Hello again, and a warm welcome to new listeners! This is the first episode of a new season and, in a way, the first chapter of an entirely new story. Old friends will remember The Heart Gallery; now, we’ve stepped out into the wider - and wilder? - landscape of the imagination.

In this short opening episode, I share the tale of a matrescence-sparked imagination awakening, the first beginning of a curriculum experiment drawn from works of those on the imagination frontlines, and a glimpse of what’s to come this season.

Mentioned in this episode:
- Krista Tippet, On Being pod, & Adrienne Maree Brown's On Radical Imagination and Moving Towards Life.
- Tani Cade Bambara on making revolutionary change irresistible - secondary source.
- Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt.
- Ocean Vuong on Talk Easy pod.
- Murmuration example.
