September's Theme is DEPTH

Depth is a measure of distance. Get a feel for it by traveling along a rock fissure that tunnels into the earth, stepping across the expanse between our galaxy and the next, or diving into the mysteries hidden within ourselves.

Depth is a space that denies easy ways of seeing or comprehending — when we shine a light into the deep blue of the ocean, we cannot see much further than the surface. In our age of instant answers, we bristle at this resistance. It’s often easier to reduce people, places, and ideas into flattened renderings, rather than grapple with the nuanced and contradictory truths found in their depths.

In what depths could you submerge yourself if you let curiosity guide you? Ask open-ended questions and listen for responses to arise. With patience, watch those questions transform and transmute as they travel further. Blink your eyes open in the abyss, lose your frame of reference, and discover something altogether new.

Our Columbus chapter chose this month’s exploration of Depth and Bryan Christopher Moss illustrated the theme.

CreativeMornings is a free, monthly breakfast lecture series for the creative community. It happens in 224 cities in 67 countries around the world. Charlottesville is the 180th chapter, and your local hosts are Kori Price, Emma Terry, and Maureen Brondyke. There will be a creative lecture (generally) on the 2nd Friday of each month centered around a global theme picked by CreativeMorning chapters around the world! Stay tuned for updates as we announce the theme and speaker on the first of the month. Registration opens at 10 am the Monday before the event!
