The Hidden Power of Art: Reconnect & Remember Your Soul

Lol at my cats purring into the microphone. Hopefully it soothes you as we gather near and pull up a seat to this gorgeous talk — this could’ve lasted for so much longer if it were up to me. 

It was incredible to remember the purpose of art — seeing the creator within each and every one of us and how it connects us with each other, our soul, and the divine. 

What could matter more than that —

If that is what gets us out of bed?

If that it is what propels us to care for the earth, to care for each other?

Without giving and receiving love, what is the value of any of this, at all?

The value is the beauty that gets created from our artistic display from caring and giving a care in the world to begin with.

Thank you Rhythmic Earth 2024 for another incredible ecstatic dance season!

Join me, Ruthie Lerato, as we uncover this fascinating dynamic with our insightful guests Saffron Magic, Michelle Wolf, and Larry Stazewski. From Larry's DJ booth to Saffron's circus arts company, and Michelle's multifaceted creative ventures, this episode is a testament to the power of embracing our artistic identities despite the hurdles. You'll hear how each of us has navigated the challenges of sustaining a creative career, finding joy in the process, and staying true to our purposes.

Through heartfelt personal stories, we demonstrate how life experiences shape artistic expression and emphasize the resilience required to thrive in the arts. Michelle shares the evolution of her podcast "All the Things" and her book "Mixtape Memories," offering a glimpse into her eclectic approach to art. Saffron's tales from the circus arts world reveal the emotional toll and transformation her work entails, while Larry underscores the significance of art in forging human connections. Together, we consider how anxiety, often viewed as a hindrance, can actually propel us forward when harnessed correctly.

Lastly, we celebrate the intrinsic value of art and its role in creating memorable, emotive experiences, especially during tough times. We reflect on the importance of continuous self-improvement and the joy of connecting through creative expression. I also share my deep gratitude for the Amethyst Retreat Center, a sanctuary that has nurtured our artistic spirits and fostered a supportive community. Listen in for an episode brimming with courage, creativity, and the celebration of human connection through art.
