Hello artists! I'm exploring the Non-alcoholic Spirits space in interest of building a Dry Bar, performance space of course. Thoughts? Expect more of this to come...in addition to all my other goodies!

Break free by sitting down when the train is in motion.
We are in times of upheaval and unrest, but staying active and engaged doesn't have to burn you out. How do you find balance during these liminal times of systemic change? https://conta.cc/3QqoAej

Align, Activate, & Autonomize. Wallowing is so pre-pandemic. Are you fighting to take the wheel? Greetings! An artist's journey takes a lot of heart. So when the external world gets chaotic, what are

How old is your voice?

Every part of the body ages, including the vocal cords. But there are some things you can do to reduce the impact on your voice.

Pursuing your creative passion is a long-term commitment. Artists will fight so hard to walk that path, they damage themselves and everything around them. On the flip side, a staggering number of artists trade-in the weary pursuit of a dream for stability.

In this week's Conversation, we're talking about how the plight of the Titanic Submersible's business decisions apply to artist development.

This would have been a great article for our Clubhouse Conversation this week on sovereignty. This is a very comprehensive breakdown of AI art.

Who owns AI art? Is it the person who put in the prompt? What about the developer of the AI program? Does the artist whose work trained the AI program get any

There is a common misperception among artists who are ripe for exploitation. It's an illusion of the ego that we must fight for what is ours. Stepping into your sovereignty is really a homecoming. Practice decision-making from that place of sovereignty, and you are free.

This Sunday on Clubhouse we're talking about Netflix's "Queen Cleopatra" and finding balance between Acquiring vs. Release.

Descartes said:
“I know that I exist; the question is,
What is this ‘I’ that ‘I’ know?”

But maybe the question is "Who's asking?"

So much art is created in the name of love.
We can write about it, draw about it, and even act it out.
But to quote just about any emo song about love,
"I can dish it out, but I can't take it."

Do you notice that you run from the things you want most?
Sure there are lots of good reasons, caveats, and justifications.
Artist Development requires a lot of Love.

In this week's Conversation, we're riffing on the recent by exploring how, why, and when to love ourselves. https://conta.cc/3Mjct00

News, social media, and even commercial entertainment - does your time still belong to you? Because when you weren't looking, attention became a commodity and time, a currency.

In this week's Conversation, we're exploring where our consciousness is aligned, and how to reach expanded states. Psychedelics may have popularized the concept, but oh the wonders of breathwork, attention as a tool, and even daydreaming!

Ohmy!

The experts say multitasking does more harm than good. Yet some artists can function quite efficiently while multitasking. If the other side of multitasking is laser-focused acumen, we can certainly see the effects of that playing out in the world's most visible corporate entrepreneurs.

So where is the balance?

The linear narratives around artist development is a byproduct of modernity. It shapes how we approach the arts, whether as the observer or as the observed themselves. But artist development is more journey than arrival. So...maybe time is relative.

We can find balance in the Tao (or middle path) of time. So this week's playlist, 12, honors the Tao of the artist development journey: Beginning vs. Arrival

The artistic channel for creativity has inspired many an artist. But trying to capture that flow by using words alone feels inherently limiting. That's why some artists struggle with deadlines and structure. Perhaps some conceptions are best left undefined.

All things in balance. 🙏🏽

In this week's Conversation on Clubhouse, we're exploring how to bridge the divide between the ego's rules of engagement (our cultural reactions) and an open channel of compassion. Lurking within this balance is sustainable creativity. https://conta.cc/3Maypeb
