    Episode #25: Us versus them, and the middle way

    Sometimes it feels like the divides between groups of thought are getting wider, conversations devolving into people shouting opposing views at each other and getting nowhere. In such a situation, how can we move towards healing the deep emotional/psychological/social/environmental/systematic/political wounds and traumas which we all face? On this episode of the Contemplative Creative podcast, host David Quiring discusses this prevalent problem, and how we might be a part of the solution. We can never escape the bias within ourselves, but we can acknowledge it and adjust our conduct accordingly knowing that it’s there.

    Episode #19: The ebb and flow of creativity

    Waves of creativity come and go, but if we look closely there is a pattern to the cycle. On this episode of the Contemplative Creative podcast, host David Quiring poses his working theory on the source of creativity.  The question in question: where do original ideas come from and how can we work with that understanding to avoid getting stuck in the creative process?  Listen to episode #19 and you just might find out! David’s homework assignment (okay, it’s just a book club read for extra credit) is to read Daily Rituals: How Artists Work by Mason Currey.  We’ve arranged a partnership with Audible so that you can get the audiobook for free when you join.  Simply create an Audible account at this link and check it out for yourself: www.audibletrial.com/ContemplativeCreative If you found that this discussion resonated with you and would like to continue to hear more of them, please consider supporting Contemplative Creative through one of the ways we’ve made available on our support page.  Vote with your dollar to keep Contemplative Creative sustainable and growing!  Thanks for your continued support.

    Episode #18: Overcoming our biology

    On this episode of the Contemplative Creative podcast, host David Quiring discusses the classic psychology question with regards to our individual traits, “Nature or nurture?”  With recent advancements in the fields of genetics and neuroscience, we are finally able to look at specific innate qualities and begin to formulate clear answers as to where they arose from, removing the guesswork of associated with previous soft science methods.  But the new question that follows is, “If we are biologically predisposed to have certain negative tendencies, are we still responsible for our actions and thoughts?” David’s homework assignment (okay, it’s just a book club read for extra credit) is to read Hardwiring Happiness by Dr. Rick Hanson.  We’ve arranged a partnership with Audible so that you can get the audiobook for free – Dr. Rick Hanson even narrates the book himself!  Simply create an Audible account at this link and check it out for yourself: www.audibletrial.com/ContemplativeCreative If you found that this discussion resonated with you and would like to continue to hear more of them, please consider supporting Contemplative Creative through one of the ways we’ve made available on our support page.  Vote with your dollar to keep Contemplative Creative sustainable and growing!  Thanks for your continued support.
