Synchronicity
Coincidence of events that seem to be meaningfully related.

In one of my favorite books The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron she talks about synchronicity. It was after taking the 12 week process outlined in the book that I understood exactly what synchronicity meant. It has been a dozen years since I did The Artist's Way for the first time and I have completed it probably a dozen times since then and I still experience synchronicity everyday. Possibly this is because I have a highly developed eye for such gifts.


I spent this past weekend in a state of perpetual synchronicity.I decided a few months ago that I wanted to facilitate another Artist's Way Group but that I wanted to do it in a different way. Within a few weeks of my decision an email popped into my inbox from a lovely woman with the Skagit Valley Camera Club. She heard I facilitated workshops and asked if I would do one for them. (Sychronicity).

The original idea for their workshop took some twists and turns and I ended up on a panel with 3 very talented artists and was able to sit in on all of the lectures throughout the weekend. (Synchronicity). I had such a good time I decided I would like to facilitate some more workshops. At lunch on the second day one of the artist's recommended me to a center that conducts all kinds of art workshops (synchronicity). I was thinking I would like to take a class on how to operate my camera. I decided to ask the camera club if they could recommend such a class. Before I had a chance to ask I received included in the thank you email from the camera club a one hour lesson on how to operate my camera (sychronicity).

I am ever so grateful I said yes when the original bit of synchronicity came my way. The whole design of the weekend and the outcomes were beyond my best imaginings. Synchronicity.
