​The Creative Process
​
In this episode, we explore the creative process. Is it limited to the material work we produce, or is the true creative path the inner work we do as part of the individuation journey? What kinds of conversations should we be having? How does dream work factor into the process? And does an artist need to reveal something meaningful to the collective for their work to be considered art?
Books mentioned in this episode:
The Creative Act: A Way of Being (Rick Rubin)
The Archetypal Artist: Reimagining Creativity and the Call to Create (Mary Antonia Wood)
Carl Jung and Arnold Toynbee: The Social Meaning of Inner Work (J. Gary Sparks)
