The Dual Nature of Creativity

Sometimes the most simple act of presence can lead us from exhaustion, to recovery and back onto the path towards inspiration. Katherine May, author of The Electricity of Every Living Thing and Wintering joins us to talk about the inspiration behind her newest book Enchantment.

In this episode we discuss the fog, the magic, the journey, and how we can nudge ourselves and others forward by:

• Reconnecting to a child-like sense of awe and wonder
• Trusting what comes natural
• Leaving a post-it note
