#50 Fantasy Art, Creative Flow, and Faerieland with Alyse Longenecker in Bali

Your Creative Sparks:

• We are ONE WITH NATURE. It is only our ego that makes us feel insignificant.
• Being in Nature feels like a REAL LIFE FANTASY.
• We know the TRUTH of existence as CHILDREN, that fantasy is a real world.

Alyse did guided Faerie tours in the forest at the age of ten, and she has refused to allow society to culture the fantasy out of her. A visionary painter, much of her work is based in Nature, with a lot of hidden details and imaginative symbolism. On the tail of the Bali pilgrimage, Lobsterbird shares reflections with Alyse on the science of magic, our interconnectedness, the art of flow, and creating space for enchantment. Join us at the campfire, gazing up at the stars and upon the shores of the sacred lake. Leave us a Rating & Review!

Your Travelogue

• Completing the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, a 26 mile trek on ancient cobblestone steps, and getting to know Mom all over again on the trail. [2:22]
• Being in Nature... What is so terrifying and powerful about it? [6:13]
• She didn’t appreciate all of Dad’s camping as a kid. Later, she lived in a cabin in the woods in Georgia, surrounded by five acres of wild forest. Only then did Alyse realize how much she loved being in Nature. [11:25]
• The Georgia forest: ferns and faeries. [13:29]
• If the portal opens, I have the right shoes. I’m not going to be that girl wearing heels in fairyland. [15:50]
• Flow is being in the quantum field. Source is the soul of creativity. [18:45]
• PRACTICUM!: Alyse’s warm-up practice for creative flow.
• The way Nature weaves in and out of itself and supports itself is really magical. Science for Alyse is all about biology and the interconnectedness of all things. [24:15]
• We don’t leave enough space for really deep wonder. [27:35]
• Creativity brings people together. The act of creating together frees us from judging ourselves. [32:50]
• Crafting Confidence: kids making art projects, things that have an intention behind them + a gentle exploration of identity. [36:16]
• Being bullied and finding friends who were being their own sort of weird. [39:54]
• Twenty years is a long time to develop the habit of not loving yourself. [43:33]
• Alyse is guiding people to meet their own faery queen, connect to their own true spirit and their own magical beingness - a guide in this world and the other world. [46:43]
