WHR 3.110: Creating Art in Awareness with Michaell Magrutsche Mar 13, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, we are joined today by an awareness and creativity educator, speaker, author, and artist, Michaell Magrutsche. He talks about how he found art through his quest for something that he could relate to, and he also shares how the act of creating art can be a person's superpower that is applicable to creativity, leadership, relationship, and whatever a person focuses on.

Michaell's dyslexia and dysgraphia forced him to develop an awareness of seeing the world purely from a human perspective. Creating art completed his awareness of what it is to be human-relevant vs. system-relevant. Michaell's talent is recognizing awareness to seed a new consciousness that allows us to unveil the untapped superpowers of human limitlessness, art/creativity, healthy discourse, and adaptability to make all humans fit within our human tapestry.

Because Michaell has been a sick child, is also dyslexic, and has dysgraphia (hand-eye coordination), he could only navigate in very few systems. Michaell was forced to find his salvation in art. Interacting and creating art outside of systems helped him feel humane and got him through life. Michaell is completely self-taught. Art allowed him to experience life with other humans, and 5 books later, Michaell produced with Robert Evans and became a City Arts Commissioner, etc.

Today, Michaell keeps unveiling the limitations of all man-made systems like technology, science, economy, and generalized knowledge to change systems to be more human-adaptable instead of humans keep forcing themselves to be system adaptive.

Michaell's mission is to show us something very different.
