## Resource

James Victore is an Emmy Award-winning artist and author, whose work is held in the permanent collection of the Louvre and has been on display many times at MoMA (NYC). He has shaped the visual language of institutions from The New York Times to the City of New York. In this conversation, we explore the spiritual gravity of "staying in the pool" when creativity gets hard, discuss the incubation time of the soul, the environmental and creative toll of our want of ease, and the quiet, daily discipline of living consciously in a world designed to keep us asleep.
