Spirited Living on the 3rd Tuesday of the Month at 5pm PST

TODAY: The Mythic Mind with Tracey Morton and Dani Van de Velde

That’s why creativity feels so instinctive, it’s something humans have always used to make sense of the world, whether through myths, novels, or the small stories we tell ourselves just to get through the day. 

Our show will centre on how creativity helps people reconnect with themselves, how old myths guide us through modern challenges, and how storytelling both ancient or contemporary remains one of the most powerful and comforting things humans do.
