Art Church

Art Church is a meditation podcast for artists and creatives designed to help you build a small but mighty ritual around preparing to enter your studio, whether that might be a writing desk or easel in the corner of your living room, a tiny sketchbook you carry around in your pocket, or an entire kitchen, workshop, or dance hall. In this first season, we'll be calling your creative self home, exploring and tending your internal creative spaces, and unlocking your creative radiance in bite-sized weekly meditations you can listen to before you create.  Season One episodes will be released each Wednesday over the summer starting late June 2021. Find us wherever you listen to podcasts to subscribe and follow along on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/art.church.pod/ (@art.church.pod)  I'm your host, Angela Norman. I've been building a relationship with the mystery as a process artist and intuitive for more than two decades.   You can learn more about me and ways to connect with me at https://www.innerstella.com/ (interstellar.com) or follow what I'm up to in the studio on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/taoiarts/ (@TAOIarts)

Many creatives say to me… I can't meditate. When this happens, I ask them to say more. There are so many ways to meditate… moving meditations, still meditations, visualizations, breath work, mindfulness, and just being in the zone while you're creating! Meditation is time that you set aside to bring your awareness to your center, ground, and make contact with your creative source. In each episode of Art Church you'll have an opportunity to do just that in bite-sized 8-10 minute meditations. Many of which can be done as either a still or moving meditation to fit your style. Art Church is brought to you by TAOI Arts and Innerstella. I'm Angela Norman.

Over the next few episodes, we're going to explore ways to encourage your creative self… creative spirit… creative energy, whichever term resonates most for you, to stay with you more throughout the day.

This edge helps you more easily discern between what is yours and what is not. AND it helps you set and hold boundaries around your space and time in your studio. This is also a great exercise for those of you who like to create or write in public spaces. Art Church is brought to you by TAOI Arts and Innerstella. I'm Angela Norman.
