The Wilderness of Creativity - The Intersection of Creativity and Spirituality, with Jody Woodbridge
play

07/24/24 • 40 min

Welcome to the Summer Series of The Wilderness of Creativity.

Jody is a Reiki Teacher & Women’s Circle facilitator. She’s also a Writer, Author and Mum to two teenage boys. After 17 years of working for the same company in a heavily male-dominated industry, Jody faced a shocking redundancy. Realising she’d spent years conforming, people pleasing and dimming her light, she knew this was the universal break she needed. It was time to re-claim her identity, self-worth, purpose and joy. She now gently guides & empowers women to do the same through teaching Reiki, holding Women’s Circles and her signature Self-Care Mastery course.

Key discussion points:

• The importance of taking a break to rediscover your own joy, creativity, and passions, as a means of recharging and refocusing your energy.

• How to create space for balance and prioritise self-care to prevent burnout.

• Ways of embracing creativity as a powerful tool for personal growth, which will allow you to learn, experiment, and evolve as a person.

• Recognising the challenges that creative children face in the current education system, which may stifle their natural talents and inclinations.

The Wilderness of Creativity - The Intersection of Creativity and Technology, with Natalie Smithson
play

07/15/24 • 53 min

Welcome to the Summer Series of The Wilderness of Creativity - a platform for creatives to share their stories of survival. Earlier this month, I had the honour of talking to Natalie Smithson; a copywriter, creative and tech enthusiast, who is developing an immersive exhibition experience for anyone who needs to know: better days will come.

As we delve into Natalie's remarkable expedition (hee hee!) through the wilderness, we gain a profound understanding of her artistic intentions and approach; she is currently documenting her creative process in a series of blogs and 'writing like nobody is reading', and like she has never been pulled apart.

Natalie believes that creativity will continue to play a crucial role in harnessing our 'human-ness' within a digital age, and she discusses how she intends to embrace art and AI to inspire a more empathetic and compassionate world for her children and future generations to come.

Key discussion points:

  • The importance of finding your way and creating a path that aligns with your values and passions.
  • The power of immersive exhibition experiences in sparking creativity, connection, and community.
  • The need to create a space to explore ideas, take risks, and challenge yourself.
