Episode 50: Creativity as a Spiritual Practice with Chip Bristol
Establishing and nurturing creativity as a spiritual practice can be a balm to a burned out soul. On this episode you will get to eavesdrop on a conversation between friends about cultivating creativity, where creativity intersects spirituality, and how to do that while still paying the bills. Chip has been a chaplain and school headmaster. He is an author, a creative, and refers to himself as Susan’s “unofficial chaplain,” which is exactly right. We can’t wait for you to meet Chip Bristol.
Here is what you can expect to hear on the episode:
- Susan will introduce you to her “unofficial chaplain”
- Creative blocks and the tapes running in our heads
- The argument for why everyone is creative and everyone is spiritual
