My guest is Emily Sly an artist exploring improvisational Fooling and Clowning and Singing. I met Emily as we are both participants of a course called PathMakers, and I was not aware until I witnessed Emily sharing her clown with the group that she was in fact a clown, and I was overjoyed and delighted! Emily has some profound insights about how creativity within her family shaped her life. Emily shares a few of her poems with us as well.

My guest Sarah Campbell has a delightfully welcoming presence. I have had the opportunity through several workshops and retreats to visit, sit in with her church choir and see the home that she and her husband Yorik have created on the Island of Lismore. I have even visited the Red well that Sarah describes in this interview! The beauty of Lismore is truly awe inspiring. Sarah is offering several kinds of workshops related to creativity and nature using “mostly” the native plants on the island.

My guest is Rabbi Adina Allen author of The Place of All Possibility: Cultivating Creativity Through Ancient Jewish Wisdom. I feel very aligned with the ideas in this book. Rabbi Adina explores how ancient Jewish text, not only the Torah but related writings and teachings connect to creativity and curiosity. Each chapter invites us in to experiments to allow us to experience directly what is described. I would highly recommend this book! Here are some links to find out more:

My guest is Musician, Composer Anne Wood. I thank Niloo Kahn for introducing me to Anne. It is so fascinating to learn about Anne’s life story and the story of how her theatrical experience called When Mountains Meet came to life. I won’t give away any plot twists here. I especially loved hearing how each part of Anne’s life contributed to the artist that Anne is today. Anne graciously acknowledges her artistic team that helped bring her story to life in this way. I hope you enjoy this complex and real life story as well and at the end you will get to hear a song from the album When Mountains Meet, the song is called Gilgit Going.

I remember artistic retreats where I met my guest Tamsin Haggis and I was in awe of her creative exploration, her different styles and as I learned more I was fascinated with her background. Recently Tamsin has begun writing her own Substack which you can find here: Art Pilgrim which I find fascinating. I’ve seen Tamsin create sand paintings and abstract images that look similar to cellular images from a microscope as well as figures of dancers and images from her various travels that intrigue and inspire me.

My guest Writer Lisa Martens joins us all the way from Costa Rica! I want to thank Yolande Brener for introducing us. We discuss Lisa’s Novel: Like It Never Happened a humorous yet insightful exploration of generational trauma. Lisa has become an expert in family dynamics, drawing from some personal experiences while also crafting the fictional journey of Alice as she navigates a complex web of relationships. The novel delves into Alice's internal world as well as her external family, all striving to understand their place in the world. I was particularly drawn to Lisa's humorous approach to storytelling. She demonstrates how family can be a powerful trigger, and how creativity can help us untangle the complexities of life and gain self-discovery. 

Here is a link to her novel Like It Never Happened:
