Jane Seaton ArtLife Awakening Original Creativity

Jane and Ryan discuss the Art Life and the upcoming workshop at Echo Dharma in October 2024. Jane shares how the name Art Life came to her and what it means to her. She explains that Art Life is about bringing creativity into all aspects of our lives and recognizing that art is intrinsic to all of us. The workshop aims to guide people into their creativity by helping them relax, play, and let go of inhibitions. Jane emphasizes the importance of unlearning and remembering our innate creativity. The workshop also focuses on building community and creating together as a way to heal and transform our lives and the world. The conversation explores the integration of experiences and the importance of living differently. It emphasizes the need to maintain the components of a transformative experience and stimulate emotional responses for change.  The concept of guiding rather than teaching is highlighted, focusing on supporting individuals to recall and reignite their own creativity. The conversation concludes with the importance of never giving up, exploring life, and tapping into curiosity, wonder, and creativity.
