A weekly multi-sensory broadcast — featuring a visual affirmation collage, a podcast, and a curated playlist — generated to nourish your inner child, reconnect you to your why, and invite play into your creative practice.

From where I am, to wherever you are in this moment — thank you for your presence.

This week we explore the intersections of art and wellness in practice. I share case studies of artists in my own community who embody both creativity and healing practice. Together we reflect on the artistic renaissance we’re living through — where the artist remembers their role of bringing wellness to the community.

🌿 Case Studies: Renaissance Artists

* Alice Coltrane

* Etienne Maurice — WalkGood LA

* Hugh Augustine + Hugh’s Hot Bowls

* Tesha Smith

* Website

* Meditation Album

Basic Principles (The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron) 

1. Creativity is the natural order of life. Life is energy: pure creative energy.

2. There is an underlying, in-dwelling creative force infusing all of life -- including ourselves.

3. When we open ourselves to our creativity, we open ourselves to the creator's creativity within us and our lives.

4. We are, ourselves, creations. And we, in turn, are meant to continue creativity by being creative ourselves.

5. Creativity is God's gift to us. Using our creativity is our gift back to God.

6. The refusal to be creative is self-will and is counter to our true nature.

7. When we open ourselves to exploring our creativity, we open ourselves to God: good orderly direction.

8. As we open our creative channel to the creator, many gentle but powerful changes are to be expected.

9. It is safe to open ourselves up to greater and greater creativity.

10. Our creative dreams and yearnings come from a divine source. As we move toward our dreams, we move toward our divinity.

🍃 Symbol of the Week: Sankofa

Sankofa is a symbol that means “Go back and get it”. It comes from the Akan proverb "Se wo were fi na wosan kofa a yenkyiri," which translates to “It is not taboo to go back for what you forgot (or left behind).”

It reminds us to look back at our past in order to create our future. More than a symbol, it is a principle of the Afrocentric worldview to honor our Ancestors and where we come from.
