This podcast explores how art, storytelling and nature can help both adults and children "rewild" their nascent creativity.

In a world where we are "always on", are we necessarily creating the space we need to just be and allow our thoughts to wonder?

The neural networks in our mind are a "secret garden" of creative opportunity as they create the potential for random connections to spark across our memories, experiences, knowledge and beliefs.

This is where the opportunity for ideas come from yet, if we don't give ourselves time to get lost in and express the wilderness of our mind, are we losing touch with our creative potential and confidence?

Human creativity is literally in our nature! It has been found that neuronal arbours and plants grow according to the operation of the same mathematical laws*. In addition, our brains also need to "weed, prune and fertilise" in order to flourish!

Pia discusses how getting back to nature can help us rewild our imagination so that we might be able to restore our natural creative capability and create conditions for it to grow and ultimately take care of itself.
