Could the way out of the global crisis be rooted in a change of perception? The rational mind has failed to provide coherent change; might it be time to shift the way we perceive, experience and interact with the world? In this conversation with poet and performer Brooke McNamara we explore what art can teach us about living in the present, why poetic perception is necessary in these times, and the importance of the unseen in fostering creative emergence. Brooke McNamara is a poet and performer who is appreciated for her capacity to transmit the sacred through accessible and digestible pieces of poetry, performance and teaching. Brooke’s work is an emanation of her core longing to feed the soul. She is the creator of Summoning the Unseen, a popular online course, and the author of two volumes of poetry entitled “Bury the Seed” and “Feed your vow”.
