Embracing Mystery
Podcast Description
Finding ourselves in compassionate, creative interconnection. Monthly conversations discovering the intersections of creativity and spirituality.
Join Kevin Caldwell, Nazia Islam, Raymond Singh, and Steven Spicer as they explore together ways that we can embrace creative and spiritual mystery in our lives and simultaneously find ourselves embraced in the mystery of compassionate, creative, interconnection, held by what may be called the Divine, or Source, or Consciousness, or even Mystery itself. In the process, we seek to become more fully ourselves, find our home and places of belonging, and grow as creative, spiritual, and relational beings.

For artists, does it matter who you are and how you are growing as a person if an audience might not understand the experiences and emotions you are trying to communicate?
In this episode Kevin explains relevance theory of communication, which looks at the interpretive worlds of symbols and meanings of a communicator (artist) and an audience as an integral part of what meaning is communicated. We discuss what this means for artists, knowing that there are both unanticipated experiences your audience might have, and that you can’t ultimately control what someone gets from your work.
