​Value and Values: How to Go Deep to Get Unstuck

​As creatives, our work is so often undervalued that it can feel like we’re always having to make the case for the value of what we produce. But before we can make the case that our work is worth something, we need to know that we are worth something. We need to know that we are valuable—even more than that, we are invaluable, of inestimable worth. Only then can we live and create with true courage. 

​In this second gathering, we're talking about value and values: first, our own value, apart from what we can produce; second, we'll look at how we can uncover and articulate our values, so that, individually and collectively, we can do work that matters. Over the course of the evening, we'll talk about three key ways we all get stuck in our lives and in our work—and, even more importantly, how we can get unstuck by discerning what matters most and aligning our vision, strategies, and habits to live our values. 

​Matthew Croasmun, New York Times bestselling author of Life Worth Living: A Guide to What Matters Most, will be facilitating an evening replete with poetry and time for reflection and conversation. We're going beyond the surface to experience how wrestling with life's big questions can help us become courageous creators. Join us!
