Listen "Creative Quandary Clinic, Part 1"
Episode Synopsis
At the end of 2023, I asked seven people I knew to join me in a WhatsApp group experiment. here.
We set up a schedule by which one of us, each Thursday, would record a (suggested) 5 minute question on a creative or existential quandary we were facing.
The other seven members had committed to responding with a (suggested) 10 minute response, meaning that one person would ask a question, and receive over an hour of perspectives.
Over two months this WhatsApp group supported each other through the trials and tribulations of the holiday period, finishing a documentary film, the meaning of intuition, seasonality, the struggle to re-engage with work, and more.
This episode of Clerestory contains asynchronous voicenote reflections from seven of the eight participants on how the experience went.
Stay tuned for an article describing how to set up such a group for yourself, and another synchronous conversation from the participants.
