Brushing the cobwebs off my long neglected creativity practice. After nearly a decade of inconsistent creating and art making, I am feeling the profound impact of not allowing that part of my voice, emotions, mind, soma to express themselves. Over the years I have found sneaky ways to avoid sitting down to make art, often stifling ideas that begged to be explored, some of them lost to the fragility of time and memory. Perhaps some still waiting to be rediscovered and uncovered. One of those sneaky things has been my work. I teach people to use art as a tool for regulation and self-exploration in their healing journeys, a path I came to because of the profound impact art has had on my own sense of self. So, here I am, bringing it back around and answering the call in my own little ways. Cheers to mandalas and new ideas burgeoning forth! #arthealsthesoul #mandalas #cslewis #artasmedicine #therapeuticcreativity (at Tucson, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cleq5u2S_db/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
