Syncreate Podcast Episode 47 [AUDIO]: Creativity & Meaning Making with Melinda Rothouse, PhD

In this installment of our Creative Spark mini-episodes, Melinda shares the connection between creativity and meaning making. We can actually use our creativity to process difficult experiences and life challenges in service of healing, integration and wholeness. This may involve paying attention to our dreams, and to messages from our unconscious, and then conveying them through writing, art making, music, dance, or other media. This episode, like the mini-episodes that preceded it, includes insights and prompts from our book, Syncreate: A Guide to Navigating the Creative Process for Individuals, Teams, and Communities.
For our Creativity Pro-Tip, we encourage you to start keeping a journal or picking up some other kind of creative practice, whatever is resonant and accessible for you, and return to it on a regular basis.
