31: 🎨 Art as a bridge to your body – with Pascale Côté

How can we be creative and playful in a society that tells us to perform, produce, and consume 24/7? Why is making art and being creative not just a childish hobby but an act of healing and world-building 🌀? In this episode, I talk with creativity guide, artist, and writer Pascale Côté [https://www.dearcreativemind.com/] about art as a medicine for your soul, soma, spirit and mind and how we can live creatively in a society that gives our “muses” a hard time 🧚🏼. Pascale explains how white supremacy, capitalism, and oppressive systems create a hostile environment for (creative) human beings and how they influence your personal way of living and (not) creating and your creative self in a direct and negative way. But we don’t stop at these bans and obstacles ✨! Pascale shares beautiful and rebellious thoughts about your creative self and she offers inspirations and ideas how you can reclaim and return to your natural playfulness, joy, and creativity. 👩🏼‍🎨 Tune in and hear about: * Simple tips for tiptoeing your way into a creative practice  * Why your inner critic has something to share and how to turn them into your collaborator * How to integrate inner parts, polarities, and (inner) conflicts through art  * Why art can be a medicine for your soul, body, mind, and spirit (+ the collective) * How societal systems influence, sabotage, and destroy your creativity and ways to liberate yourself  * Your creative self as important part of you, especially in times of AI The episode is for every-body who feels held back and limited by her inner critic 🎨 AND it is for you if you want to bring more creativity, healing, joy, playfulness, and curiosity into your life.
