The Art of Creative Practice

On this solo episode of Wellspringwords: The Podcast, Nkem dives into an open discussion about “creative practice” from both the pragmatic and spiritual perspectives. The four elements she journeys through in this episode are:

1. Grounding yourself in your craft
2. Cultivating creative practice as defining success for oneself
3. Embodying our creative essence by way of creative practice
4. Creative practice as a way to cultivate humility toward Source

This episode is an opportunity for learning, immersion, reflection, and creative inspiration. We hope you’ll enjoy it and share it with another creator who would benefit!
