Are you looking for a way to release emotional “stuckness” without more thinking and analyzing?

Ben and Mitra explore how art becomes a healing practice that helps you process emotions and get to clarity about almost any issue you feel stuck on. You'll learn why messy, imperfect artistic expression in any form (movement, painting, singing, etc) often brings the deepest clarity, and discover simple ways to start expressing yourself—no talent required. If you've ever said "I'm just not an artist" or felt like creativity is a luxury you can't afford, this episode will shift everything.

What You’ll Learn:

• How letting go of outcomes opens up healing and insight through creative expression.
• Simple techniques for how to use your emotions as creative fuel in a variety of artistic expressions, without any previous skill required
• The repetition technique for creative flow—Ben's simple method for moving from overthinking into pure creative expression.

If you’re someone who ….

• Feels like everything must be productive, leaving no room for creative joy
• Believes "I'm not artistic" and thinks creativity is only for talented people
• Wants a way to process difficult emotions without more thinking and analyzing

…then you’ll want to be sure to listen in on this episode. Enjoy!
