The Divine Flow of Creativity: A Conversation with Kristin Hanggi
How do we embrace creativity as a divine force, even when it challenges our limits? In this episode of Embodied, I had the joy of speaking with Kristin Hanggi—Tony-nominated director, writer, and author of God, Sex, and Musical Theater. Kristin's work spans Broadway, film, and beyond, exploring themes of faith, identity, and authenticity. Together, we uncovered the sacred, mystical nature of the creative process.
Kristin shared how she views creativity as a living, divine energy flowing through her, requiring trust, surrender, and the courage to let go of control. She described how this approach has shaped her as an artist and as a person navigating life’s uncertainties.
The Mystical Nature of Creativity:
In our hour-long conversation, we explored:
- How trusting the creative process is like being ‘done by life,’ as Wayne Dyer famously said.
- The interplay between creativity and community, where collective visions come alive through collaboration.
- Why rest is essential for accessing creativity’s full potential.
- How creativity mirrors life’s transformative power, helping us break through personal edges and grow.
Kristin reminded us that true creativity requires freedom in our art and how we live and move through the world. She beautifully stated, “Can I surrender to this force that is living through me, creating through me, having relationships through me?”
