Abstract

Susan Carter, partnership educator and editorial board member of the Interdisciplinary Journal of Partnership Studies, joins with Sara Saltee, creativity coach and theorist and co-director of the Center for Partnership Studies, for a conversation about the intersections of partnership and creativity. They introduce Saltee’s creative constellations framework, which proposes that we each express multiple different creativities and that our array of creativities shapes the contributions we are designed to make to the healing and evolution of the world. Four interlocking dimensions of the creating self—creative identity, creative process, creator consciousness, and creative direction—are explored.
