Ep # 79: Crashing Weddings and Creating Art: Conversations with Ayana Major Bey

Ep. 188 (Part 2 of 2) | Dr. Sally Adnams Jones has pioneered the field of art therapy as an agent of transformation and healing, choosing to work particularly with people living with no economic infrastructure: refugees, and victims of natural disasters, genocide, war, pandemics, and more. What Sally has found is that creating art within a community works miracles for the dispossessed and traumatized, in that it provides an embodied, practical method of engendering feelings of pride, a sense of belonging, finding one's voice, and perceiving the future as something one can affect and shape. In fact, this work is applicable to everyone everywhere—it is in accessing our creativity that we come to ask, “How do we start to build the world we need?” An Integral Taoist, Sally shares her perspective on the yin and yang of creativity, explaining that ultimately, creativity is emergence working through the human body.At the heart of Integral Taoism is an understanding that the nature of emergence itself is to become aware of your polarity and integrate it. The more you do that, the more creative you become. The discussion transitions from the dance of polarity in creativity to how the polarities of yin and yang are playing out in politics today. Sally is a Canadian therapist and exceptionally well informed about politics—here we gain a perspective on current U.S. – Canadian relations and world politics that is revelatory.

As it's Saturday, you may be expecting our host Ian Truscott to be sipping a cocktail and picking the brains of Robert Rose in the Rose & Rockstar, our virtual bar. However, an overrunning appointment means Robert didn't make it to the bar, so Ian goes solo. For this last-minute solo, Ian picks a topic he recently shared in a webinar for Marketing Profs - “The ART of Content Marketing” - where he shares the role content marketing plays in creating Awareness, Revenue, and Trust.  The main points Ian makes this week: Marketing should focus on creating ART, not just content. Content marketing targets the 'dark funnel' of potential buyers. Building brand trust is crucial for long-term marketing success. Content should be useful and address the needs of the audience. Content should be launched and marketed like a product. Regular audits of content strategy are necessary for effectiveness.

In many cultures, marriage is seen as a rite of passage, a transition from individual life to a shared existence. It is a celebration of love and unity, where two people vow to support and uplift each other. This union is often compared to a temple, a sacred space where love is nurtured and protected. The symbolism of marriage extends beyond the couple, encompassing family, community, and even spirituality. It is a testament to the power of love to transcend boundaries and bring people together. Marriage is not without its challenges, but it is these very challenges that strengthen the bond between partners. Through communication, compromise, and understanding, couples learn to navigate life's ups and downs together. The journey of marriage is a continuous process of growth and discovery, where partners learn to appreciate each other's strengths and weaknesses. It is a journey that ultimately leads to a deeper understanding of oneself and one's partner.

Today is a first for Why Isn't Everyone Doing This? as we welcome our first-ever repeat guest, Blu! Blu is a medicine woman, an activation artist, and one of the most intuitive, prayer-filled humans alive. Emily and Blu offer a glimpse into their recent journey to Egypt, and Blu shares how creating art saved her in so many different ways. She reveals why she paused her super successful podcast to create art instead and talks about the profundity of the divine feminine. During their conversation, Blu also shares a story that she has never shared anywhere else, and it is a heart opener (cue the tears!). Plus, you might want to sit down for a pivotal 5-minute segment that is essential listening for every soul on this planet. Please enjoy this episode, Why Isn't Everyone Creating Art to Connect to Source? with Blu, and share it with a friend who could use some inspiration to lead with creation. === Ready to start a meditation practice you LOVE?

She is the co-founder of Florescence, a modern mystery school which connects a global community of women in sisterhood through online sharing circles & in-person events. Raised in a British boarding school and trained in the Royal Air Force, community, teamwork & sisterhood are an integral part of Blu's makeup & remain at the center of her life today. She is re-writing the old, hierarchical leadership model & leads a team of sovereign, empowered women who collaborate as equals in sisterhood. The sudden loss of a significant percentage of her hearing in her mid-twenties, presented Blu (then Charlotte Victoria) with a choice point of falling victim to circumstance or exploring it thru a lens of trust, curiosity & even love: what was deafness here to teach her? She triumphantly chose the latter, prompting her journey of empowerment, radical self-reclamation & becoming Blu (an acronym for beauty, love & unity). This process has taken her into the realm of shamanic healing, plant medicine & re-negotiating her relationship to fear. The “why” which fuels her work is a soul-mission to set herself free & inspire others to do the same. Her playful spirit makes deep healing, fun, living by the ethos "it's the artist's responsibility to make the revolution irresistible”. https://www.bluofearth.com/ https://www.instagram.com/bluofearth/ https://www.instagram.com/dejablupodcast/
