Creativity matters in all aspects of society. If you want to reconnect with your inherent creativity and explore new ways of expressing it, don't miss this series, which will be held at 2 p.m. on the second Sunday of each month at The Silo at Hunt Hill Farm in New Milford, Connecticut. The series will cover topics about creativity in all forms (including, but not limited to, arts) -- creative thinking, creative communities, creativity and education, creativity in organizations, creative persons, the creative process, creative aging, creativity and movement, creativity and spirituality, and more. In the first session on January 10, come and explore the general topic of "what is creativity?" -- plus, who has it, and how one can tap into more creativity both personally and professionally. Steven Dahlberg, who will host the series, also will lead the kick-off session in January. Dahlberg is the head of the International Centre for Creativity and Imagination and teaches "Creativity + Social Change" at the University of Connecticut.
