Ellen Young relates her cancer experience, and its consequences, in a meaningful, down-to-earth way, bringing CreativeMornings an insider’s view on confronting challenging situations and topics.
In a world where we are taught to be certain and vulnerability is synonymous with weakness, how can we slow down and question, create, and enjoy purposeful choices, and identities? Together, we look inward and challenge our own processes, narratives, and identities. With a vulnerable, honest, and welcoming environment, we may all leave (and live) a little more open, a little more empathetic, and a little more curious.
