In this episode, I speak with Barbara Daughter. Here's Barbara in her own words:

Since a young teen, I have ardently pursued my personal and spiritual growth and development through a variety of practices and religious / spiritual traditions. Raised as a Lutheran, I entered my undergraduate years, thinking I would become a counseling pastor. Instead, I left that tradition in the 1970s when I discovered for myself that God is beyond our concepts of gender. Since the early 1980s, I have followed pre-Christian wisdom traditions as they have been shared by exemplars like Z. Budapest and Starhawk. Because I view our spiritual understanding as the foundation for our choices in the world, decades later, I was led to completing my Master's degree in Philosophy & Religion with a concentration in Women's Spirituality, as well as working directly with advanced spiritual teachers, honing my awareness of and connection to the world beyond the seen and what is widely-accepted as "true." Through both my academic studies and personal explorations, I have continued to return to and deepen my connection with our Mother Earth and many of Her nature-teachers.

As an artist, I work primarily in acrylics, preferring large-scale “magical realism” paintings of imaginal, inspirational, and mythical women. I have studied with Shiloh Sophia, internationally-renowned artist, and founder of Intentional Creativity, but am otherwise self-taught. As a teacher of Intentional Creativity, I create the space for others to explore their own creativity, inner messages, and healing, while rendering and illuminating them on canvas and in their lives.
