@resilientcreativespodcast is a project that began to develop in my mind during the winter of 2019. I was at a new fork in the road with my creativity after having to backtrack and find rediscover my truth. Grief, concussion & doubt circled through my being. I had been in similar states in the past but something was different this time. My relationship with my practice was strong enough to feel a new sense of pleasure while riding through the waves of the decaying process. For the first time I knew I was in a temporary state. I sensed an unnamed process unfolding and I knew I wasn't alone in this process. I began to talk to others who had committed themselves to path of being an artist. Brilliant stories, ideas, inspiration and opportunities began to bubble 🔥 I was curious how I could share the richness of the insights that were being shared.. was this a course, a book, a painting, just a personal journey... 18 months later I am grateful where this curiosity thread has led 🍃 I invite you to join the conversation as it unfolds 🌈 @victoria_news did a nice article on the Victoria based Podcasts that are participating along side myself in @storyhive first podcast cohort ✌️ . . . . #podcasting #podcast #podcastersofinstagram #storytelling #storyteller #storycatching #artistmother #artpractice #artistsdate #artisans #art #creativityprevails #resilentcreatives #resilentcreativespodcast #heartseedscreative #chantalsolomon #yyjlocals #yyjentrepreneurs #podcaster #podcastlife #victoriaartisans #victoriabc #vancouverislandartist #vanisland #Vancouverisland #arttherapy #proccess #create #makersmovement #selfcare (at Victoria, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/COwFTi6NYiM/?igshid=4djvfx770wg3

My first memory of an encounter with a plant is at age 5. I was playing with my rabbit in our backyard. I got on my hands & knees making my body small and mimickey his movements. He ate some Red Clover. I hesitated for a moment not sure if I should do the same. I picked it up to take a closer look. Noticing all it's small petals and their colors. Can I eat this to? I took a nibble. Curious, I layed my head on the ground to see what else he was eating. I remember picking it for my rabbit and bringing it to his cage on a raining day. I saved one for myself to eat with him. He loved it and it made me happy to share a snack with him. There was something about the moment with clover that stuck with me. I've heard similar stories from people's first memory of working with herbs. They were moved somehow and it kept them curious. This collective curiousity has built thousands of years of knowledge & experiences which we wrap up with a single word (in English) Herbalism. Recently someone asked me "what is Herbalism?" It was a truely inspiring moment because it reminded me that everyone has the potential for a new beginning towards the path of plant medicine. No matter how far people have gotten away from in the last 100+ years, curiousity will always bring people back to plants! I have prepared a little series for the coming weeks where we will cover some facts about Herbalism 🍃 Most of the juicy content will be in newsletter..
