Empowered Creatives Podcast Ep35: The Zen Art of Creative Living
What is the zen art of creative living? Learn more about the story and philosophy of Creative Enso on the newest episode of the Empowered Creatives Podcast.
I recently had the pleasure of joining the creative career coach, Victoria Hines, on the 35th episode of the Empowered Creatives Podcast to talk about the philosophy and story behind Creative Enso. Learn how Creative Enso was born out of a creative crisis and the discovery of unique connections between the science of creativity and the philosophy behind zen practices like meditation.
With Victoria Hines
Listen in as fellow artists, creatives, scientists, and creative business owners dive into the process, science, and mystery behind the ultimate question:
How do I make a living and live a creative life?
After all, you can’t put your life on the back burner in the hopes of making it in your creative career. You also can’t squelch your creative dreams for the sake of making a living.
Each week creative career coach Victoria Hines hits the mic (often with a fabulous guest) to talk about how to find your confidence as a creative.
How to Make Everything Creative With Lessons From Zen
You’ve probably heard the saying that everyone is creative. But have you ever heard that everything can be creative? According to Zach Smith, even vacuuming can tap you into creative flow. Zach worked in the Chinese film industry for over 9 years as a screenwriter, a kung fu stuntman, and vice president of a film and co-production company until it all came crashing down. After feeling a huge loss of creativity after this event, Zach made his way back to his art by studying the science of creativity and zen principles.
