ABOUT THE BOOK

Cultivate Creativity

In the Garden of Enlightenment

Parables have been used to carry great messages for millennia. They invite the reader to explore new concepts through a simple vehicle—the story. In this book, Cultivate Creativity in The Garden of Enlightenment, author and world-renowned artist Linda Richichi invites you on a journey … She has wrapped a profound and life-changing concept in a simple story about a seed. From the first words of the book, through each twist and turn of the imagery, you are invited to dive deep below the surface, beyond the obvious and let your soul speak to you in a language that goes far, far beyond the limits of words. Inviting us into our non-judgmental “child’s” mind, this innocent yet profound story encourages you to release self-judgment—to take the ride—and let your spirit simply do the thing children do when their creativity is allowed to express itself—to play.

But filled with prompts that address some of the deepest fundamental questions of our lives, such as “Who am I?,” “Why am I here?,” and “What would be possible if I wasn’t afraid to _____?,” this is far from a children’s book. No, Cultivate Creativity in The Garden of Enlightenment is a deeply philosophical look at how we spend our lives, where we put that investment, and how we trade our one true commodity (our time) for things that are, at best, fleeting and fear-based or ego-driven, rather than taking the ultimate risk, to truly live and align with our deepest purpose.
