Meeting Uncertainty Through Creative Expression

We are living in unprecedented times, and often in times of chaos things can feel uncertain without having “the known” to rely on as a touchstone for what comes next.

What is Creative Flow?

Do you have to be a professional artist or athlete to experience it? Join hosts Jenny Hahn and Stephanie Gray as they discuss why creative flow is so important not only for personal bliss and fulfillment, but also for the wellbeing of the collective.

"Will I Always Paint Like A First Grader?" Questions From the Studio

We hear this question, or a version of it, in almost every workshop we facilitate. As humans we have the need and desire to create... Also as humans, we want to “get it right” and be good at whatever we decide to do. But what would happen if you didn’t have to get it right or paint like a pro the first time you tried something new creatively? What if playing and getting curious like a first grader was enough?  In today’s episode, hosts Jenny Hahn and Stephanie Gray talk about how it feels to play  with curiosity without attachment to results, and why painting like a first grader is something that even professional artists often try to get back to.

Why Does It Feel Scary To Be Creative?

Being creative requires a willingness to step out of our comfort zones and into the unknown – where outcomes are not certain. We are asked to let go of the status quo in order to play in the realm of possibility, and that can feel vulnerable. In fact, sometimes it changes everything! In today’s episode, hosts Jenny Hahn and Stephanie Gray discuss the types of fear that creative expression can bring up, and share practices for moving through that fear in order to reclaim curiosity, a sense of discovery and true creative empowerment in your life.
