What does it mean to follow creativity as a path of inquiry?

In this episode, Sarah sits down with writer, curator, and founder of Silver Press, Sarah Shin, for a thoughtful conversation about creativity, intuition, and the role of language in shaping how we understand the world.

Sarah Shin shares her path as the founder of Silver Press, a feminist publishing house dedicated to formally inventive writing, and Spiral House, an imprint exploring art, poetry, transformation, and alternative ways of knowing. Through publishing, curation, and collaboration, her work creates spaces for ideas that exist at the intersection of literature, philosophy, and the esoteric.

Together, Sarah and Sarah explore how creative practice can become a way of thinking — and how poetry, myth, and symbolic language can help us understand experiences that don’t always fit into conventional frameworks.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

Writing as Inquiry: Creativity, Myth, and Language with Sarah Shin

What does it mean to follow creativity as a path of inquiry?

Many of us feel the pull to explore ideas that don’t fit neatly into one category — creativity, intuition, philosophy, spirituality, scholarship. You might wonder: Is it possible to treat creativity not just as expression, but as a way of understanding the world?

The truth is, many artists, writers, and thinkers are already doing exactly that. Creative practice can become a way of asking deeper questions about reality, memory, and meaning.

In this episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah sits down with writer, curator, and founder of Silver Press, Sarah Shin, to explore how poetry, myth, and symbolic language can open new ways of knowing.

Sarah Shin’s journey founding Silver Press and building a feminist publishing house
What it means to be a “serial collaborator” and why creative work thrives in relationship
How poetry, myth, and symbolic language expand the way we understand reality
Writing as an intuitive practice and a tool for exploring imagination
The relationship between creativity, grief, and ancestral memory
How inherited histories and ancestral stories influence the present
The role of dreams, archetypes, and imagination in creative practice
Why meaning emerges through the encounter between a work and its reader
How myth and poetry help us sense what rational language cannot fully explain

At its heart, this conversation reminds us that language is not just a tool for describing reality — it’s also a way of shaping it.
