Learning agency and anti-fragility for individuals walking the pathless path

What does it mean to be grid-free?

Living Creatively

The traditional path: what we are told and never question. A ‘template’ of being, a system of indoctrination

The creative path: a path that is walked while/after questioning everything. We intentionally choose every bit of our action.

Unstructured freedom is tough to navigate. How can we find support?
