    The Hidden Power of Art: Reconnect & Remember Your Soul

    Lol at my cats purring into the microphone. Hopefully it soothes you as we gather near and pull up a seat to this gorgeous talk — this could’ve lasted for so much longer if it were up to me.  It was incredible to remember the purpose of art — seeing the creator within each and every one of us and how it connects us with each other, our soul, and the divine.  What could matter more than that — If that is what gets us out of bed? If that it is what propels us to care for the earth, to care for each other? Without giving and receiving love, what is the value of any of this, at all? The value is the beauty that gets created from our artistic display from caring and giving a care in the world to begin with. Thank you Rhythmic Earth 2024 for another incredible ecstatic dance season!  • Join me, Ruthie Lerato, as we uncover this fascinating dynamic with our insightful guests Saffron Magic, Michelle Wolf, and Larry Stazewski. From Larry's DJ booth to Saffron's circus arts company, and Michelle's multifaceted creative ventures, this episode is a testament to the power of embracing our artistic identities despite the hurdles. You'll hear how each of us has navigated the challenges of sustaining a creative career, finding joy in the process, and staying true to our purposes. Through heartfelt personal stories, we demonstrate how life experiences shape artistic expression and emphasize the resilience required to thrive in the arts. Michelle shares the evolution of her podcast "All the Things" and her book "Mixtape Memories," offering a glimpse into her eclectic approach to art. Saffron's tales from the circus arts world reveal the emotional toll and transformation her work entails, while Larry underscores the significance of art in forging human connections. Together, we consider how anxiety, often viewed as a hindrance, can actually propel us forward when harnessed correctly. Lastly, we celebrate the intrinsic value of art and its role in creating memorable, emotive experiences, especially during tough times. We reflect on the importance of continuous self-improvement and the joy of connecting through creative expression. I also share my deep gratitude for the Amethyst Retreat Center, a sanctuary that has nurtured our artistic spirits and fostered a supportive community. Listen in for an episode brimming with courage, creativity, and the celebration of human connection through art. @Michellewolfe.me @Saffron.magic @Thesoundsofneph Support the show Loving this episode?

    So who gets to be called an "Artist"? Resurrect the artist within you!

    Speaker 1  0:12   It's like when you're recording to you have to get the giggles out first. Speaker 2  0:15   We can do that. Welcome back to the *go your own way* Podcast. Here to remind you that you are an artist and your creations are needed in this world. We need you so let's express let's create let's go! Speaker 1  0:38   That thirst that's the desire to learn and get better at those things. If I thought my art was perfect all the time, I think I would fail as an artist because I would just be too wrapped up in myself to like be inspired. Speaker 2  1:46   let's hear from each one of you. I would love to hear you just share your name or what name you go by with your art or your music or your craft and a little bit about what you do and we'll go there so this can be really free flowing. If you don't have a response to something don't feel pressure to say anything. But if we want to go on on a certain topic more than another, we can totally just flow with wherever we want to go. So yeah, wants to lead us. Speaker 1  2:17   I'll do it. Hi everyone. My name is Surina Slack I'm from Carlise and I'm a painter. I use acrylic as my main media. And I've got a little table right down there if you guys are interested in checking your wine art while you're here, and I was invited here by Ruthie and Natalie because they're familiar with my art and I'm a fan of their music. I'm a fan of Chris and Natalie's music. I've seen them both live. It's wonderful. And I'm really happy to be here Speaker 3  2:50   though, James I go by Squonk is my artists name after the Pennsylvania's cryptid I make electronic music. I was invited here by Ruth Natalie had told her about my music I like to make same kind of music as Chris does being most familiar with with his tunes and and again, just the opportunity to come around with other like minded people and share about art and hang out seemed like pretty good time. Speaker 4  3:20   Hi guys, I'm Marissa. I recently go by Marissa rose. I'm a musician, songwriter, singer, jewelry maker painter, really whatever wants to come through at the time. Very grateful to have that privilege. And yeah, I was invited here by roofie and rhythmic Earth and I've done this once before to figure it out. When I do this to help sharpen my edge for public speaking that's also an art form. So make Speaker 2  3:54   some and I'm Ruthie Lerato I'm make songs. I have been playing the piano since I was seven and started playing in church as the church pianist. It was a requirement because my dad was a pastor. And I've been writing songs my whole life and I feel really inspired by artists that are leading the way that are already doing it and I as well I'm so inspired by Natalie and do mandala and all of you guys here today. So question is I'd love to hear like what was going on in your life when you first decided you wanted to create and wanted to go on this path of exploring your art forms, whatever they may be. Can you remember a time when age or what was happening and have Speaker 1  4:42   a really easy answer to this question. And when I was 27 I legally changed my first name, which was quite a transformative process. And incidentally, like these two things didn't really have anything to do with each other but I just decided to pick up painting again as a hobby because I showed a lot of interest in it when I was a kid, but I was going through such like a metamorphosis I guess in my life that I just found that a lot of things that like clicking into place and the minute I picked up acrylic I was enamored with it and I found that I had an affinity for it. And I've dabbled in other art forms throughout my life. So to find something that I was so like instantly connected to just felt really good. And then the government let me change my name.
