Hi There,
I had the honor of speaking at Vision: A Center for Spiritual Living this past Sunday, about Art as a Solution for Reality.
My talk starts at the 34:47 minute mark and goes until 1:05:40
The lives of Bill Murray, Frida Kahlo, Mary Oliver are included as people who actually were saved by the arts.
I share a poignant poem called Shout Out from Sekou Sundiata, who was an African-Amerian from Harlem who moved from heroine addiction to theater, poetry, and music. From anger and hostility to grace and inspiration.
And I share a bit about how art saved me too. It continues to do so. I hope you find a sanctuary in your creative process.

Enjoy.
Jill
There are spaces open for the February Taos Retreat
Join me in immersing yourself in art, writing, and smart phone photography in a different way. Be nurtured by the healthy gourmet food and a stressfree environment for introverts, intimidated beginners as well as pros.
My own challenges to the creative process inspired a system using mindfulness, psychology, and reckless play to make it easier to enjoy not only what I do creatively, but how I do it. It’s more about fun and capturing the moment than precision, perfectionism and the final product. It is NOT about competition and comparison.
