LEARNING CONVERSATION — DAY 3

What Survives the Ruins: Making Something When the Old Story Breaks

Core Invite What do you do with your creative life when the story that organized it falls apart?

Summary

Most of us were handed a set of myths before we knew we'd received them. These were more than creativity myths. They were the same architecture as the theology many of us have been deconstructing.

In this session, I'll share what I discovered in that collapse and what became possible in the rubble. We'll spend time with the existentialists, in various spiritual and contemplative traditions, historic creators, and with the part of you that still wants to make something even when you're not sure what you believe anymore or whether you have permission.

This is an honest conversation about what actually survives when the old permissions expire and what it looks like to begin to create something anyway.
