About this listen

Making art—giving form to the images that arise in our mind's eye, our dreams, and our everyday lives—is a form of spiritual practice through which knowledge of ourselves can ripen into wisdom. This book offers encouragement for everyone to explore art making in this spirit of self-discovery—plus practical instructions on material, methods, and activities such as ways to:

• Discover a personal myth or story

• Recognize patterns and themes in one's life

• Identify and release painful memories

• Combine journaling and image making

• Practice the ancient skill of active imagination

• Connect with others through sharing one's art works

Interwoven with this guidance is the intimate story of the author's own journey as a student, art therapist, teacher, wife, mother, and artist—and, most of all, as a woman who discovered a profound and healing connection with her soul through making art.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

not very engaging

I see the author’s intent, but much of the content of this book feels obvious to me, and the writing is pretty boring. She often speaks in generalities and truisms, many of which do not apply or are different than the experiences of others. Such writing feels stifling, not interesting.
