December’s CreativeMornings global theme is ABUNDANCE and Paul Loewen from Siloam Mission will be joining us on December 9, 2022 at 8:15am (Creative Manitoba 245 McDermot Ave). Paul will be speaking on: “An Abundance of Creativity can Change our World.”

Talk Description: How we understand abundance and the lack of it changes how we respond to poverty. While we typically think of poverty relative to our basic needs, it goes beyond that to understanding trauma and systems. In this talk, Paul will challenge us to think creatively about how we might come together to create an abundance of inspiring ideas and actions to help people locally and even on a global scale.
