Gratitude Blooming Podcast Beyond Learning: Embodying values and building connection through art
This week, we sit down with Adam Rosendahl, the founder and CEO of Late Nite Art, to explore the theme of Celebration through the metaphor of a bouquet of flowers. Adam reflects on his journey into facilitation and art, including a transformative experience of being blessed as a baby by a monk who noticed that he had "the hands of an artist".
Adam also discusses the power of art and music to help people feel seen and connected, and how Late Nite Art uses an arts-based methodology to support teams from all industries to improve their creative confidence and break routine ways of thinking. He emphasizes the importance of pro-activism and creating experiences that make people feel deeply connected, seen, and supported.
Throughout the episode, Adam shares his insights on how to tune our instruments to be in harmony with the world around us and how to move beyond the first step of learning to truly embody and live out our values. This episode is a reminder to celebrate the things that bring us joy and connection, and to use our creativity to build a better world.
Enjoy our closing reflection question to help you explore what you'd like to be celebrating in 10, 40 or even 100 years from now!
