Mia is a professional violinist. She's played in symphonies. She's played in improv groups. She's played as a form of personal exploration. But now she's taking on a big, conceptual project that may have nothing to do with music. Instead, she wants to create a piece rooted in connection. The only problem? She doesn't know what she wants to create. On this episode of How To!: Carvell Wallace brings in storyteller extraordinaire Michaela Leslie-Rule. Michaela talks Mia through the process of bringing a potentially overwhelming idea to life. Check out Michaela's work with Spiritual Technologies Project, the group we mention in the episode.
