Welcome back to the Are You Spiritual Podcast! In this week’s episode, we dive into the connection between creativity and spirituality. Inspired by her weekly horoscope, Jenny poses the question, of "just how do we 'harness' our creativity, exactly?" And, how do we use our imagination to enhance our spiritual practice? We talk about what creativity is, and how we can reconnect with our own while living in a hustle culture world? We talk about the connection between creativity -in the form of artistic expression- and divinity. Jenny makes the great connection about clearing out our blocks or programming as a way to make space for creativity and art.
We talk about the importance of Artists in the world and how they help us interpret and understand our external world. The discussion ranges from Banksy, to personal style and our own struggles with self expression, while expanding on the different forms creativity and creative thought can take. It’s a real journey to say the least and we can’t wait to hear your responses!
