OCSPLORA (ox-PLOR-a) began as a project of Scatterseed Media Lab and continues as Scatterseed’s flagship project.
The goal is to connect creative revolutionaries with the people, stories, and ideas of the creative revolution. What’s the creative revolution? It’s a an idea that represents a movement away from comfort, consumerism, and selfishness towards adventure, creativity, and generosity.
Creative revolutionaries are changing the world, in big and small ways, for the better. We want to be a part of that movement and we want to show you what it looks like.
We’re marching in the rain, single file along a wide mountain ridge. The sky flashes and a peal of thunder rolls above us. The ground’s getting muddy and my shoes are soaked through. My fancy rain jacket keeps the top half of me dry but not warm. You don’t remember how cold rain can be when you pack your rain jacket for a trip like this. You assume staying dry equals staying warm. Nope, I’m cold to the bone. My shorts are dripping and the handles of my trekking poles are spongy wet. The only way to get warm is to keep walking. And what else would I be doing? I’m on the Appalachian Trail.![[TED Talks Tuesday] Relieving the pressure of creative success](http://ocsplora.com/?headway-trigger=thumbnail&src=http%3A%2F%2Focsplora.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2012%2F01%2FElizabeth-Gilbert-on-nurturing-creativity-Video-on-TED.com_-188x188.jpg&q=90&w=75&h=75&zc=1)
