From Babies to Rocket Scientists to Retirees: We Are All Creatives with Dorian Mintzer and Hugh Willard
Creativity is an innate, generative, evolving process of self-expression. One application of creativity requires an individual to be open to new ideas and approaches to seek an original solution to a problem or challenge. Adjusting to retirement presents significant challenges to an individual's emotional, mental, social, and, therefore, physical health. Pursuing creative activities is essential to securing and maintaining a vibrant, healthy retirement lifestyle.
In this interview, Hugh Willard will provide an in-depth exploration of the role and application of creativity in the lives of retirees. This will include:
- a broader and deeper understanding of creativity as a tool for psychological health beyond the historical aesthetic application
- identifying the basic components and tools of creativity and seeing the ways these support the retiree's process
- exploring the central role of environment, including relational supports, in fostering (or inhibiting) creativity.
