Creative Circle NYC

Please join us for a stimulating evening of socializing and connecting. Meet and get to know participants in our community. Share your thoughts and ideas about life, creative experience and other creative topics of your choice.

Please join us for a stimulating hour+ of online discussion.

Topic: “Imagination: Sources of Inspiration in the Arts and Sciences”
The greatest, most consequential ideas come from the creative imagination. But what kinds of forms are necessary to elevate the human spirit while speaking to the unique possibilities of our times and into the future?

For this discussion we will explore one of the least understood and most important sources of inspiration and achievement in the human experience, the creative imagination, particularly as it emerges in the arts and sciences.

(Zoom link provided the day before the event. If participants are using a device that has a name different from their Meetup name or ID please let us know. We give access only to those whose names we recognize.)

Topic: “Myth, Meaning and the Experience of Life”
In every period of history, living myths have formed the spiritual basis of every great culture and civilization. But is this realm of meaning and experience still relevant to our lives today, and, if so, what can it give us?

For this discussion we will delve into the nature of the "divine drama" in order to ascertain its true creative significance. We will also explore the implications of symbolic living for human beings of the past, present and future.

(This event starts with roughly a half hour of free social time followed by the group discussion.)
