Logo Design Brief
UPDATE: I am removing the images that I attached, because I think everyone is reproducing them rather than being creative with the design. I may have hurt rather than helped the process. : ) I would love to see new designs without butterflies and dandelions if someone imagines another way of expressing "meraki" which I describe below.
I am looking for a logo for a private mental health counseling practice called Meraki Counseling. The meaning behind "meraki" is important, because not only am I providing "therapy with meraki," I want to help my clients live their lives "with meraki." It is a Greek word used to describe doing something with soul, creativity, or love -- when you put "something of yourself" into what you're doing, whatever it may be.
QUESTION: HOW would you represent this idea of "meraki?"
COLORS: deep teal, blues, coral as accent. I like color, so I'm open but no red. See attached color palettes for some ideas.

Clarification & General Feedback:
1. Please have the logo reflect movement, energy, transformation. My logo examples may have been misleading - I don't want a tree. Although it represents growth, a tree is rigid. The growth I want represented is dynamic. My clients are "stuck," and I help them move forward (change, grow, expand) towards a meaningful life. I walk beside them on this journey.
2. Please avoid using the cookiecutter head or face.
3. Please don't bother submitting anything that looks like clip art, industrial, heavy corporate logos (like a bank logo) - I automatically eliminate them.
4. I tend to like simpler fonts. I'm fine with a "written/script" font if they make sense with the design.
5. Colors: shades of teal, navy, lime/yellow-green (I'll try to post some palettes).
Thanks for your patience while I try to correct my miscommunication or poor choice of words. I'm looking for creativity and outside-the-box ideas - I want my logo to look personal, not like clip art. I'll be giving individual feedback as soon as I have time. I really appreciate your efforts!
Added Tuesday, July 28, 2020
I think that I stifled the creativity by providing samples with my brief, so I removed them. I want artists to think outside the box after reading my brief - how do you express "passion for what you do" ("meraki") in a logo? It may be helpful to read about the meaning of my business name, "meraki." I am also trying to provide feedback to the designs that have connected with me or have potential, so it is taking me extra time. Thanks for your patience!

Requirements
Must have
- BE CREATIVE - please don't give me the copy/paste logos that I see everywhere
The logo needs to show movement, energy, transformation, change - my clients are moving from being "stuck" to making changes to live a meaningful life. I'm not sure what that looks like in imagery which is why I need your help. : )
Nice to have
- PREFERENCE: words integrated as part of the logo - a relationship between the words and the image
Should not have
- I do NOT want a "corporate" or industrial feel; no clip art or combination resembling clip art (think bank logos - that's what I don't want)
No trees (unless used very creatively).
No human heads/brain in the logo. These are common images for therapy logos.
No reds in the logo.
