Episode 12 - State of Flux
04/24/22 • 49 min
In the first episode of a new series of The Creative Adventurer’s Survival Guide we re-introduce ourselves and reflect on the creative journeys we’ve been on over the last year.
Many creatives find themselves going through a state of flux, periods when they can feel exceptionally laser-focused and other times when it’s necessary to go on a walkabout and to just let the imagination run free and untethered, but flux take us further off-course than expected.
This state of flux has been magnified by the upside-down nature of finding new ways of surviving a pandemic lifestyle, where social freedoms can chop and change. Just when you feel you’ve found your groove, it can soon be thrown off by further restrictions and road blocks. So how do we steer the stormy seas and navigate to calmer waters?
Well, in this episode we dig out the Sharpies and embark on a 'World Mapping' exercise, to ruminate over the new and exciting twists and turns that have blown us off-course, as we re-discover our natural rhythm of creativity.
Here are some further inspirational resources discussed in this episode:
- The Writer's Map: An Atlas of Imaginary Lands
- Mission: Joy - Finding Happiness in Troubled Times
- A lesson in Wise Selfishness
- Special Books by Special Kids

Feeling energised from our previous Adventurer's Charrette (Episode 5) we're limbering up for another creative gym session!
In this episode of the Survival Guide, we begin to develop a creative 'happy hour' - starting with an ancient fossilised relic, we let our minds wander beyond the barriers of time to which we're bound and explore mysteries that we'll never ever know.
And a good mystery can always let the imagination run wild! What ideas will those mysteries uncover for you?
Here are some inspirational resources discussed in this episode:
- Emily Levine - How to Make Friends with Reality
- Orlando
- The Hive - a great place for a brew and to brew ideas!
