https://Art2Life.com - Art-making is an invitation to presence. It’s where we learn to become more sensitive to the world around us and let go of everything that isn’t in front of us. Meet Barbara Groth. Barbara has spent 30 years pushing the boundaries for what's possible in emerging technologies, human experience, design, storytelling, and social impact with companies such as Walt Disney, Pixar, and Meow Wolf. In 2015, she founded the Nomadic School of Wonder (NSOW), which seeks to take guests on adventures in awe that are rooted in nature, art, community, and play. Join us as we discuss wonder, awe, presence, and how those things lead to breakthroughs in our art and life.
