The Pantheon: Where Creativity, Business and Humanity Meet

The Beauty of Small Choices and Authentic Desire
This morning as I took Jake for a walk down the streets of Tavira, I noticed a coin on the sidewalk. Pick it up, a gentle voice inside me said. I glanced at the men drinking their espressos outside the cafe and felt silly. Who stops to pick up a penny? What if it...

Laura Khalil’s 100 Conversations Project and the Case For Agenda-Free, Human Connection
Today I spent 20 minutes on a zoom call with a perfect stranger. “Would you like to play a game with me?” she said with a twinkle in her eye. I knew I was in exactly the right place. She pulled a card from the Campfire Card deck and invited us into the prompt: Who is...
Let’s have a Wild Creation chat!
