Quarantine Collaboration Provides an Opening to Creativity, Mindfulness, and Connection
By Kirsten Akens ’96
The collaboration between Jane Hilberry, CC professor of creativity and innovation, and Colorado Springs resident Sam Stephenson began with a question.
When locals began socially isolating in mid-March, Stephenson, who organizes “Converge,” a Colorado Springs lecture series designed to bring people together for author visits and post-lecture conversations, had an idea. He wanted to create boxes filled with writing exercises, says Hilberry, “to engage people during this time that everybody was stuck at home … to not see those times at home as just something to get through, but also to see it as a time when it’s possible to actually deepen your connections with your family or whoever your immediate community is.”
Stephenson called Hilberry and asked, “Do you have exercises?”
