Welcome to The Insightful Creative!
This is a space about being creative and living creatively.
And a space to share stories and ideas for our creative sides with one another.
Telling stories and sharing ideas around our creativity builds a sense of shared understanding, common ground, and empathy. All these stories and shared ideas - or insights - around creativity invite reflection, thought, and dialogue. When we see others sharing their personal stories and experiences about their creative process, it creates space for deeper conversations for ourselves and others. The word “creative” is meant to be broad and inclusive - creativity in all its forms – evoking the idea that creativity isn’t confined to traditional artistic fields but is a way of thinking and approaching life.
