Episode 100: Creative Process
Saturday Sep 06, 2025
Saturday Sep 06, 2025
Listen in as host Eileen Campbell-Reed interviews scholar, artist, and liturgist Rev. Dr. Cláudio Carvalhaes. In 2023 Cláudio produced and played the main character in his very first play. In this conversation, we hear about Cláudio’s creative process in putting the musical play together. Cláudio is from Brazil, and he drew on his childhood stories, music, and relationships as this new form of performance took shape. The idea of a play came to him as he considered how to talk with his students about climate change. His goal is to help his students, and all of us, consider the climate emergency from a new point of view.

What can taking out the trash teach us about transition and grief? In these reflections from the summer of 2024, host Eileen Campbell-Reed helps us consider the concrete and measurable losses we’ve faced as well as the more ambiguous losses and transitions in our lives.
