4.02 Art & Creativity as the Antithesis of Self-Abandonment: A Conversation with Isadora Stowe

Powered by RedCircle

 

As part of our series on the second chakra, today we explore art & creation. Our guest is Isadora Stowe, a multi-media visual artist and professor who lives and works along the border of Mexico, Texas, & New Mexico. Her artwork focuses on psychological landscapes. That is, how we all use our identity and memories to construct internal places.

This conversation is an interesting perspective on how you, dear listener, can give yourself more freedom to create. And, how artistic expression may be an essential component to your spiritual journey.

“Creativity, which is the expression of our originality, helps us stay mindful that what we bring to the world is completely original and cannot be compared.”
