A Course in Daemonic Creativity

with Matt Cardin

For a limited time, MC101: Writing at the Wellspring, with author Matt Cardin, will accept new student enrollment. Offered for the first time as a self-paced course, MC101 goes beyond the typical writing or creativity workshop. Students delve into the concept and experience of creativity as an inner collaboration with a separate force or intelligence within the psyche and examine ways to understand and navigate the tension between the drive to create and what can sometimes feel like an opposite impulse toward total stillness and inactivity that can accompany spiritual insight.

This course concluded in December 2024 and is now self-paced.
