The Art of Healing with Coach and Author Barbara Bustard

This week's episode is with Barbara Bustard who is an artist, teaching artist, author, and meditative art workshop leader. A graduate of Notre Dame University of Maryland with a degree in Religious Studies and Art, Barbara particularly enjoys providing spiritual and meditative art experiences. She is a firm believer in research which has proven that healing is in the process, that creating for the mere act of creating, regardless of the perfection of the end result, is very beneficial to one's mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health. Barbara strives to develop the creative potential of every person, but most of all, a desire to create for the sake of creating to receive all the benefits art provides. She is the author of The Art of Healing 12 Step by Step Meditative Art Exercises for Improved Physical, Mental and Spiritual Wellbeing and Haiku in Black and White.  A Collection of 100 Haiku Poems and Black and White Photography for Daily Inspiration. Barbara is also a contributing author in Volumes 1 and 3 of The Ultimate Guide to Self-Healing series. When not teaching, making art, or writing, Barbara enjoys Nature Photography, always looking for the Extraordinary in the Ordinary.
