Rosano and Vivek invite you to a salon on creation and consumption becoming one.
What can various traditions of non-duality teach us about being spontaneous? What makes someone a good improviser? What makes for a good experience on improvisation? How much do improvisers plan? Is it something that is “manufactured” or simply “channeled?” Can improvisation be a portal into an experience of shared consciousness?
Let’s talk about improvisation in comedy and music, and how to encourage more spontaneity in life.
