Ep 6: Today, I am joined by my dear friend and sister Kaleigh Smith for a rich conversation on creative liberation, retreats (...journeys!), and the healing power of our authentic expression - especially as women on a journey to reclaim our sovereignty and embodied power.
Kaleigh is an expressive arts therapist in training, and together we will be co-hosting the Vibrant Heârt Creative Liberation & Expressive Arts Retreat for women this coming November 2-8 in beautiful Costa Rica.
Together we explore:
Expression as a soulful, embodied practice, not just an artistic one
The universal human impulse to create - and how expression is actually our medicine
Using expression to give voice to our inner parts - from trauma to leadership
The necessity of slowness and softness in nurturing feminine creative energy
The contrast between cerebral living and somatic, soul-led creation
Different modalities of expression - cognitive, kinesthetic, sensory, symbolic - and how each can unlock deeper self-awareness.
Kaleigh's journey of finding Expressive Arts Therapy as a soulful modality for her service in the world
Kristen’s journey of “rewilding” through plant medicine, psychedelics, and life in Peru
Creativity beyond art: in relationships, rituals, home, and daily choices
The role of environment, nature, and cultural influence on creativity and embodiment
How overstimulation and digital overwhelm in our modern age hinder authentic expression - and what we can do about it
