Everywhere I go I see more struggle than before. What has been most helpful for me during these times of struggle is a renewed commitment to my sitting meditation practice. Here on “expressive arts work” an online for now business we will create art, meditate, and move. Tired of zoom? Let’s chat on the phone while you draw, move, meditate, sculpt or read a poem! I deeply believe and I know I am not the first to stay it "art heals". Living an artistic life, a meditated life, a life full of time in nature clearly helps us feel overall better. How do you track that commitment? Can you take a look at your photos and celebrate those times in the outdoors, even if it's taking a photo of the tree around the corner from your house.
