"There's so much in the culture that's not said rather than what is said. It's the subtleties...there's a beauty, a way of life that is more about the belief that less is more...about respect of each other and elders and the idea of namasté ~ the light in you is the light in me." Michelle Sakhai, New York City based artist, sharing about how her experience visiting family in Japan every summer while growing up informs her art and how she lives her life.

In this episode, you'll feel that respect and light coming through in Michelle's way of being. There's such grounded strength and gentleness in her words and her paintings.

We talk about how Michelle naturally tunes into her body, mind, and spirit when she's painting, what she's learned from teaching transformative art at the Harlem Hospital, and how her spirituality has evolved over time. We also discuss the importance of recognizing and honoring the many ways in which 2020 opened the door for reflection, introspection, and creativity.

We concluded with Michelle sharing about what the power of women means to her and and what she’s looking forward to in 2021.
