RELENTLESS NEED FOR FLOW

Without repeatable, reliable access to flow, creativity stagnates, productivity falters, and burnout takes over. Creatives in flow make more breakthroughs, have higher incomes, and report far greater life satisfaction. Creatives locked out of flow report stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health and wellness concerns.  

Creativity can be a lonely road. It’s often a solitary pursuit. Creatives live in their heads, so sometimes these periods of isolation take place in very crowded rooms. Meaningful feedback is hard to find. Meaningful collaboration is often a rumor.  


The pressure to deliver groundbreaking work in a chaotic, high-stakes world can drain even the best. And creativity is always an emotional roller-coaster. And stress and anxiety block creativity. And there are too many interruptions. And my work-life balance moved to Mars. 

Creative careers are slippery. One-hit wonders abound. There are far fewer enduring superstars. A creative career requires that ultimate expression of originality: the consistent reinvention of self.

We all have that one… The business you’re dying to start or the novel you’re desperate to finish. Perhaps it’s a new chapter in an old life, maybe a second act. Maybe a total reinvention. What is the cost of never finishing that masterpiece? To yourself? To your loved ones. To your career. How much longer are you willing to pay that cost?

Without repeatable, reliable access to flow, creativity stagnates, productivity falters, and burnout takes over. Creatives in flow make more breakthroughs, have higher incomes, and report far greater life satisfaction. Creatives locked out of flow report stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns.  

Three live immersive experiences to ignite creativity and forge connection.
