Sunday's Creative Reset at TSC left me with more than just memories of people creating, laughing and enjoying the process. It left me with a question about something we seem to lose as we grow up: our natural curiosity.
Every Creative Reset begins with me wondering how an activity might feel. I research, experiment, imagine it from my own perspective, and then try to turn that feeling into an experience someone else can have. And every time people start creating, I get to see something I had imagined become real someone feeling lighter, someone getting completely absorbed, someone rediscovering the joy of simply making something.
That's why I always say, it's not about art. It's about having an experience with art. Art is just the tool.
And then, this Sunday, a little boy reminded me why this matters.
He picked up a pen and paper from our creative corner and started drawing a spider web in blue, red and black. Then an Iron Man mask. He didn't have enough resources, so he used whatever was around him ,even the cafe cutlery.
No instructions. No fear of getting it wrong. No concern about whether he was “good at art.”
Just curiosity.
As children, we create because we want to explore. Somewhere along the way, life becomes heavier. We become more logical, analytical and focused on outcomes, and slowly forget the joy of simply wondering, “What if?”
Maybe Creative Reset is my small attempt to make space for that curiosity again.
And perhaps that's also what I love most about these sessions: every person I meet becomes another book I get to read.
You can read thousands of books and gather a lifetime of knowledge. But sometimes, truly connecting with one person feels like reading a thousand books at once because every person carries stories, experiences and perspectives that no single page can hold.
So maybe growing up doesn't mean leaving our childlike curiosity behind.
Maybe we just need to create enough spaces to find it again.
