What Now?

For Soulful Seekers Looking for Creative Courage and Calm Renewal in a Noisy, Changing World

The first in a series of four Field Guides for The Creative Journey, What Now? invites participant readers to explore a new map for moving forward in times of change.

Drawing on more than thirty years of teaching experience along with her own journeys through loss and transition, Karen Lee Turner brings her characteristic warmth, hospitality, and gentle guidance to these practical and poetic pages.

Part journal, part workbook, part personal pilgrimage, this field guide features rich visual landscapes, thoughtful writing prompts, and plenty of space to find your own voice.

Grounded in four practices inspired by the poetic philosophy of Robert Frost,

What Now? offers a rhythmic blueprint to help you find your way in a changing world:

PERFORMING: Bringing forth your unique creative gifts with courage and confidence.

RETREATING: Stepping away from the noise to quiet your mind and restore your spirit.

PROTESTING: Living out your inner values with bold integrity.

ACTING WITH LOVE: Extending hospitality and kindness to the world around you.
