We have made the creative process into a rootless whitepaper, a motherless child. We have made the creative process into a discursive scan for commas and form. We have forgotten the serpent’s wisdom, the ecstatic breath, and the spine’s electric currents. And it’s time to remember that the role of vision is not serve as an ego project or a standard of glass-ceilinged business, but, rather, a dowsing rod and a seer’s canvas for discerning what is needed in culture.
In this episode of the Inner Circle podcast, host Daje Aloh delves into a core framework of Storywork Studio, the "Map of Visionary Praxis," a framework that weaves together elements of cyclical seasons, archetypes, and vision processes to support the maturation of creative visions.
