How can we listen to what our creative selves need, and what are the benefits of staying in the present moment (rather than waiting for a "perfect" future in which we might finally achieve ideal conditions and become the artist we want to be)? Artist, author, and small business owner Sarah Faith Gottesdiener joins host Catherine LaSota to talk about her approach to creative practice, and the roles that capacity, intuition, and reflection play in the creative process. The work that Sarah has done over the years -- including The Moon Book: Lunar Magic to Change Your Life, the Moonbeaming podcast, and her workshops via The Moon Studio -- have been important teachers in Catherine's own practice. This conversation is full of wisdom and inspiration!
