The Art of Transformation

By: Mara Evenstar
  • Summary

  • Transformation is more than just change. It is a change so radical that a shift in identity or form occurs. Even positive transformation is unsettling. How can we become allies with this powerful force? How can we move through our transformations with less fear and more grace? How do we become the artists of our own transformation?brbr Often we perceive that change is happening to us, rather than from us. However there is an alternative way to experience change and transformation, and it is one that works with the natural patterns of our world. This alternative way of experiencing allows and empowers us to be artists and creators of our own lives.brbr Here, on The Art of Transformation, we playfully explore transformation from several dimensions. We search out the patterns and mechanics of transformation at work on our personal, cultural and institutional levels. This deepened understanding allows us to participate with change more fully in all aspects of our experience.

    How do we revitalize our communities? How do we create communities that support all of its inhabitants? Join me as I speak with the extraordinary Social Artist and Cultural Creative, Shel Kimen. Shel has many irons in the fire, but one of her current undertakings is Collision Works, a hybrid profit / non-profit social enterprise in Detroit, designed to connect people through their personal stories. Shel’s initiatives have brought her into the realms of placemaking, urban resilience, community-first design, architecture, entrepreneurialism, and healing through the power of story. We all have stories, and Shel believes more than anything that we all have something valuable to contribute, and has made it her mission to cultivate that

  • A Portrait of Transformation in Action
    May 20 2015
    What is it like to lead life constantly calling on the powers of transformation? What are the gifts and the trials of such a path? This week I speak with a fairly new acquaintance, Austin Szelkowski. I am intrigued by the little slices of Austin’s story I’ve been exposed to, and I have been impressed with his level of awareness and integrity in our interactions. I hope you’ll join me in getting to know Austin a little better too, and perhaps in the process we can learn from an up and coming artist of transformation!
