This is my guest Louis Flint Ceci’s 2nd interview as he is promoting his newest book the Cross Quarter Mysteries. This book as the title indicates contains multiple mysteries and our wide ranging discussion moves from the writing of the novel itself to concepts within the book. We talk about how time and place become characters themselves. We discuss how faith and belief are as unique as each individual. We consider what it is like to stay in the mystery rather than  rushing to find a simple answer. Lewis has combined research and personal history  into a sweeping tapestry that is The Cross Quarter Mysteries I hope you will also find this discussion with the author Louis as fascinating as I do.

I’m excited to introduce Sean Martin from The Quarantined — a musician, combat veteran, and executive producer! Sean is sharing his story with us as he promotes his album, Aversion to Normalcy. He’s filled with inspiring stories about songwriting and how he’s used his own experiences to overcome challenges, learn about himself, and find healing through various forms of expression and creative activities. Sean has so much enthusiasm as he talks about how the album came together. Even when he pushed himself beyond his limits, he describes the valuable lessons and benefits of focusing on one thing at a time as he learned to be the artist, engineer, and producer of his own work. After the interview Sean shares a poem: The panama papers should lock up them bankers, followed by his song: Skeleton Chair.

I’m thrilled to have POET TIM XONNELLY join us! Tim’s just released a wonderful book of poetry called THE INVASION OF PANTOMIME. I’d say Tim is deeply connected to poetry. The conversation really took off when Tim talked about his connection to dreams and dreaming. Reading his book, it’s clear how much he values his dreams and how open he is to learning from them. I was also impressed by Tim’s genuine acceptance of what poetry does for him. He compares poetry readings to comedy shows, saying that in poetry, it’s perfectly okay to tackle heavy topics without trying to lighten the mood. That really shows how much respect Tim has for poetry. You’ll hear some of Tim’s pieces during our discussion, and I hope you’ll feel inspired to try your hand at writing your own poetry. I often feel inspired to be creative when I hear artistic expressions. 

You can contact Tim at: mailto:xonnelly2012@gmail.com

I’m really happy that my guest, Ezra Vancil discovered the podcast and got in touch. Ezra’s latest double album, along with a companion book, is called Morning and Midnight. Ezra’s story is a tough one, and he’s incredibly honest and open about dealing with substance abuse. He talks about how his connection to his creativity and sharing his struggles and successes has been a real help for him, in his own words, “Staying awake to life.” Plus, I think you’re going to really enjoy his music! Ezra shares his poetry, and at the end of the interview, he plays a song called “It’s Only a Mountain” that he hasn’t released anywhere yet! So here’s an exclusive song for the Creative Engagement podcast!

From the very first moment, Christine Blosdale captured my attention! As I’ve been hosting this podcast for five years, I’ve received many requests from potential guests to be interviewed. I share this because I’m proud that I’ve created a program that people find valuable. I’ve also been fortunate and grateful that I haven’t found myself at odds with more than a couple potential guests. When I saw that Christine’s podcast is called the Expert Authority Coach, my instincts told me to pause and think, “Wait a minute!” The words “Expert” and “Authority” might just be red flags. So, I asked Christine a few more questions, and I’m so glad I did. I was thrilled to discover that beneath these seemingly questionable terms lies a warm invitation to explore confidence and authenticity, all while ensuring that each of us is recognized and valued for our unique contributions. I challenged myself to bring Christine on the program to step outside my comfort zone, and I’m glad I did. 

Christine’s book is titled: The Social Media and Branding Survival Guide: Digital Marketing So Irresistible, Even Your Ex Will Want To Follow You https://amzn.to/4cgYMMy

Walking my guest, Zacha Belok, through this Encouragement Session, I felt a wave of hope wash over me. Zacha is a leadership coach, facilitator, and somatic practitioner whom I met at a Billy retreat. He was leading a multi-day workshop, and I could tell he had a deep understanding and a wealth of experience. What truly fills me with hope is Zacha’s honesty. It’s so rare in our modern world when leaders and teachers feel the pressure to be experts and have all the answers. Zacha brings a profound awareness that he’s guiding participants into new and innovative experiences, leading from a place of honesty and a willingness to learn. So, in encouraging Zacha, I feel uplifted by his honesty, wisdom, and reminded that my own process is to discover encouragement with each conversation.

I found myself at a retreat in Devon, in the UK seated at a long table next to a wonderful singer songwriter William Jaquet, I knew I should invite him to be on this program right away. William is a very warm and friendly presence and on this rainy storm night we found a relatively quiet space to capture this conversation. I had heard William play in the evening the night before without knowing until later that he’s been a part of the band Luvcat on tour, and that he’s been writing and recording with his own band Big Society. Just hearing William’s beautiful voice with an acoustic guitar was quite a rich experience, I knew there must be a wonderful story lurking in there somewhere. I always end my interviews with words of encouragement from my guests and thankfully William allowed me to tease him a bit, because as you will hear I needed to hold his feet to the fire to get him to look beyond the grind of getting to a really well written song and to think of the miracles and benefits of investing in creativity. To me this speaks to his devotion to holding himself accountable and wanting to keep the bar as high as possible. 

To find out more about William’s bands and music go to:

My guest Gavin Goska is a wonderful explorer of genres and his interview is a bookend interview with Ed Douglas as they together make up Midnight Syndicate. I’m really captivated by the kindness and thoughtfulness of Gavin Goska. It is so fascinating to hear how Gavin approaches creating mysterious and frightening scores for imagined movies! As you might guess, Gavin’s talents extend beyond composing and playing multiple instruments. He’s also explored restoring Victorian homes and creating early classical compositions. It’s wonderful to have conversations like this with Gavin, learning how he approaches each project, what’s known, and what’s unknown. I have a feeling that whatever Gavin focuses on, it will be delightful, and we can all learn from his approach and his willingness to tackle each project. Gavin is another example of finding his own unique work-life balance through imagining possibilities and bringing them to life through his artistic expression.

I have known my guest Ruven Hannah for many years through the Billys organization in Northern California. I have seen Ruven’s performance art and recently witnessed Ruven focusing on pure storytelling. I did not know what  international experiences had played a part in Ruven’s creativity until he explained the circumstances of moving from Israel to England  and then the United States. Along his adventures Ruven displays an amazing gift of “going for it” experimenting and trying out different modes of expression that paved the way from Puppetry to Performance Art and ultimately storytelling.

My guest Diane Samuels has a history as a playwright, as an educator and as an author. Diane’s openness and honesty is notable as she tackles some very personal and taboo topics. Diane has a very clear sense of what therapy is and what creativity and artistry is for her and she has engaged deeply with both. I was fascinated to hear about Diane’s work with Family Constellations. Diane explains the background and her history and relationship with the Cinderella story and her own novel called Cinders.

My Guest Billy Maxwell Taylor is a Dance Theater Maker and Ambient Dance Artist. I met him in the Forest of Dean through my connection to Actor & Filmmaker Henry McGrath as I was getting to know the Eden’s Cave Theater & Film Company. Billy is both a calm and joyful presence in my experience. It was delightful to get to know Billy’s influences and I would say (spoiler alert) you may want to have pen & paper handy to capture all of the amazing references that have inspired Billy in this interview. Billy describes how many aspects of Japanese culture have come to influence his artistry. I so appreciate Billy’s honesty and his attention to burnout which is affecting so many young people as they try to keep pace with change and modern life.

I met my guest Jude Williams as a participant on a Discipline of Freedom workshop on the Scottish Island of Lismore many years ago. In my opinion Jude has a gloriously expressive beautiful singing voice. My main memory of that shared experience was hearing Jude sing the Sondheim song Being Alive over and over again exploring different prompts and approaches, sometimes in joy and sometimes in tears and sometimes in joyful tears! Jude has a very wonderful and dynamically beautiful voice. Recently I heard lots of positive feedback about Jude’s theatrical offering called Chunky Jewelry and I realized how much I wanted to add her voice to the Creative Engagement podcast. I’m so glad I followed that instinct because Jude has been investigating creativity and engagement deeply. I especially appreciated her ideas about how to know when her work feels satisfying.

I have to say I was so impressed when my guest Nemanja Kovač Barbarossa reached out to me about being interviewed to talk about his new book Visions from the Unconscious. Nemanja is the founder of the emerging artistic movement  Arawnonciousness (A-RAW). Nemanja describes his experience of discovering how to investigate his unconscious through line drawing and then later larger painted canvases. It was delightful to meet and explore this topic that has also captured my imagination and my songwriting as well.

It feels profound to meet someone like my guest Andy Squiff. Andy describes himself as a creative and I am so impressed how Andy’s stories put engagement and passion and curiosity front and center. Andy’s enthusiasm and energy were apparent when I met him on a recent trip to the UK and the Forest of Dean. Andy is also very honest about looking back and understanding his path to exploring and leading breath work and energy movement groups. It’s always exciting to meet a kindred spirit who appreciates the mystery and awe of exploring creativity.

My guest Eleanor Buchan is an artist and storyteller. I have known Ellie through the years and have participated in some amazing artist workshops side by side with her. Having said that there are many aspects of Ellie’s story that I was not aware of, and the last time I was in her presence prior to this interview was before her marriage and before the birth of her two children. Ellie’s magical voice was captured during a visit to her home in the Forest of Dean. It was a truly mystical visit so ripe with opportunities to explore what it means to be a creative person over the arch of a life and how engaged creativity can serve our beings. We also take a conscious look at those times when creativity cannot be accessed, and the road back to healing and self.

I’m so pleased to include my guest and friend, artist Iddo Oberski. I have known my guest Iddo Oberski for many years through the lens of his creative expression in our shared experiences at an artist retreat called the Discipline of Freedom. As it turns out many of Iddo’s artistic explorations have become a part of his creation called BALANCING IN FREEDOM. I have always been in awe of Iddo’s thoughtful approach to experimenting with art forms and exploring the underlying philosophy in a way that satisfies his curiosity.

My guest Mary Telfer is an Artist and  founder of The Creative Collective, a $9/month online membership where creative people get weekly art challenges, monthly creative Zoom calls, and a supportive space to make and post art. I found Mary to be a delightful and passionate example of someone who has truly and deeply engaged with her own creativity.  It shows in her enthusiasm for color. Mary walks us through some basic aspects of how to achieve the colors and how to express them. Mary is also a true champion of community as her Creative Collective is so open and inclusive whether you are a professional artist or a raw beginner. Mary just added a freebie for everyone, Income Ideas for Artists, and other free guides and videos. For more info go to:

I have known John Sparks on and off through several artist retreats and through his wife Christine. We have seen each other grow and learn and create over the years, and this latest expression of chakra healing seems like a potent example of John’s life work. I am so pleased to encourage John as he has also inspired and motivated me! I hope that you also see in John’s example that we each have a way forward. As John indicated we each can make a choice to be heart led and to remember our highest values.

My guest is Baker Mukasa Actor, Singer, Teacher and Lover of Life! I have had the privilege of getting to know Baker Mukasa in the context of an artist workshop. Baker is the youngest participant in our group and met our teacher Kath through the Youth Music Theatre or YMT organization in England. In our interview Baker describes a play where his character has a role of being the custodian of another character named Joy, but I think this is also applicable to Baker himself. I’ve witnessed his amazing singing in a full throated late night jam session and I think that custodian of Joy is a label he could easily carry.

My guest is Emily Sly an artist exploring improvisational Fooling and Clowning and Singing. I met Emily as we are both participants of a course called PathMakers, and I was not aware until I witnessed Emily sharing her clown with the group that she was in fact a clown, and I was overjoyed and delighted! Emily has some profound insights about how creativity within her family shaped her life. Emily shares a few of her poems with us as well.

My guest Sarah Campbell has a delightfully welcoming presence. I have had the opportunity through several workshops and retreats to visit, sit in with her church choir and see the home that she and her husband Yorik have created on the Island of Lismore. I have even visited the Red well that Sarah describes in this interview! The beauty of Lismore is truly awe inspiring. Sarah is offering several kinds of workshops related to creativity and nature using “mostly” the native plants on the island.

My guest is Rabbi Adina Allen author of The Place of All Possibility: Cultivating Creativity Through Ancient Jewish Wisdom. I feel very aligned with the ideas in this book. Rabbi Adina explores how ancient Jewish text, not only the Torah but related writings and teachings connect to creativity and curiosity. Each chapter invites us in to experiments to allow us to experience directly what is described. I would highly recommend this book! Here are some links to find out more:

My guest is Musician, Composer Anne Wood. I thank Niloo Kahn for introducing me to Anne. It is so fascinating to learn about Anne’s life story and the story of how her theatrical experience called When Mountains Meet came to life. I won’t give away any plot twists here. I especially loved hearing how each part of Anne’s life contributed to the artist that Anne is today. Anne graciously acknowledges her artistic team that helped bring her story to life in this way. I hope you enjoy this complex and real life story as well and at the end you will get to hear a song from the album When Mountains Meet, the song is called Gilgit Going.

I remember artistic retreats where I met my guest Tamsin Haggis and I was in awe of her creative exploration, her different styles and as I learned more I was fascinated with her background. Recently Tamsin has begun writing her own Substack which you can find here: Art Pilgrim which I find fascinating. I’ve seen Tamsin create sand paintings and abstract images that look similar to cellular images from a microscope as well as figures of dancers and images from her various travels that intrigue and inspire me.

My guest Writer Lisa Martens joins us all the way from Costa Rica! I want to thank Yolande Brener for introducing us. We discuss Lisa’s Novel: Like It Never Happened a humorous yet insightful exploration of generational trauma. Lisa has become an expert in family dynamics, drawing from some personal experiences while also crafting the fictional journey of Alice as she navigates a complex web of relationships. The novel delves into Alice's internal world as well as her external family, all striving to understand their place in the world. I was particularly drawn to Lisa's humorous approach to storytelling. She demonstrates how family can be a powerful trigger, and how creativity can help us untangle the complexities of life and gain self-discovery. 

Here is a link to her novel Like It Never Happened:

I had the privilege of being paired with my guest Christel Knappe on a songwriting retreat on the Greek Island of Crete last summer. Christel’s creativity is multifaceted. As we get to know how Christel’s creativity manifests in her life we remember together the process of writing our song called Let The River Decide. It am so interested to explore the parts that flowed with ease and the parts where we got stuck or frustrated. The image for this episode is Christel’s artwork for Eva Hillered’s song called Tiger Lily! At the end of the interview you can hear the song Christel and I wrote together called Let The River Decide.

My guest is Svend-Erik Engh a storyteller and story coach from Edinburgh, Scotland and Denmark. I was introduced by his wife Alice Fernbank who also appeared as a guest recently. This discussion helped me distinguish the difference between a writer of stories and a storyteller. Svend-Erik has a delightful way of engaging and being of service to those learning to tell stories that I found heartwarming and very helpful. He has published an audio book in Danish. Stories from my English book Danish Folktales, History Press 2023.

My guest Actor and Theater maker Nigel Hollidge lives in Brittany. I have encountered Nigel through several Discipline of Freedom artist workshops and in this interview we found ourselves both participating in a PathMaker workshop on the Scottish island Lismore offered by our teacher and friend Kath Burlinson. Watching Nigel work is truly amazing, and I have really cherished each opportunity to get to know him better.

My guest this episode is Storyteller Alice Fernbank. I was so delighted to reconnect with Alice in a new cohort of the PathMakers workshop offered by Kath Burlinson. Alice and I initially met at a Discipline of Freedom artist workshop in France many years ago. One magical element of Alice's storytelling is that she is known to create stories completely from scratch, seemingly out of nowhere and deliver them in her captivating style.

It is so wonderful to include my guest, my friend, Singer Songwriter Christine Sparks!

Christine shares her experiences in creativity with music, visual art and video. Christine's painting is featured in this episodes artwork. We discuss Christine's new album release Love Yourself Wildly, and you'll get to hear a track from the release called My Little Engine.

I am so blessed to be a part of a creative community where I can invite artists such as my guest Daniéle J Minns. Their creative output spans film projects, writing, dancing and martial arts as a starter list. I contacted Daniéle after seeing a short film Death and Beauty created in collaboration with Yolande Brener who I interviewed in the prior episode. Later I attended an amazing workshop entitled Question and Dancer. Daniéle's engagement and commitment to their authentic expression is beautiful to behold. Daniéle also shares an original poem and a song "Beautiful Idea".

My guest Yolande Brener currently in New York was introduced to me by a UK artist Daniele J. Minns. I saw their short collaborative film Death and Beauty and contacted Daniele who introduced me to Yolande. I so love meeting new artist friends through the lens of creativity. It is such a rich and delightful way to explore thoughts and ideas and feelings. Yolande has so many ways of expressing herself. She provided an insightful look at how to keep creativity central and bouyant in her life and she also inspires this same encouragement for her students. To find out more about Yolande:

My guest is Writer and Storyteller Dougie Strang. We discuss his new book The Bone Cave (A Journey Through Myth and Memory). Dougie has wonderfully captured an amazing camping adventure incorporating place names and ideas from Scottish folklore and at the same time shared his love and kindness seamlessly with ecology and his own personal history — magically as the folk tales themselves. I felt invited in traveling right alongside Dougie , and I’m so thrilled to invite you into our conversation! To find out more:

My guest for this Encouragement Session of the Creative Engagement podcast is Tom Purtill. It is easiest for me to encourage songwriters being a songwriter myself. Tom brings a real sense of openness to collaboration. We met in the context of a gathering where we were both performing original songs and I invited Tom to record in my home studio.  After the interview you are invited to listen to Tom's song that we recorded called, "I Found It Under There".

My guest host this episode is a longtime friend, Artist, Coach and Instructional Designer Melissa Padgett. Melissa suggested that she would be interested in interviewing me and after some initial resistance I viewed this as another example of innovation. Melissa explores a variety of art forms and is a deeply curious and creative artist and you can tell we share many values and perspectives.

My guest is artist, painter Scott Holloway returning for a 2nd interview. I so love Scott's painterly use of language. Discover Scott's art at: https://scottrholloway.com/home.html
Scott provided an image of his painting for this episode with the following notes:
"I found that painting of Ray the other day going through some 70’s art work. I realized that he was the first trans person I’d ever met. A beautiful Japanese boy with long hair. He wanted me to pretend that he didn’t have male genitalia, and didn’t want them acknowledged. I didn’t understand. I had never experienced it. This was when I lived in Mendocino. We spent some time together. Later I was told that he had overdosed on drugs. The painting was done by memory.  I mentioned him in a text to a mutual friend from that time. I don’t know what pronoun she would have used I wish she was still here to tell me. Ray is mentioned in “Beaujolais is in My Blood- growing up gay and well fed above a family run French Restaurant”

My guest is Mental Health Counselor Dan Cooper.
http://dactherapy.com/
email:  info@danielcoopercounselor.com

Dan referenced an earlier episode where I interviewed Barry Morrison.
As a reference to the places where my friendship began with Dan, The Grail Men's weekend and The Discipline of Freedom workshop:
The Discipline of Freedom is an artist workshop. The workshop is limited to 9 participants and includes artists from all disciplines who are open and willing to develop and improve themselves. The workshop is led by Paul Oertel and his wife Nancy Spanier. Paul and Nancy are world class teachers with long rich histories in the performing arts:  dance, choreography, theatre, acting, voice, film and piece-making.

The Discipline of Freedom is more than just an artist workshop. It is also a gathering of souls searching for deeper knowing. Usually this is offered in or adjacent to a destination of amazing beauty and historical significance. There is a profound opportunity for transformation and a high likelihood of facing yourself and your fears. The experience is an invitation into a radical exploration of your own creativity and depth.

My guest this episode is Lewis Barfoot contemporary folk artist based in Cork, Ireland. 
”Vocals to melt the hearts of angels“ - Folk Radio UK

Cork based contemporary folk artist & singer-songwriter Lewis Barfoot displays a fearless and disarming honesty in her lyrics. She works with an uncomplicated loveliness of sound, blending ethereal, evocative vocals with original compositions and reinventions of trad songs.  Frequently compared to the likes of Kate Rusby, Sandy Denny  and Maíre Brennan. Her debut album, Glenaphuca released on 5th March 2021 has received great support from RTÉ 1, FRUK, BBC Radio Ulster and RTÉ na Gaeltachta. Her new album “HOME” , set for release in October 2023, welcomes rivulets of jazz amidst her folk palette and will tour the UK, Ireland and Portugal. 

Recent press coverage for ‘Glenaphuca’

'A Terrific Debut'  -  FATEA MAGAZINE

'Balm For The Soul' - LILLIAN SMITH, RTÉ RADIO1

'Rather Splendid!' - MARK LIVERIDGE, BBC RADIO CAMBS

“What a beautiful, beautiful voice she has, just gorgeous!” - Eve Blair, BBC Radio Ulster

'Barfoot’s voice, deft guitar-work and her perceptive songs blend magically to create an album to curl up with, and be thankful for"  - JACKIE HAYDEN, HOT PRESS

‘Underlying the whole album are Lewis’s undeniably beautiful, crystal-clear vocals, vocals that could melt the hearts of angels.  Unequivocally enjoyable, Glenaphuca is an absolute treat. More please’ David Pratt - FRUK
