Listen "S15E01: Tuning The Room with Stephen Roach "
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to Season 15 of Makers & Mystics. In this opening episode, host
Stephen Roach invites listeners into the unfolding journey of Finding Flow
—not just as a creative high, but as a sacred rhythm and intentional
spiritual practice.
Anchored in a story from his experience as a touring musician, Stephen
shares how he developed a pre-show ritual: using a sustained drone and
improvised melody to “tune the room”—to draw the audience (and himself)
into a space of collective attentiveness. It became more than a musical
practice; it became a way of entering flow, of opening space for something
beyond performance to emerge.
In this episode, Stephen explores:
* What it means to prepare a space for creativity
* How flow requires attentiveness and surrender
* The parallels between creative flow and spiritual presence
* Why the environment we create—internally and externally—matters to
our art
Whether you’re a musician, painter, poet, or simply someone longing to move
through the world with greater presence, this episode will help you begin
to tune your own room—and step into your creative flow.
