And when we sit down with scissors and images that call to us, something quiet inside us begins to speak. In this conversation, you'll explore:Why collage is one of the most accessible forms of somatic self-expressionHow layering in art mirrors the layers we carry as human beingsThe healing power of making something with your hands without a plan or a gradeWhat it means to work so slowly you can hear yourself living (yes, Elizabeth Gilbert makes an appearance)Molly's Traveling Postal Club, where strangers make collage postcards and mail them to people they loveHow procrastination might actually be a process, not a flawView extended shownotes hereSubscribe to Sense of Peace (Kathy's Substack) today!
