Everyone’s got one lurking inside, but not many folks discover the secret to unleashing a successful creative life. Still, an impressive lineup of people have mastered that art, and they’ll be profiled in the Creative Life Series, which begins today with an exploration of spiritual guru Joseph Campbell and continues monthly through March at the Chautauqua Community House. The series will take you around the world, through history and even into outer space.
Future subjects veer wildly from visionary musician Sun Ra and populist photographer Dorothea Lange to Tibetan spiritual leader Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, Invisible Man author Ralph Ellison and Native American statesmen Big Bow and Black Elk — but they all share a creative and giving spirit.
Creative Life coordinator Tom Hart says it took a while to shape the new series into a cohesive lineup with well-matched subjects and presenters, but he’s now excited to see how it’s received. “Everyone we’ll be talking about met obstacles they overcame in a creative way,” he explains. “That’s what inspired the series.”
The Creative Life Series lectures begin at 7 p.m. at Chautauqua, 900 Baseline Road in Boulder. Tickets are $10 per program ($7 members), but if you plan to be inspired by all six, buy a series ticket for $54 ($36 members) at chautauqua.com.
