We were in Tällberg for a day (Saturday to Sunday) - a pintoresque little town where you get the sense that you will see a hobbit sooner or later. The houses are simple and comfortable and many of them have grass on the roof. The weather was magnificent, at times, less generous at others.
The Tällberg Forum was taken place there. Here are some videos of the talks.
The workshop on creativity was insightful given that it had individuals from very different walks of life. What I took from it is that creativity is one thing but getting things done is another and whether we take inspiration from groups, conversations, images, nature at the end of the day what counts is the private moment, the moment of integration where you put the pieces of the puzzle together and translate something that is in your mind into something tangible and external.

One of the speakers, Arthur Miller, is a professor that wrote The book "Picasso and Einstein: Space, Time, and theBeauty That Causes Havoc" two men who reshaped the 20th century and, in terms of getting things done, "made no distinctions between their personal and working lives".
Lots of food for thought.
Pio Barone Lumaga facilitated the session. In a separate conversation, Pio gave me very generous and extremely valuable pieces of advice on the creative process. You have to see this photograph! He is the editor or Loft Magazine http://www.loftbookazine.com/
