Embracing creativity and storytelling can help us navigate through uncertain times and find hope and connection. Through writing and sharing our thoughts and experiences, we can unlock new perspectives, gain a better understanding of ourselves and the world, and contribute to a more positive future.
This is the second of a two-part conversation with writer, poet, and storyteller, Richard Wain, who’s recently released a book of poetry, Beyond the Brink is the Beginning.
Richard's writing explores the concept of "thrutopia": a vision for a better future. He’s part of a community of writers and thinkers who are committed to weaving new stories into culture and envisioning a world that future generations can be proud of.
Richard and Ben’s conversation offers a reminder of the power of art and the importance of paying attention to the beauty in the world, recognising our interconnectedness, and looking beyond ourselves to make a meaningful impact.
