Creative-relational inquiry has what is called a “center,” the Center for Creative-Relational Inquiry (CCRI, Sea~cry), at the University of Edinburgh. We are two of the center’s co-directors. Sea~cry is an institution within an institution. It had its 5-year university review in 2022. The experience and (successful) outcome of that review process has left us troubled. Our concern prompts us to write. We respond to sirens. We respond to sirens by turning again to writing, to writing together, with other, by turning again to “downlow lowdown maroon community” of creative-relational inquiry.
