Before the dialogue begins, we consider the nature of symbols, their potential role in our spiritual/philosophical development, and some of the special symbolic and magical potency of the horse in particular.The video version of this episode includes images of Nica's artwork:https://youtu.be/OInMqIrQUYw Nica Quinn is a visionary artist, perpetually inspired by nature and horses and the roles they play in deepening our understanding about ourselves. Her mission is to bridge the gap of the spiritual, ethereal realms with the physical, to inspire others to tap into the magic that lies beyond the tangible. Horses have been her gateways, her guides, and her muses throughout her life and artistic journey, and continue to lead her down this path. She began sharing images on social media with what was going on in her internal world with horses, and found that there were a lot of people resonating with what she depicted; it has now evolved into horses at the forefront, but really the interconnection of everything. She has been a digital freelance artist since 2020, offering custom pet portraits, intuitive personal portraits which has led her to other amazing collaborations with horsewoman around the world. She has also hosted online creative workshops, and co-hosted retreats weaving together creativity and horse wisdom.
