Listen "Finding Flow | An Introduction to Season 15 "

Episode Synopsis

Have you experienced those moments when the grind gives way to an
effortless grace? When a poem or painting tells you what it wants to
become, or when a melody sings itself into being?   

This state of creative flow is one that artists and athletes, saints and
mystics alike, each aspire to attain. It is a state where time bends low
and reveals a slice of eternity. When our minds are absorbed, the world
around us dissolves. Five minutes becomes five hours. Attentiveness and
reverie are caught in a kiss that transcends technical ability and becomes
magic.

In flow, we become the act we give our hands to accomplish. The painter
becomes the painting. The dancer becomes the dance. 

We enter into something greater than ourselves, a move of the Spirit that
is ever in flux and available to us all. 

This season on Makers and Mystics, we’re going to explore how to find flow
,

Not just as a creative high—

But as a practice.

A rhythm.

A spiritual discipline 

And a way of life.

We’re going to talk about what keeps us from entering it, and why it
matters—not just for our art, but for our own development and well-being.

You’ll hear from painters, poets, musicians, and makers of all kinds - each
sharing stories of what enables them to find flow and the challenges that
have kept them from it. 

You’ll hear from theologians and thinkers who see creativity as a sacred
conversation.

We’re going to talk about the discipline behind flow, the resistance that
rises against it, and the mysterious grace that shows up when we least
expect it.

So if you’ve struggled to find flow —

Or if you’ve ever wondered how to maintain your creative inspiration  —

Or if you’re simply longing to move through the world more awake and more
alive…

This season is for you.
