Embracing the Fertile Void

In series 3 of the podcast we are looking at the theme of amplifying. In this episode, Tricia discusses the ‘fertile void’. But what is it, and why is it so important? Often we get so caught up in the endless cycle of creating, that we forget that taking rest is crucial to creativity. Inspired by Gestalt theory, Tricia talks through the different stages of the process, and why the in-between moments are a must for living a creative life. How do we resist the pull of everything that demands our attention every day? And is it really that easy to do nothing?Mentioned in this episode:Learn more about Gestalt theoryA Squash and a squeeze by Julia DonaldsonHow to do nothing by Jenny OdellDonothingfor2minutes.com websiteJoin the London Writers’ SalonFull transcript available here Hosted on Acast.
