Radiant Art Retreats + Art Feeds Day!

"Art is our one true global language. It knows no nation, it favors no race, and it acknowledges no class. It speaks to our need to reveal, heal, and transform. It transcends our ordinary lives and lets us imagine what is possible."
Richard Kamler

What brings you joy? For me its art and its people. Combining the two create an explosion of delight.

One of the most perfect unions of these, that I know of, is Art Feeds. Art Feeds is a program that equips schools and children's organizations with resources to create spaces where children's creativity and expression thrive. Aka they bring an explosion of art and healing and joy to kids all over the world.

I have been privileged enough to get to work with and support Art Feeds for the past 3 years through my business, podcast, friendship and now through Radiant Art Retreats! Brooke and Meg, who run Art Feeds, are some of my favorite humans. Their gif game is top-notch, their generosity is humbling, their wisdom uplifting and their dedication to serving kids all over the world is awe-inspiring. From creating art centers for victims of sex trafficking to turning an old bus into a mobile art center to donating 1000s of art supplies and healing art curriculum to kids all over the world - their reach is far and beautiful. They are making big changes in the world and I'm so honored to get to play a very small part in that. Every purchase you make in my shop or when you attend a Radiant Art Retreat - YOU are joining the Art Feeds team as 10% of all purchases go to support their mission.

Lets celebrate Art Feeds Day!

Today is a super fun and special day for Art Feeds. Its Art Feeds Day! A day where people, like you and me, all over the world create in honor of their mission: to bring healing through art.

To celebrate, Art Feeds has created a free lesson that shares their core values and mission and helps you create collaboratively to celebrate all of our unique gifts as creators. You can do it with your kids, family, friends, church group, tennis group, art group, coworkers, strangers - anyone because we're ALL artists!

At the Radiant Art Retreat in October, we created two collaborative handprints in order to celebrate alongside Art Feeds and help bring others into the Art Feeds Team - whether that be through financial support, raising awareness or becoming a teacher of the art feeds curriculum in your job or community.

We had a ton of fun working on these together. It's so fun to see everyone's different styles and vision and how it all comes together perfectly imperfect to form a beautiful representation of life. All of our gifts melding together to create a safe space for exploration, healing, connection, joy, and ART!

If you want to see a little more joy, art, and healing in the world spend some time getting to know Art Feeds and seeing how you can be involved. I have recommended the curriculum to so many of my friends who run community centers in Nepal, schools in Cambodia, ministries in the US and on and on. Create with them, support them, connect with them, learn from them, share them! Go give Art Feeds some love today and check out these additional ways that I've connected with Art Feeds over the years:

Now, who are you going to create your handprint art with?!
