Podcast appearances and mentions of amanda giacomini

If you've ever come across a colossal mural featuring countless Buddhas lined up side-by-side, you might have witnessed Amanda Giacomini's renowned "10,000 Buddhas" masterpiece. Amanda has graced the world with the beauty of this artwork. Her 10,000 Buddhas project was inspired by a pilgrimage to the Ajanta caves in India, where she encountered a two-thousand-year-old mural depicting a thousand Buddhas meditating together. In this memory lane episode, she discussed her inspiration, the significance of the Buddha's image to her, overcoming creative setbacks, her artistic process, decades of yoga practice, and her collaborations with her husband, MC Yogi (on last week's episode).

Tune in for soul story time! This episode takes you on a journey of the Buddha... Amanda Giacomini aka 10,000 Buddhas is an artist, yoga teacher and storyteller. Her 10,000 Buddhas project was inspired by a pilgrimage to the Ajanta caves in India where she saw a two thousand year old mural of a thousand Buddhas meditating together. This experience sparked an awakening, which led her on a mission to paint 10,000 Buddhas, spreading a message of kindness, compassion, and connection with her art. Over the course of a decade, Amanda reached and surpassed her goal, making 10,000 Buddhas a highly sought after, worldwide art project, including large scale public murals, fine art paintings, works on paper, and textiles. Her street art can be found across the United States from Washington DC, Miami, Palm Beach and Asheville, North Carolina to Seattle, San Diego, and Hollywood, CA. She has also painted murals in Panama, Costa Rica, Germany and Japan. As a teacher, Amanda has taught yoga to tens of thousands of people all over the world; from prestigious art museums and yoga festivals, to The White House and the Forbidden City in China. She is the co-founder of Point Reyes Yoga, a studio she and her husband, MC YOGI, started in 2001. Amanda has been teaching yoga for 20 years, practicing for over 25 and meditating for 30. Her approach to teaching is gentle and wise, one of her greatest joys is sharing the healing benefits of yin yoga while interweaving mythic stories from the Buddhist and yoga traditions. Amanda lives in Northern California with her husband MC YOGI and continues to paint Buddhas.

Today's guests are hip-hop artist MC Yogi and the creator of the 10000 Buddhas project, Amanda Giacomini. MC and Amanda met at a teacher training at It’s Yoga in San Francisco back in 2000 and have been spent the past 20 years, spreading their love of yoga to the masses through their music and art, but also more intimately, in their Point Reyes studio they began as a young couple and still regularly teach today. In this episode, MC and Amanda talk about their relationship with the practice, their teachers (Larry Schultz and Dorothy Divack), and especially - each other. Because while MC may claim - love at first sight - their story is no mythical fairy tale. It’s intentional. A conscious choice to align their lives - together.

One of the best parts of having this podcast is who I am fortunate to cross paths with, and the ongoing surprise of who reaches out to me. Some of you may remember when I was falling out of my chair (or rather, the closet that doubles as podcasting studio) to interview one of my favorite musicians, Trevor Hall. Well, one of the best side outcomes was getting to know his team better, Tim and Isabelle at N3W LEVEL Management. We met in-person for the first time earlier this summer, and the hours flew by! Instant kindred spirits and friends for life :) So I was every bit as excited when they mentioned another one of their artists' ambitious projects: Amanda Giacomini's mission to paint 10,000 Buddhas around the world. Amanda has been teaching yoga for over 25 years, and she’s been an artist for almost the same amount of time. Ten Thousand Buddhas is her worldwide, highly sought after art project—including large scale murals and fine art paintings—that she completed last year after five years of steadily working toward her goal. In this conversation we dive into what she learned, how it inspired her to break out of her typical shell (and artist studio), and naturopathic practices that keep her sane while touring with her husband MC Yogi. 

Ten Thousand Buddhas by Amanda Giacomini is a world wide, highly sought after art project, including large scale murals & fine art paintings. She has been featured on National Geographic Channel, New York Magazine among many others. Amanda has painted murals in Wynwood District of Miami, Abbot Kinney, and across all the US, as well as Cambutal, Panama plus a mobile installation in 5 cities in Germany. She's a rad lady. 10000buddhas.com eastforest.org/podcast

Amanda says her most epic painting of the Buddhas is on a 3-story building in Washington. 10,000 Buddhas by Amanda Giacomini is a world wide, highly sought-after art project which includes large scale murals and fine art paintings. Amanda has been featured on the National Geographic Channel, New York Magazine, Yoga International, LA Yoga Mag and several other publications.

Amanda Giacomini has dedicated her life to uplifting people and creating more beauty in the world through yoga and art. From teaching yoga at the White House to presenting at some of the biggest yoga festivals, conferences and Asian Art museums in the world, Amanda infuses the ancient teachings with creativity and joy. Her journey in yoga began in 1994, and she continues to study with many great Indian and Western masters. In 2001, along with her husband, MC YOGI, she founded Yoga Toes Studio in Point Reyes, CA. She has been featured in Yoga International, Origins, Marin Magazine, Happiness + Wellbeing as well as appearing the cover of Yoga Journal and Mantra Magazine. As an artist, she created an award winning series of children’s books, called Mo's Nose, that feature her beloved rescued pit bull, Mo, as the main character. She has a catalog of paintings inspired by her yoga and spiritual practice. Currently she is working on a project to paint 10,000 Buddhas.  Full shownotes: http://yourcreativepush.com/10000buddhas In this episode, Amanda discusses: -The story of how her massive 10,000 Buddhas project started. -How committing to a large project helped to creatively anchor herself down and thus get to a flow state more easily. -How her painting is similar to rehearsing for a dance performance, where she doesn’t have to think about the movements after doing it so often. -The experience of completing her ten-thousandth Buddha. -Her practice of yoga and how it relates to her art. -How she has now developed (and embraced) a new identity of “10,000 Buddhas.” -How she avoided repetition by changing the scale, medium, and colors. -Her creative relationship with her husband, MC Yogi. -Some of the synchronistic things that have happened in her creative life. -How she used to start projects and never finish them, and her advice for people who might struggle with a similar experience. -How a creative journey is a cyclical one, with many ups and downs. Amanda's Final Push will remind you that your creativity is an integral part to you having a well-rounded life.   Quotes: “It started with a little seed of curiosity.” “I think there was something about committing to a big project and a big number that helped me get to that flow state.” “I had tears of joy that day that I made a commitment to the goal and I had kept it.” “That sense of curiosity is important to me as an artist.” Links mentioned: Book Tour / Events MC Yogi Youngman Brown on The Pawprint Podcast Connect with Amanda: Website / Facebook / Instagram On the next episode: Chrilz : Website / Instagram Join the discussion in the Facebook group!

Her work has appeared on murals, canvases, and prayer wheels in cities from Washington DC to Los Angeles to Panama.
