Our theme for August is NOMAD. It was chosen by our Ulaanbaatar chapter in Mongolia and illustrated by Oyuna Bold.

Some people feel compelled to travel from place to place. To live outside the confines and constraints of a permanent address. Others have no choice but to leave home in search of a better life. A nomad embraces discomfort, welcomes the unknown, and sees every detour as a new adventure.  

Have you heard the call of the open road? Ever dream of being a digital nomad working from exotic locales? Crossing borders and time zones to discover fresh inspiration and share-worthy views. But following your nomadic spirit doesn’t require collecting stamps in your passport. 

The act of creating is its own journey. So, meander through your ideas. Roam between different styles. The most important thing is to take the first step. It doesn’t matter where it leads, because the joy is suddenly finding yourself somewhere unexpected.

Whether you’re racking up frequent flyer miles or navigating a change in your creative career, remember that motion fuels imagination. Wander. Wonder. Repeat.

Stay tuned for this month’s speaker announcement!

Raised between Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island) and Adelaide, Sachem draws from his Noonuccal roots and Black American heritage to create award-winning music that’s both grounded and global.

His sound blends spoken word, hip-hop and gospel, weaving in themes of faith, legacy and resilience.

Sachem creates more than music, he creates connection and his performances are a space for truth, healing and joy. He hopes audiences leave feeling as uplifted as he does on stage!

With a story shaped by unwavering belief, Sachem mentors by example - inviting others to find strength in their own journeys. We’re thrilled to welcome him to CreativeMornings BNE for Mentor!
