This approach allows us to transcend individual limitations and generate new creative expressions. A cornerstone of Inland Ocean is our dedication to sustained collaboration, propelling our evolution as an ensemble, enriching our creative endeavors, and driving innovation in contemporary co-creation.

“If you're looking for the inland ocean that stretched from Illinois to the Appalachians, you missed it by about 300 million years

David Lynch has likened consciousness to an ocean. That means we have at least a puddle sloshing around inside each of us. Collectively the puddles, lakes and streams make an inland ocean.”
