In this week’s episode of Wildheart we chat about the word ‘imagine’ - what it means for us, what the word conjures up, and how we might connect with our imaginations as spring continues to unfurl.
We’d love to know after you’ve listened, do you allow yourself to imagine? How do you connect to your imagination? Let us know in the comments!
Why have we chosen to talk about the word ‘imagine’?
Imagination relates to the key qualities and themes of spring that we’ve been exploring this season - expansiveness, hope, potential and growth
To imagine may often mean to dream, or to picture / create an alternative reality in our minds, which very much connects to the untethered energy of the air element which corresponds to the season of spring
What do we talk about?
How imagination is wound up with belief, hope, faith and trust
Why imagination helps us lean into expansive possibility, rather than staying contained in ‘shoulds’
Why we believe that imagination = human potential and ‘magic’
The connections between imagination, realism and creativity
