Creativity as a Spiritual Practice

 

This month Film Producer and Director Kay D Ray will share some of her film work history and how spirit inspires her to choose her projects. Bring an idea for a documentary film and Kay will help us to make an outline or storyboard to shape our ideas.

 

Come join us to celebrate Creativity as a Spiritual Practice every third Thursday at 7pm on Zoom. Explore creative processes based in spiritual principles, get inspired to receive what Creative Spirit is wanting you to know, consider how it takes form through you, and share your art and your process with your peers. All are welcome! Whether you consider yourself an artist or not, being in touch with your creativity enhances the art of living on every level.  

 

Zoom access info will be provided upon registration.

Kay D Ray has spent decades creating films which honor the work of musicians, artists, education and history, ranging from feature documentary films to short form films.  Her films, Lady Be Good; Instrumental Women in Jazz and In Her Hands; Key changes in Jazz, brought the stories of women in jazz to a wider audience, telling stories that have been hidden or ignored in the dominant press. The films Anne Gould Hauberg; Visionary, a Northwest arts patron and Ernestine Anderson; There Will Never Be Another You, Northwest Jazz great and the interactive for Washington State Historical Society’s exhibit Women’s Votes, Women’s Voices tells the stories of Northwest women whom few have recognized. She has been fortunate to be involved in bringing historic stories to light, uncovering pieces of historic significance from music history with Jumpin’ With The Big Bands and 85 films for EMP, to regional history with the dozens of films for the Museum of History and Industry. As an artist, she loves to use her talents as a storyteller and filmmaker to create films and interactives which honor history, unknown voices and shine a light on realities and the inequalities that persist with women’s work.
