We like to think creativity comes from within. But trace any piece of work back far enough, and you find a crowd. A passing remark, a constraint you never wanted, a street on a gray afternoon, the weather itself. This episode looks at where the work actually begins, and why loosening your grip on originality might be exactly what lets it grow.
Your host, Sōkei, is a Zen teacher and artist and the creator of Creative Life in Contact, a body of work that helps creatives draw on direct experience as the source of a vibrant and genuine creative life.
