    EP 63 Lama Rod Owens, New Saints From Broken Hearts to Spiritual Warriors
    Apr 12 2024

    Lama Rod navigates the complexities of healing and transformation, highlighting the role of community support in fostering resilience. His reflections underscore the intersection of creativity, spirituality, and emotional well-being.

    We discuss the concept of radical self-care; what it is (and what it isn’t), why it is so important for us to know how to replenish our energy, set boundaries and avoid depletion, and why it plays such a crucial role in nurturing personal well-being and resilience that ultimately empowers us to serve the people we love better.

    We talk about the idea that our brokenheartedness serves as a gateway to discovering our innate gifts and talents. By acknowledging and tending to our inner wounds, we can uncover hidden strengths and abilities, leading to personal growth and transformation.

    The importance of building community emerges as a central theme, Lama Rod highlights the significance of leaning into one's community for support and guidance, especially during times of need. He emphasizes the power of collective care and mutual aid in fostering resilience and fostering a sense of belonging.

    One of the most powerful moments in this episode comes as Kate asks Lama Rod to share his practice of connecting with unseen beings for support and guidance. Whether through ancestral reverence, prayer, or meditation, he suggests that tapping into the wisdom of unseen realms can provide valuable insights and assistance on our journey.

    Lama Rod encourages listeners to embrace joy as a radical act of defiance against suffering and oppression. He explores how cultivating joy in the face of adversity can be a powerful form of resistance, fostering resilience and inspiring positive change in ourselves and others.

    62 - Autumn Skye: Intuition, Surrender & the Sacred Act of Creativity (updated encore presentation)
    Mar 29 2024
    If you’ve been on the fence of stepping into yourself as an artist you’ll want to hear the amazing things she says about how art can serve as a tribute to the past, a processing of the present and of forward visioning. And how as artists in this potent time in history we get to ask ourselves what we want to put our energy behind and what vision we want to create for our future to invite others into their own creativity and healing. My favourite part comes towards the end when she shares the ritual she does whenever she goes to a new city that deepens her connection to creativity and presence instantaneously - and then connects it to how we can be in our creative lives. I loved it and cannot wait to try it out next time I go on a tripAutumn was one of those lucky individuals who was encouraged to nurture and follow the creativity in her from a very young age. This resulted in her being fairly unencumbered by distracting limiting beliefs that so many of us have to navigate when it comes to creativity. She has a beautiful, generous soul and is passionate about sharing the wonder and power of creativity - helping people free themselves to infuse playfulness, curiosity and discovery into their own creative journeys through teaching engagements and retreats She’s partnered with Alana Fairchild and created artwork on the Sacred Rebels oracle deck, has her own beautiful self published deck, and will once again be working with Alana on a new oracle deck in the coming year.

Loving advice for the person who feels they don't even have the right to try - or may have been bullied by a loved one not to shine brighter than them.How artwork can be like a map for humanity as well as shape our reality - it is at the tip of the spear of cultural revolutionHer poetic and inspiring definition of what creativity (which might be the best definition of creativity I have ever heard) truly is that might just change how you look at every single momentResources discussed in this episodeLiz Gilbert (fear being a passenger in her car)Sacred Rebels DeckAlana FairchildGOOGLE HER DECKS AND LINKS to themABOUTAutumn Skye lives, breathes, and dreams art, and has done so since she was old enough to hold a pencil and reach for a piece of paper. Her childhood and early adult years were spent traveling the landscapes of both her wild Canadian backyard and distant international shores. Through her wanderlust she developed a deep reverence for the beauty of nature and the diversity of humanity, and continuously endeavors to translate this inspiration through her work. As a self-taught artist she is forever a student of the intuitive, creative process. Autumn Skye perpetually explores and plays in many artistic mediums and modalities, from music to sculpture, cooking, event production, sewing, interior decorating, and jewelry making. However, her sustaining focus remains primarily in painting, and finds acrylic paints to offer the most freedom, luminosity, and versatility in her intuitive art-making. Her style gracefully weaves together refined realism, iconic imagery and symbolism, and subtle energetic geometries. She’s inspired by the beauty of this incredible planet, the potency of these extraordinary times, the mysteries of the cosmos, the resiliency of the human spirit, and the intricate connections between all facets of life. Autumn Skye's meticulous and poignant paintings continue to gain expanding recognition, attracting audiences, collectors, and students from around the globe. She exhibits and teaches worldwide, and otherwise thrives and paints in the beautiful temperate-rainforest of coastal British Columbia, Canada. Considering herself immensely blessed to do what feeds her soul, she strives to support others through creative empowerment, the gift of beauty, and the perpetuation of inspiration.Autumn Skye website | facebook | instagramKate Shepherd: art | website | instagramMorning Moon Nature Jewelry | website | instagramCreative Genius Podcast | website |...

    58 - Wendy McWilliams: You Can't Believe Everything You Think
    Feb 2 2024

    Subscribe and LISTEN to the FULL episode

    “You can't believe everything you think”   

    When Wendy McWilliams was 49 years old, she felt like she needed a hobby. What started as a search for a simple past-time hobby, quickly evolved into her life’s passion - a thriving art career her work sought after for private collections around the globe. After working through 22 different jobs including for Calvin Klein & Revlon in Europe, she finally landed on what she was meant to do in life - painting. 

    It’s hard to not be skeptical about ourselves and our abilities. Art allows us to channel a source of energy, of inspiration, and opens us to become a vehicle for creativity to create beauty through our hands. We are meant to create, to allow creativity to flow through us. Our job is to remain open and to make sure we do not believe everything we think - especially when it comes to limiting beliefs. 

    “You hate your own creations because you think they look too much like you made them. You think if you keep trying you can make your work look like some other, better person made it. But there is no level of skill where you transcend yourself. The thing you hate about your art, is the most valuable thing about it”  (paraphrased from Elicia Donze)
