Creative Mornings | Boosting Creativity Through Limitations w/Gabrielle Touchette

February’s Theme is Touch.

Our Lisbon chapter chose this month’s exploration of Touch, and Emma Lopes illustrated the theme.

Do you see yourself as a creative person? What does “being creative” even mean? Is the term “a creative” limited to a very small, elite group of skilled artists? Gabrielle explores the idea that all humans have a touch of creativity in them, even if we don’t feel or recognize it. With the help of a brown potato, a harrowing ordeal on a California freeway and brain function research, Gabrielle shares how limitations and inadequacies could be the key to creative flourishing.
