Going deeper into the We Are All Created Creative Honor
Creativity is not a talent for the few, it’s a divine birthright of all. Creativity is a sacred reflection of our very being. Rabbi Adina teaches that to be created b’tzelem Elohim—in the image of God—is to be created as creators. This honor uplifts those whose work affirms and expands this truth, revealing creativity as essential to human and communal flourishing.
Susan Magsamen is receiving the We Are All Created Creative Honor for her:
Groundbreaking work at the intersection of neuroscience and the arts, affirming creativity as essential to human flourishing.
Leadership of the International Arts + Mind Lab and the NeuroArts Blueprint, building a field that shows we are, in fact, created creative.
Translation of complex research into accessible practices—demonstrating how engaging in art transforms brains, bodies, and communities.
Embodiment of the Torah’s teaching that to be made b’tzelem Elohim is to be endowed with the sacred capacity to imagine, make, and renew.
