Podcasts about earth art

Creative Earth Coach and Artist Claire Takahashi explains the practice of creating a Morning Altar or Earth Art from natural objects. She guides her students through the process of creative sculptures with grass, rocks, leaves, seeds, and petals found in a wandering process. Claire believes it is essential to realign ourselves with nature to restore creativity and live more colorful lives. Morning altars are a tool to tap into your imagination and what you're feeling in the present moment. Using petals, the gifts of the Earth, to build something.  She refers to David Abrams b book, "Becoming Animal" in which he explains that we have lost our connection to this planet and have become isolated from nature. She advises listeners to engage in a morning practice of connecting with nature, whether through a brief walk, taking off our shoes and connecting with the Earth, or building a morning altar.  Podcast host Christopher Miller explains the importance of calming practice before entering the art studio. It's in a ritual that we align ourselves with a Greater Power. Claire is a self-taught artist who shares her watercolor experience and its fluid characteristics. She often incorporates natural objects in her work and is attracted to the unpredictable nature of watercolors. Chris and Claire share their experiences with different paper and board mediums, including the difference between hot and cold press paper.  They advise the listener to be present and notice the difference in art materials. She shares her process for listening, which includes wandering in nature and noticing what is speaking to you, pausing in place, and then letting the site wander around you. Ask yourself, how is she (nature) smelling, tasting, and speaking? Next time you drive around, lower your windows, smell the air, and be more present. She cautions, "Nature isn't always comfortable, but nature is honest." Claire Takahashi is a Creative Earth Coach, meditative guide, and artist of paint, petals, and words. She is certified as a Wayfinder Coach and a Morning Altar Teacher.  Through her 1:1 coaching, creative workshops and Earth art guidance, Claire helps other humxns to reconnect with the Earth in their bones, uncage their inner creatures, and live with more colorful and restorative creativity.  Claire is also the host of The Mindful Creature podcast, guided meditations for reconnecting with our creature cousins and calming our inner landscape. Besides her coaching and workshops, she is working on her first poetry collection and the second season of The Mindful Creature. Claire lives in the Pacific Northwest on Coast Salish lands, and most days, you can find her spattered with soil, paint, fur, or all three! You can find out more about Claire or join her monthly creative creature newsletter at www.clairetakahashi.com or find her on Instagram @claire.takahashi

Listen to hear how Tracy has transformed personal trauma to help others. How she is using art for healing, for connection and to raise awareness about social justice issues to affect change.   Tracy Ferron is the Founder and Executive Director of Life on Earth Art, a California-based non-profit organization working to heal trauma and division in our society by fusing community art-making, art therapy, and activism with touring large-scale art experiences.  LOEA offers transformative healing work to schools, social service organizations, public and correctional institutions, partnering with other non-profits. Ferron's work illuminates social injustices which beg for awareness, compassion and action.  Her large winged heart artworks have graced protests for incarcerated rights at San Quentin Prison and the Women's March in Sacramento, CA.  Her museum installations have explored medical experimentation (2018), the murder of global activists (2019), and community artmaking celebrating loved ones lost for Día de los Muertos (2021). Tracy conceived of and produced Unbound (2021-22), an 80-foot community made sculpture of hundreds of paper mâché winged hearts flying free from a cage in an innovative year-long partnership with 70 therapists at one of California's largest psychiatric facilities. This project brought art-making engagement to over 500 psychiatric patients, 200 staff and 800 community participants–creating a sense of belonging and uplift.  Unbound was recognized with a first place award for Arts for Innovation by the National Organization for Arts in Health in November 2022. Tracy received her Master's Degree in Engaged Humanities at Pacifica Graduate Institute. She has presented at Burning Man (2014), the Jungian Society for Scholarly Studies (2017), Google Headquarters (2018), the Northern California Art Therapy Association (2020) and Pacifica Graduate Institute (2021). For more information, see https://lifeonearthart.org or contact Tracy at tracy@lifeonearthart.org. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

During this episode of Why Change? co-hosts Madeleine and Jeff discuss exciting upcoming projects and start thinking big about impact. Madeleine shares her interview with Carrie Ziegler, a community-engaged artist focused on youth and environmental issues. Madeleine and Jeff discuss Carrie's impact, youth ownership of creative work, and the ripple effects of community-engaged creative projects led by young people. In this episode you'll learn: About context-specific listening; How youth ownership of co-created visions deepens impact; and How large-scale arts projects lead to greater ripple effects of community engagement and connection. Check out some of the things mentioned during this podcast, including: Carrie Ziegler's Earth Art website The International Teaching Artist Conference 6 Scaling by Depth by Denise Montgomery Teaching Artistry for Social Impact course ABOUT CARRIE ZIEGLER: Carrie Ziegler facilitates powerful collaborative art projects that catalyze real environmental and social change. Recently, one of her collaborative art in action projects contributed to the passing of the Thurston Climate Mitigation Plan AND a resolution stating we are in a Climate Emergency. She has worked with many organizations and people who are struggling with apathy and lack of hope in light of all of the environmental injustices in the world. When they create art around these issues, collaboratively with other people, they are rocketed out of apathy and into action. This led Carrie to truly understand the transformative power of art, and the power of creating something together that is much bigger than any one of us can do on our own.

This is a recording of the Art Workshop as presented on Youtube. This episode is referring to specific imagery and thus is not readily beneficial to listen to for a podcast. You can still listen to it for the affirmations and the first 45 minutes of the workshop. Welcome To The Art Magic Workshop. Over the last two years I have undegone a huge journey inextricably linked between spirituality and art. One day after a quantum jump I awoke as an artist, with different memories and desires. I felt an overwhelming urge to create in any way i could. As I learned to paint with my wife I began to feel the presence of the creator, joining us in our creations. After much research and experimentation I was inspired to try Art Magic, after spending long hours mixing paint I found I could charge the paint with my light and put intentions into it.  As I did amazing things began to happen with these painting. I coded real intentions into this art and it began to have an amplifying magical effect unlike anything I had ever experience. Soon I was giving this art to my friends as a means to help change their reality. One to help a friend find love and another for a friend struggling to get a job. You can do all of this and more. In this workshop I will discussThe history of art as magicThe power and history of sigils and hypersigils.How to create sigils using artMy art journeyDifferent painting mediumsUsing Grabovoi and quantum healing codes, what they are, how they work, and how to learn more about them.Flow painting do's and dont'sFinally I will share the different art sigils, giving you access to the concentrated energies I created using this process. You can create your own art magic. My goal is to show you how to do this to empower your manifestations to help you find wealth, health, love, and to ascend to higher levels of consciousness through these images. Art can be used as a powerful service to transform the emotions and consciousness for those around you. You are an artist, you are the creator, this links you to your divine origins. Welcome to the Birth Of New Earth Art.  You can buy All of the art mentioned in this episode is available here  - https://www.newearth.art/ The New Earth Activation trainings - Immerse yourself in 12 hours of content focused on the new earth with channelings, meditations, advanced training and access to the new earth https://realityrevolutioncon.com/newearth Alternate Universe Reality Activation  get full access to new meditations, new lectures, recordings from the reality con and the 90 day AURA meditation schedulehttps://realityrevolutionlive.com/aura45338118 BUY MY BOOK! https://www.amazon.com/Reality-Revolution-Mind-Blowing-Movement-Hack/dp/154450618X/ Listen to my book on audible https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Reality-Revolution-Audiobook/B087LV1R5V Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/The-Reality-Revolution-Podcast-Hosted-By-Brian-Scott-102555575116999 Join our Facebook group The Reality Revolution https://www.facebook.com/groups/523814491927119 For all episodes of the Reality Revolution – https://www.therealityrevolution.com Follow Us on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/TheRealityRevolution/ Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/the_reality_revolution/ Follow me on Twitter https://twitter.com/mediaprime Follow me on MeWe https://mewe.com/i/brianscott71 Music By Mettaversenocturne432hz relaxing ambient musicTibetan Singing Bowls852hz crown chakrawhen all else fadeslight quotient639hz heart chakragolden lotussolsticelove becomes usinner worldsawakening from mayastar worldsgleam throughthe heart of true beingalways now 

Marcellus, the in-house artist at the Albright Center SRI Sunbury, on his music, food and fun event to introduce an art method (called Earth Art) and his goal of developing it into a program that starts in Sunbury and expands globally. They are planning an event next weekend (6/18) on the street outside the Albright Center. We'll talk about the new art, opportunities for everyone to participate and his vision of ‘Earth Art' spreading from Sunbury.

In this episode of Object Matters host Dr Craig Barker is joined by art historian and author Nicholas Croggon. They speak on the Power Institute, the Power Collection and the Light and Darkness exhibition. Nick discusses a work in the Power Collection by American artist Alan Sonfist. Sonfist is a US based artist most often associated with the birth of the Land or Earth Art movement. Crystalline enclosure was created in 1970, early in Sonfist's career. The work features a glass globe with a mineral compound inside. As the air around it heats up, the compound sublimes into a gas eventually crystallising on the curved walls of the globe. When the crystal lattice increases its density, parts of the compound drop back down to pile again in the neck, whereupon the cycle begins again. We are invited by Sonfist to observe a process. Nick explains how the work in Sydney was part of Sonfist's broader project of making visible our entanglement in the processes of the natural world. Nick also explores his interest in the language of visual culture and its relationship with human psychology through the work in the Chau Chak Wing Museum.   Guest: Nick Croggon is Events and Programs Officer at The Power Institute. He is an art historian, editor and doctoral researcher. He is co-founder of Discipline journal and a Sydney edition of Memo Review.     Host: Dr Craig Barker, Head of Public Engagement, Chau Chak Wing Museum and Director, Paphos Theatre Archaeological Excavations.

An introduction into working with archetypal pictures Michael and the Dragon artistically in contemplations and meditative way. Aspects of Michael and Dragon nature.

Another queer brother from abroad, Day is internationally known for his work using Morning Altars to inspire thousands around the world to renew their relationship to nature, creativity and impermanence through ritual and the practice of Earth art. Diving into some of the threads of our cultural imagination keeping us at odds with our own wholeness, Day and I explore themes of impermanence, queering masculinity and non-binary ways of being in lived relationality with uncertainty and mystery. In a time exposing rigid patterns of being-together, we dance with the wisdom of queerness in illuminating what it might mean to navigate change and liminality with openness and curiousity. Join us for a playful exploration of how Earth Art, practices of impermanence and “queering" might support us in our restoration of wholeness. --Show-notes and links hereConnect with me on InstagramConnect with me on FacebookMusic by RhoneSupport the show (https://aljeffery.com/podcast/)

Artist duo Mary O'Brien & Daniel McCormick use "land as the palette" for the work they do. In this episode, the two explain their efforts to use land art as a restorative medium, bringing much needed life and balance back to struggling ecosystems. As we continue our exploration into "environmental art," O'Brien and McCormick explain why they refer to their work as "restorative art" rather than "eco-art," how they became involved in the land art movement, and who they bring into their artistic efforts to successfully rebuild the habitats they're involved with.-About Watershed Sculpture-The Art Practice of Daniel McCormick & Mary O’BrienDaniel McCormick and Mary O’Brien collaborate on ecological art installations that have remedial qualities. Working in both urban and agricultural watersheds and riparian corridors, McCormick and O’Brien respond to environmental issues by moving away from an anthropocentric view of nature to create sculptures that work with natural systems. Their work is often ephemeral and temporal. When their interventions are completed and a restoration cycle is established, they intend to leave no evidence of a hand made object. For over 25 years, they have been using art to restore and affect a positive ecological balance in damaged environments.McCormick & O’Brien both hold degrees from University of California, Berkeley. Daniel McCormick's experience as a multi-disciplinary artist in the fields of sculptural installation and environmental design brings both a public art and ecological trajectory to their work. Mary O'Brien is a sculptor and writer and initiates the community engagement plans enlisting the support of art organizations and government agencies.Their collaborations reflect the artists’ concerns for the environment and community, but also their belief that art has a responsibility to do more than witness or document cultural changes. Their installation works can be found in watersheds across the United States.

Conceptual artist Antti Laitinen, uses natural elements and the environment he inhabits in rural Finland to create unexpected interruptions, installations, performances, and stunning photography. Although he and his work have been referred to as "environmental" due to his use of the Earth as his primary medium, Laitinen explains that these terms aren't at the forefront of his creations. In this episode, we speak with Antti about his process and the reception of his pieces, why he chooses to use natural elements as his primary tools for creation, and what he thinks of "environmental art."

Continuing our exploration into the umbrella of environmental art, in this episode Andrew speaks with artist, Aviva Rahmani, who creates public, site-specific art to fight off land developers. Focusing on her series, Blued Trees Symphony, Aviva explains how her approach incorporates community, creativity and legal theory to protect natural landscapes. She also touches upon her belief of our community being in a time of "eco-suicide," and where she identifies her art in the umbrella of "environmental art."-About Blued Trees Symphony- The Blued Trees Symphony is an ongoing, site-specific land art project wherein Aviva Rahmani and collaborators convert threatened lands into art pieces. The hope is that by having them protected by the Visual Artists Rights Act (VARA), Aviva can the prevent the use of eminent domain to seize lands for pipeline construction where the artworks are situated.The first iteration of Blued Trees Symphony emerged on, June 21, 2015 in Peekskill, New York. It is now installed over many miles of proposed pipeline expansions, and each 1/3 measure of those miles has been copyrighted for protection. Visually, Blued Trees Symphony presents stretches of trees painted with musical movements using an environmentally friendly ultramarine pigment. Together, these movements form a score which can be read and performed.Learn more about Blued Trees Symphony here-About Aviva Rahmani-Aviva Rahmani began her career as a performance artist, founding and directing the American Ritual Theatre (1968-1971), performing throughout California. She graduated from California Institute of the Arts and received a PhD from Plymouth University, UK, Rahmani has presented workshops on her theoretical approach to environmental restoration and her transdisciplinary work has been exhibited internationally including in The Independent Museum of Contemporary Art (IMCA), Cyprus with the National Centres of Contemporary Art (NCCA), Ekaterinburg and Moscow, Russian Federation, KRICT, Daejeon, Korea, the Hudson River Museum, Yonkers, NY, the Contemporary Art Center, Cincinnati, OH, and the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, Boulder, CO. Her work has been discussed and covered in books, essays, and in art magazines such as Art in America, Art News, The Huffington Post and Leonardo. Rahmani’s video documentation Gulf to Gulf sessionshave been viewed on line from over eighty-five countries. “Trigger Points/ Tipping Points,” a precursor to Gulf to Gulf, premiered at the 2007 Venice Biennale. In 2002, her pioneering community action project, Blue Rocks, helped restore degraded wetlands on Vinalhaven Island, Maine a USDA investment of over $500,000. The Blued Trees Symphony (2015 - present) has received numerous awards and been extensively written about and exhibited internationally. A Mock Trial is scheduled for the project at the Cardozo Law School, NYC on April 25, 2018.Learn more here

With Earth Day celebrations just around the corner, for the month of April, we will be dipping our toes into the vast spectrum of Environmental Art. SOTA host, Andrew Herman, returns to lead fascinating conversations with a 4 different artists, each using and/or collaborating with the environment in a variety of ways. Primarily, we will be looking at eco art, land art, earth art, and how each artist approaches and considers the implications of their work both as an art form and, potentially, as an act of activism. Join us in this pre-episode kick-off to learn more about the SOTA team's thoughts on where the month will take us and what we hope to learn along the way.

This week we talk about the truth of flat earth an relationship between art.

Henry David Thoreau once said the world is a canvas to our imagination. For Day Schildkret, the world, canvas and imagination become one. Day specializes in making nature altars and Earth Art. What you might see as sticks and leaves, he sees as the building blocks to one of his incredible morning altars. Today, we talk to Day about how his art can bring you closer to Mother Earth and awaken your imagination in all sorts of new ways.

Hello listeners! How are you? Shana here... Theresa is calling in from the road, she's on her way to Joshua Tree in California for a (((gong)))) retreat!! Amazing right? When we were discussing what to talk about today on our show, I mentioned the NY Times podcast "The Daily", they ran an interview with high schoolers in NYC talking about their take on the Kavanaugh decision it's called , "Who Is Believed and Who is Blamed". . Ultimately we wanted to just give a shout out to women who maybe experiencing trauma and fear because of the senates confirmation of judge Kavanaugh. Our first guest, Khadijah Ward, sat down with Theresa a few weeks ago for this special interview. Khadijah comes from a mixed racial family long before society was accepting of that type of love. Her family moved from the Bronx to "the country" in the late 1950's which set the foundation for her feeling most at home in mother nature. Khadijah's deep connection to the earth is also reflected in her appreciation for all of the earth's creations, preferring diversity over homogeneity, or as Bruce Lipton describes, it takes all colors of the rainbow to create light. Khadijah now works at FAMILY of Woodstock as the program administrator for EVOLVE, a batterer's intervention program. To keep life balanced and stress at bay, she's plays in a shekere group called the Good Gourd and makes sure to get in her well deserved vacation time. She herself is one of the bright lights of the Kingston community, and we are grateful to have her as a guest. Our second guest is designer and artist Joan Ffolliot of Ffolliot Design here in the Hudson Valley. Shana met her through her house painting work, she is a distributor of C2 paint and also a colorist and designer for some of Shana's clientele. RISD graduate and educator at Woodstock School of Art, color consultant and cabinet maker, she has had a lot of experience in transforming environments and homes all over the Hudson Valley. We dove into her arts education back ground and importance of understanding what you're trying to convey, what are you wanting others to experience, and are you 'hitting your mark' or not. In working this way she really is able to intimately help her clients understand their home or project as art, as a piece of work that they are collaborating in. We also talked about setting boundaries with clients, and experiencing self-worth even in a work dynamic that can set clients and workers in an awkward power dynamic instead of equals working on a project together. Go Team! Self care! Yes... oh yess... that thing we try and fit in every damn day. Joan stayed with us for the conversation! Theresa chimed in about the idea that it IS self care to communicate your needs, to stand up for yourself, to say no, to move on if needed. YES YES YES! Today's show was engineered by Manuel Blas of Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org. We heard music from Shana Falana, http://www.shanafalana.com/, and audio from the film, She's Beautiful When She's Angry, http://www.shesbeautifulwhenshesangry.com ** Please: SUBSCRIBE to our pod and leave a REVIEW wherever you are listening, it helps other users FIND US :) Follow Us: INSTAGRAM * https://www.instagram.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast/ FACEBOOK * https://www.facebook.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast TWITTER * https://twitter.com/wantwhatshehas

Day Schildkret is known internationally for Morning Altars and has inspired thousands of people of all ages from all over the world to forage, build and be awed with Earth Art. Day is igniting an international movement by sharing the art, teachings and spirit of Morning Altars as a tangible spiritual practice that renews and redeems our relationship to wonder, creativity, nature connection, generosity, and impermanence. "In today’s overly virtual landscape, I want my viewers to be enchanted by each altar's capacity to awaken their imagination, their awe, their nuanced eye and deep love and connection with the magic and mystery of our earth. I long to have my audiences linger on that ephemeral edge where death and rebirth bring forth and ancient remembering and a new impermanent beauty." His book "Morning Altars" will be released nationally in October, 2018. https://www.morningaltars.com/ eastforest.org/podcast

My students don’t remember Vietnam. That’s hard to believe, for someone born in 1968. But it’s true, nonetheless. High school history courses rarely make it past World War Two. The Cold War and the Berlin Wall are mysteries. And Vietnam, unless someone in their family fought there, is just a country. But most, if not all, of my students have heard of the Vietnam Memorial. They may not know what or who it commemorates. But they’ve seen it on class trips, or in textbooks. And they universally praise its power and simplicity. So, unless you’re my age, it’s hard to imagine the bitterness and divisions which greeted Maya Lin’s memorial. In his new book A Rift in the Earth: Art, Memory and the Fight for a Vietnam War Memorial (Arcade Publishing, 2017), James Reston, Jr. retells this story in a way that brings it alive again. Reston brings a journalist’s eye for character and narrative to the book. Several authors have told this tale, but Reston is by far the best at bringing the story to life. Less interested in putting this memorial into the broader context of memorialization in the 1970s, he instead concentrates on retelling the story and on explaining to a modern audience why it matters. And, when you’ve finished the narrative heart of the book, you suddenly learn why the story seems so personal and important to Reston. Kelly McFall is Professor of History and Director of the Honors Program at Newman University. He’s the author of four modules in the Reacting to the Pastseries, including The Needs of Others: Human Rights, International Organizations and Intervention in Rwanda,1994.

My students don’t remember Vietnam. That’s hard to believe, for someone born in 1968. But it’s true, nonetheless. High school history courses rarely make it past World War Two. The Cold War and the Berlin Wall are mysteries. And Vietnam, unless someone in their family fought there, is just a country. But most, if not all, of my students have heard of the Vietnam Memorial. They may not know what or who it commemorates. But they’ve seen it on class trips, or in textbooks. And they universally praise its power and simplicity. So, unless you’re my age, it’s hard to imagine the bitterness and divisions which greeted Maya Lin’s memorial. In his new book A Rift in the Earth: Art, Memory and the Fight for a Vietnam War Memorial (Arcade Publishing, 2017), James Reston, Jr. retells this story in a way that brings it alive again. Reston brings a journalist’s eye for character and narrative to the book. Several authors have told this tale, but Reston is by far the best at bringing the story to life. Less interested in putting this memorial into the broader context of memorialization in the 1970s, he instead concentrates on retelling the story and on explaining to a modern audience why it matters.

In this podcast, we meet organizers and participants in the ambitious Bainbridge Island arts community project called "Earth Art Bainbridge." They talk with BCB host Reed Price about their goals and plans and the many opportunities for community members to join in. Earth Art Bainbridge is the brainchild of local activist, computer scientist, and author Beth Robson. She hopes that people will start thinking now about how to explore their response to our changing climate using art – whether the medium is music, theater, poetry, photography, painting or performance. Barbara Sacerdote, the Executive Director of Arts & Humanities Bainbridge says her organization is fully supportive, saying “if any community can do this, Bainbridge Island can.” Also part of this discussion are: Kathleen Thorne of Bainbridge Performing Arts and Island Theater; both groups have plans to support the project; Leslie Schneider of OfficeXpats, who will be organizing a speed-lecture show, “Ignite Bainbridge,” as part of Earth Art Bainbridge; Joel Sackett, accomplished photographer, who is the project’s lead artist; and Janet Knox, poet and scientist, who is among the project’s early announced participants. For more information and to indicate your possible interest in participating, visit the Earth Art Bainbridge website. Or, contact the organizers through their website. This project is sponsored and supported by: Sustainable Bainbridge, Arts & Humanities Bainbridge, Artopia Creative, OfficeXpats, Island Theater, Bainbridge Performing Arts, Ignite Bainbridge, Bainbridge Island Metro Park & Recreation District, Bainbridge Public Library, the Bloedel Reserve, and the Bainbridge Community Foundation.
