How can I get the prompts each week and the Saturday stroll. I can’t afford to upgrade. I’m 74 and funds are limited but I still paint and I want to be as much a part of your journey as possible- Sherri
I've only recently come to unpack and understand my childhood trauma experience and just how much my anxiety has governed my life since childhood. Ten years ago, I picked up a paintbrush again for the first time since I was a child, I reconnected with nature in ways that have not only given me a sense of childhood wonder, enchantment and awe but have also helped me calm my nervous system. I now have a daily ritualized outdoor sketchbook and painting practice that focuses on nature so that my art embodies this connection. I've come to notice that this is my safe space where I feel a sense of calm and, dare I say, hope. Thank you for your exploration of wonder and creative whimsy. I know I'm not the only one who needs its medicine.
This is just the post I needed. Joy is a form of resistance. I love that your post reminds us that whimsy signals our brain that we are safe. In a time that feels so uncertain and harried, pausing for joy anytime there’s an opportunity is more important than ever. Thank you for what you are doing.
