Inspiration is a thorn that catches the sleeve of our attention.
It’s a warm glow on the path beneath our feet, inviting us to decide whether or not it’s a light worth following. Sometimes, it requires a moment so our intuition can catch up and be our guide.
Pareidolia is the tendency to impose a meaningful interpretation on a stimulus, such as seeing a face in an inanimate object.
This can be a treasure trove of inspiration for creativity and play.
Are there particular climates, architectural styles, and geographical features that inject your sense of being with creative energy?
Bittersweet melancholy is a special type of inspiration. It invites us to explore and participate in a quest for something that can never be fully articulated, embodied, or expressed.
Inspiration stretches beneath and beyond the thoughts of our minds. It is something we feel deep within.
“Weightless” by Marconi Union is an ambient track crafted in collaboration with sound therapists. It incorporates soothing harmonies, gentle rhythms, and a seamless flow intended to mimic the body’s natural rhythms. Its tranquil tones and lack of repetitive melody aim to help slow listeners’ heart rates and reduce anxiety.
What is your body longing for today?
Inspiration is everywhere. Whole worlds are waiting to be explored and discovered.
Are you more experimental or conceptual?
Late Bloomers might approach life at a slower speed, but there is much more to it than that.
Where do you find your clean creative air? How satisfied are you with the inspiration each of these areas brings to your life right now?
Coming To Our Senses infuses the Haven’s unique spirit, giving us a platform to explore the intersection between high sensitivity, creativity, and the world around us. The zine builds on themes we’ve been exploring over the past ten years.
