quibell’s poetry in my yoga classes for years (some of you have taken photos of my hand written poetry journal). Why? Because her words cut through our armor, because a place within our souls previously hidden is revealed, because, for a few suspended dream-like moments, protected truths peek out, wide eyed and hopeful, only to, more boldly, dance their way out, draw us close and wrap us in an embrace like no other.
I am so proud of this author, my friend, but more importantly a teacher to us all. Her poetry guides the way and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be walking along the path she’s blazing. Get your copy on Amazon! It’s chock FULL of inspiration & truth. (And check out her other newly published book, Deep Creativity. I’m already diving in!)"
