The Power of Reflection on Creativity.  The host for this show is Phyllis Blees.  The guest is Khotan Shahbazi-Harmon.  

Khotan Shahbazi-Harmon, multiple award-winning journalist working at the intersection of leadership, spirituality, society, innovation, and technology, introduces us to the wisdom teachings of the Baháʼí faith. 

The Bahá’u’lláh teaches 'The source of crafts, sciences and arts is the power of reflection. Make ye every effort that out of this ideal mine there may gleam forth such pearls of wisdom and utterance as will promote the well-being and harmony of all the kindreds of the earth.' 

From this teaching, Khotan and Philomena Blees have a deep and heartfelt discussion on sourcing creativity from 'the power of reflection'—spirituality. 

They discuss: the source of creativity, the purpose of creativity in our world, how our creative endeavors speak to the truth of who we are, how we make meaning of our existence and flourish in the world, how creativity serves our twofold purpose to:  pursue our own spiritual and intellectual growth and contribute to the transformation of society.
