Creativity Conversations explore the nature of our infinite creative potential. The definition of creativity goes far beyond just being artistic. Which means that regardless of where we find ourselves in business or in our personal lives, creativity involves finding new ways to solve problems, find solutions, come up with new ideas and be in "flow." This creative expression appears differently for an artist, a CEO, an entrepreneur, but it's essence is fundamentally the same. Creativity is a way of living with openness, curiosity, generosity and a sense of adventure. On these calls, we redefine and recognize the variety of forms of expression of the creative spirit through conversations with a diverse group of individuals.

Creativity Conversations with Michael Unrau, episode 51. Michael has spent the last 5 years investigating creativity from an ontological, complex systems, and transdisciplinary lens. Completing his PhD in creativity and social innovation, Michael has a particular focus on how creative mindfulness impacts complex social challenges like collective trauma and climate change. He teaches social innovation at Mount Royal University, was an adjunct professor at University of Calgary, and has held international fellowships and facilitated creative projects around the world, including a “mini” social-lab in India.
Michael’s main interest is in finding and accessing creativity in everyone through a complex systems lens to generate social innovations for societal transformation.
Michael has also been a lay-monk in a Buddhist Monastery in Thailand, co-founded a physical theatre company, is a published poet, song-writer, and photographer, and was a host for the TV show “Active Traveller.” He facilitates expressive arts, Living Inquiries mindfulness, EFT, and is a certified Transformational Arts facilitator.
