The inspiration that's moving me to return to this painting emerged through EMDR therapy. I've had close to 40 sessions since starting back up in the beginning of the year.

It has been an astronomical blessing to no longer be paying out of pocket to get the help I've needed.

In recent sessions, I've been bringing in artworks and constellating with them, and experiencing somatic shifts more powerful than anything I've experienced with actual psychedelics or breathwork.

This painting was created during the time that the trauma that I've been healing from took place.

Returning to it now and tending to it with all my heart is my Soul medicine - even if what it's asking for potentially "ruins" the image - every stroke of my brush is helping me re-weave and access the empowerment within- and that's what counts. I'm all-in, and deeply moved by the beauty.

I dream of a world where trauma recovery support is adequately available to all, where healing practitioners are generously supported and resourced, and where people ultimately are more connected with their Souls and with the Soul of our world.

I am committed to doing whatever I can to contribute to the healing, wellbeing, and empowerment of others however Inspiration moves me <3 thank you for reading!
