  • The art of inner literacy

    “I want people to feel comfortable in their own mind.” – Hannah McPherson

    I wanted to explain what I was feeling; it came so deeply. I thought of how science had not yet come across a way to measure the subjective experience, so it doesn’t get talked about nearly as much.

    But what if we found a way?

    I want to teach an ‘Inner Literacy’ course, which would be me learning alongside others.

    This course would outline and help me and the fellow students identify their internal world and how it signals our thoughts.

    This is not a therapy, this is not a crisis center, this is not forced participation in a group setting. ‘Inner Literacy’ is designed for those who want to get to know their own inner voice better. It is for people who want to find a system to learn about their internal self.

    How does it work?

    We notice a feeling, name a feeling, then pause to reflect on it, we weigh the possibility of action/reaction, and then we make an informed decision on how to proceed or integrate the feeling.

    Will there be more to come on this?

    Yes, I just want to give a light introduction to the topic. A lot of my work currently revolves around this subjective experience course framework, so I just want to give a definition. If you see a reference and are curious, I’d be open to discussion and discourse about the idea.

  • What is BloomSurge?

    “This is a brand for my ideas. I think everyone should brand their own intellectual property. I think that everyone should think about thinking out loud.“ – Hannah McPherson

    When I started Bloom Surge Creative Consulting, it was about a year and a half ago. I was just a girl with a logo and a dream.

    Today, I’m still just a girl with a dream, but one that’s coming together quite nicely.

    I decided to dive into the creative process before starting the public facing project. I wanted to know what made my mind tick, and more importantly, what would be great for my audience.

    This brand is meant to host ideas I have, to inspire ideas in others, and to make impact in the creative and intellectual world.

    What is Bloom Surge?
    It’s me. It’s you. It’s the very idea of being creative. It’s a vehicle for collaboration. It’s a costume I can wear to feel comfortable allowing myself to be seen. It’s an invitation to a space where you have permission to exist creatively.

    What does Bloom Surge do?
    Well, so far it’s a lot of writing in my bedroom. Eventually, I plan to host creative sessions with willing participants looking to explore their imagination. I also plan to launch Inner Literacy activities, to help people get in touch with their own subjective experiences. I want to help people find their voice, get through a brainstorming session feeling alive with passion, and I want to inspire them to create.

    What do you need to do to participate?
    Simply viewing the page makes you part of the process, but if you’d like to get involved or collaborate, you can simply message on social media, send an email, or comment on a post. I’m open to creative projects, brainstorming, reflective conversations, and collaborative ideas, as long as they are thoughtful, ethical, and aligned with the spirit of this space. I’m looking forward to your interest and want to thank you for being here.

    Welcome to Bloom Surge.

    (This makes me feel “Eeeeeep!”)
