Art+Heart with guest Jenna Brack

Jenna Brack shares her original poetry around the topic of surrender. Written format of Jenna's poems Takeaways Your deepest strength of heart comes from being chosen and prized just as you are. Surrender is not about giving up, but about letting go to receive love. Exploration and curiosity are vital for personal growth. Art can be a pathway to understanding and processing emotions. The act of writing poetry can be a form of play and exploration. Community enriches the creative process and provides support. Every new beginning requires a letting go of something else. The beauty of life often lies in the mundane and overlooked moments. Rereading poetry can reveal deeper meanings and insights. Vulnerability is a sign of maturity and growth. 00:00 Welcome 03:04 Jenna: Art as Invitation to Explore 07:38 Poem: Drop the Marbles 24:55 Poem: Scrawling 42:55 Poem: A Tree, Of Sort 01:01:34 Final Reflections
